There is an ever-growing need for clinically focused, culturally relevant research on which nurses can base their practice. However, there may not be a concurrent rise in efforts to strengthen infrastructure needed to promote research in developing and low-income countries. In such cases, nurse researchers must find innovative ways to address and overcome barriers to research. This article presents five exemplars of nurses conducting high-quality nursing research in resource-poor settings in southern and eastern Africa. Furthermore, it suggests strategies to address these barriers, such as piggybacking on larger studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and partnership with influential stakeholders. These tactics may be used to increase research productivity elsewhere.
对于以临床为重点、与文化相关且护士可将其实践建立于其上的研究的需求日益增长。然而，在加强发展中国家和低收入国家开展研究所需基础设施方面的努力，可能并未同步增加。在这种情况下，护士研究人员必须找到创新方法来应对和克服研究障碍。本文介绍了在南部和东部非洲资源匮乏地区开展高质量护理研究的五位护士典范。此外，本文还提出了应对这些障碍的策略，例如依附于更大规模的研究、跨学科合作以及与有影响力的利益相关者建立伙伴关系。这些策略可用于提高其他地区的研究生产力。
