Purpose: Conducting nursing research in a community hospital setting is distinctly different from that in a major medical center where resources, long-established research committees and protocols are a matter of form. This partnership was designed to streamline the process, learn from each other and develop reciprocal research relationships.
Description: A qualitative research project, identified by the critical care CNS prompted formation of a partnership between the university and the hospital system. This presentation will address how the research project was conceptualized, how registered nurses in critical care 1)participated in education about the research process 2) assisted with data collection, 3)participated in data analysis and 4)how the expertise of nurses from academia and practice contributed to the success of the research endeavor.
Evaluation/Outcomes: The final product of this partnership was the completion of a qualitative research project with significant findings for practice and manuscript submission. By-products of the partnership were 1)a new found respect on both the academic and clinical side for colleagues in a different arena, 2)an excitement about nursing research in the clinical arena and 3) identification of a process to facilitate nursing research in the community hospital setting. The experience of these researchers can be illustrative of the potential for other cooperative scholarly endeavors between hospitals and local universities.
