Involving staff in research will improve communication and heighten interest of nurses in research. Hopefully, this sharing will result in more research questions to be asked by researchers than are relevant to clinical practice. Also, sharing will encourage and facilitate the development of research-based practice and contribute to more varied and skilled research teams. Such collaborative activities between clinicians and nurses will further acquaint each group with the other's world and ultimately improve patient care and expand nursing science. Ultimately, these relationships will increase researchers' investment in clinical care and clinicians' research savvy and confidence.
