Expanding the dialogue on praxis in nursing research and practice.

The intent of this article is twofold: to expand the dialogue on research as praxis in nursing as articulated by Newman and to support the concept of praxis as a catalyst for extending nursing knowledge. The article revisits the concept of research as praxis through examining critiques by other writers. It explores the notion of praxis as practice within the methodology and research protocol developed by Newman and extended by other researcher-practitioners including the author.
