In entering the higher education arena, nursing and midwifery has had to contend with a number of challenges. Centre stage is the inherent tension between the maintenance of both academic/professional and practice/service based foci. While few would dispute that research activity with local service partners can act to enhance nursing care, a strong argument can be made that the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) has had a disproportionate effect on the research activity of academic health care departments. In this paper, Julie Taylor and Stewart Cable set out to explore the tension in detail by examining the opportunities and challenges of undertaking small scale, often severely time-constrained but locally grounded, studies. Their article draws on a portfolio of recent projects undertaken by themselves and outlines the benefits and challenges that such activities can generate.
在进入高等教育领域的过程中，护理和助产专业不得不应对诸多挑战。核心问题在于维持学术/专业重点与基于实践/服务的重点之间固有的紧张关系。虽然很少有人会质疑与当地服务伙伴开展的研究活动有助于提升护理质量，但有充分理由认为，研究评估活动（RAE）对学术医疗部门的研究活动产生了不成比例的影响。在本文中，朱莉·泰勒和斯图尔特·凯布尔着手通过研究开展小规模、通常时间紧迫但基于当地实际情况的研究的机遇与挑战，来详细探讨这种紧张关系。他们的文章借鉴了他们自己近期开展的一系列项目，并概述了此类活动可能带来的益处和挑战。
