FUTURE
Heightened focus on Evidence Based Practice
Development of a stronger evidence based through more rigorous methods and
multiple , confirmatory strategies .
Greater emphasis on systematic integrative reviews .
Expanded local research in health care settings.
Strengthening of multidisciplinary collaboration .
Expanded dissemination of research findings .
Increasing the visibility of nursing research .
Increased focus on cultural issues and health disparities.

Synthesis of global nursing priorities indentified the following :
i. Health promotion and disease prevention
ii. Promotion of health of vulnerable and marginalized communities .
iii. Patient safety and quality health care
iv. Development of EBP and transational research
v. Promotion of the health and well-being of older people
vi. Patient-centered care and care coordination
vii. Palliative and end of life care
viii. Care implications of genetic testing and therapeutics
ix. Capacity development of nurse researchers
x. Nurses working environments

Break-throughs Events



60s
Jeanne Quint Benoliel began a program of research that had major
impact on medicine, medical sociology,and nursing .She explained the
subjective experiences of patients following diagnosis with a life-
threatening illness (1967). Physicians in the early 1960s usually did not
advise women that they had breast cancer, even following a
mastectomy. Quints (1962, 1963) seminal study of the personal
experiences of women following radial mastectomy contributed to
changes in communication and information control by physicians and
nurses .
70s
Kathryn Barnards research led to breakthroughs in the area of
neonatal and child development . Her research program focused on the
identification and assessment of children at risk of developmental and
health problems , such as abused and neglected children and failure-to-
thrive children (Barnard , 1973 , 1976; Barnard and Collar , 1973; Barnard
et al .,1977). Her research contributed to work early interventions for
children with disabilities , and to the field of developmental
psychology.
80s
A team of researchers headed by Dorothy Brooten engaged in studies
that led to the development and testing of a model of site transitional
care . Brooten and her colleagues (1986,1988,1989), for
example,conducted studies of nurse specialist-managed home follow-
up services for very-low-birth-weight infants who were discharged
early from the hospital , and later expanded to other high -risk patients
(1994). The site transitional care model , developed in anticipation of
government cost-cutting measures in the 1980s , has been used as a
framework for patient who are at health risk as a result of early
discharge from hospitals , and has been recognized by numerous
health care disciplines .
90s
Many studies that have been identified as breakthroughs in nursing
research ( Donaldson, 2000) were conducted in the 1990s. As but one
example , several nurse researches had breakthroughs in the area of
psychoneuroimmunology (PIN) . Barbara Swanson and Janice Zeller,
for example , conducted several studies relating to HIV infection and
neuropsychological function (1993, 1998) that have led to discoveries in
environmental management as a means of improving immune system
status .
