New study on European Nursing Research
Nursing research in Europe has the great potential to improve patients’ outcomes and impact evidence-based practice. However, according to a recent study on European nursing research, this remains overwhelmingly descriptive. The study conclusions call for European researchers in nursing to give strong leadership to a step change in the quality and nature of research undertaken by their departments. Moreover, nursing research are invited to raise the level of evidence and, therefore, the quality of care and patient outcomes.
