Abstract

Research in nursing is fundamental for the development of scientific knowledge aimed at providing efficient care and, consequently, improving the quality of care for users. Nevertheless, in many countries, among them those in Latin America, research in nursing by clinical professionals is poorly developed and has been relegated to the academic spheres. It is a fact that clinical nurses do not research, alluding to several factors that limit their development, including the lack of time, incentives, or funding. Some even acknowledge lack of interest. However, not conducting research does not keep the nursing practice to develop and adopt updated and effective strategies and interventions, as a way of avoiding its becoming obsolete and based on arbitrary actions.
