The overall goal of nursing research
is to expand the state of science, stimulate new ideas and build
knowledge that will improve patient care and guide policy formation.
Over the past twenty years, the nursing profession has experienced
extraordinary growth in research productivity. Throughout this time,
scholars have given careful thought to the interface and interdependence
of research, education and practice, the tripartite mission of the
nursing discipline. The activities that promote these three agendas
are often viewed, particularly by beginning and mid-career academicians
and scientists, as competing rather than complementary.
Scientists, educators, and students
alike frequently struggle to build a program of research, often
without a framework for simultaneous productivity in education and
in practice. This seminar examines a strategic framework for bringing
together these high priority agendas to produce exceptional outcomes
in all areas. The strategy, complementary agenda building, is a
continuous process of planning the research, education and practice
activities to maximize outcomes of enduring value in all three areas.
Issues concerning the planning process and several principles of
personal action to guide and enhance the strategy will be discussed.
Professor Linda P. Brown is currently
the Miriam L. Stirl Professor in Nutrition, School of Nursing, University
of Pennsylvania. For the past 25 years, she has been involved in
research on models of health care delivery to vulnerable maternal
and neonatal groups. Her funded research on models of health care
delivery spans more than 20 years of work using home visits and
telephone contacts by advanced practice nurses in testing and developing
the Quality-Cost Model of Early Hospital Discharge and Advanced
Practice Nurse Intervention. Professor Brown has an extensive record
publication in peer-reviewed intra-and inter-disciplinary journals
and has presented her work at national and international professional
meetings.
