Research and Research Utilization
These abstracts can focus on any aspect of critical care nursing research including reports of research studies or reports of research utilization. Only completed abstracts will be accepted.
Abstracts reporting research studies must address the problem statement, methods, sample, instruments, findings, and conclusions. Abstracts reporting research utilization studies must address (1) the summary literature on which the practice change is based, (2) methods of implementation and evaluation, and (3) impact on clinical practice.
Accepted abstracts will be designated as either an oral presentation or a poster presentation.

Creative Solutions
These abstracts focus on a specific strategy to solve a difficult, unique, or interesting problem in patient care, nursing practice, nursing management, or nursing education. Examples are patient care studies, workplace transition strategies, ways to improve the quality of care, professional development, unique approaches to education, ways to improve the intensive care environment, ways to integrate the family into critical care, orientation strategies, preventive health strategies, and collaborative or interdisciplinary projects.
The creative solution must already have been implemented, with outcomes evaluated.
