Background. Collaborative nursing research across academic and practice settings is imperative to generate knowledge to improve patient care. Models of academic/practice partnerships for nursing research are lacking. This paper reports data collected before and during a one-day retreat for nurse researchers and administrators from local universities and health care organizations designed to establish a regional nursing research partnership. Methods. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to address the study aims: (1) to assess research involvement and institutional research resources; (2) to assess interest in and concerns regarding cross-institutional collaborations; and (3) to describe perceptions of the purpose of a partnership and resources needed to ensure success. Results. Participants (n = 49) had differing perceptions of accessibility to resources; participants in practice settings reported less accessibility to resources, notably grant development, informatics, and research assistant support. Participants were interested in collaboration although concerns about conflict of interest were expressed. Four themes related to partnering were identified: harnessing our nursing voice and identity; developing as researchers; staying connected; and positioning for a collaborative project. Conclusion. Academic-practice research collaborations will become increasingly important with health care system changes. Strategies to develop and sustain productive partnerships should be supported.
背景。跨学术和实践环境开展合作护理研究对于生成改善患者护理的知识至关重要。目前缺乏护理研究的学术/实践伙伴关系模式。本文报告了为来自当地大学和医疗保健组织的护士研究人员及管理人员举办的为期一天的务虚会之前及期间收集的数据，该务虚会旨在建立区域护理研究伙伴关系。方法。采用定量和定性方法来实现研究目的：（1）评估研究参与情况和机构研究资源；（2）评估对跨机构合作的兴趣及关注事项；（3）描述对伙伴关系目的的看法以及确保成功所需的资源。结果。参与者（n = 49）对资源可及性的看法各异；实践环境中的参与者报告称资源可及性较低，尤其是在资助项目开发、信息学和研究助理支持方面。参与者对合作感兴趣，尽管表达了对利益冲突的担忧。确定了与伙伴关系相关的四个主题：发挥我们的护理声音和身份作用；作为研究人员成长；保持联系；以及为合作项目做好定位。结论。随着医疗保健系统的变革，学术 - 实践研究合作将变得愈发重要。应支持发展和维持富有成效的伙伴关系的策略。
