The growing importance of research and development in the NHS presents a major challenge to nurses. They are not centrally involved in influencing the R&D agenda, while nursing research, despite its recent boom, is not seen as integral to evidence-based practice. This paper suggests that the R&D initiative, like most policy developments, mixes altruism and pragmatism. Its aims include cost containment and control of the professions, alongside its more overtly expressed commitment to improving the quality of care. Useful efforts are being made to tackle the shortcomings of nursing research. However, the paper argues that nurses attempting to influence the R&D agenda need to be alert to its political nuances if they are to be effective.
国民保健制度（NHS）中研发的重要性日益凸显，这给护士带来了重大挑战。他们并未在核心层面参与影响研发议程，而护理研究尽管近期蓬勃发展，但并未被视为循证实践的不可或缺部分。本文认为，与大多数政策发展一样，研发倡议兼具利他主义和实用主义。其目标包括成本控制和行业管控，以及更明确表达的改善护理质量的承诺。为解决护理研究的不足正在做出有益努力。然而，本文认为，试图影响研发议程的护士若要取得成效，就需要警惕其政治细微差别。
