  • Title: Nursing research: what is it and how can dermatology nurses use it?
    Author: Smith MC.
    Journal: Dermatol Nurs; 2007 Oct; 19(5):435-7; quiz 438. PubMed ID: 18286857.
    Abstract:
    The International Council of Nurses (2007) defines nursing research as a systemic inquiry that seeks to obtain new nursing knowledge for the benefit of patients, families, and communities and includes all aspects of health that are of interest to nursing including health promotion, disease prevention, and care during illness and recovery or towards a peaceful death. There is an increased amount of clinical research available to nurses and now we are challenged to utilize this knowledge to improve patient care. Just like Florence Nightingale, nurses today need to make observations, collect data, and use the analysis of that data to support and guide current nursing care.
