Current literature frequently reports improved student knowledge, skills and attitudes following EBP teaching, but there is limited evidence that these gains are sustained in practice.Aim: To offer a critical reflection on the current direction of research on teaching EBP in undergraduate nursing education and to identify priorities for a more clinically meaningful research agenda.Discussion: The literature consistently suggests that structured, interactive and clinically integrated EBP teaching can improve short-term student outcomes. However, the field is dominated by single-site studies, quasi-experimental and cross-sectional designs, self-report measures and minimal follow-up beyond course completion. This creates a persistent gap between what research measures and what nurse educators, clinicians and health systems need to know, namely whether undergraduate EBP teaching produces graduates who can use evidence in routine care. Greater attention to transferring knowledge into practice is therefore required, including objective assessment, contextual influences in placement settings and longitudinal follow-up across the transition from student to registration.Conclusion: Research on undergraduate EBP education has established that students can learn EBP principles but has not yet demonstrated which educational models produce sustained clinical capability. The next phase of enquiry should move beyond immediate classroom outcomes towards stronger, practice-oriented designs.Implications for practice: Nurse educators, clinical partners and researchers should co-design studies that assess EBP capability across academic and clinical contexts, using outcome measures that reflect real-world evidence rather than self-assessment alone.","PeriodicalId":47412,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Researcher","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149076238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing multiperspectival designs often focus on single-context groups, limiting opportunities to capture relational and contextual diversity.Aim: To present a multilayered perspectival IPA design that brings together distinct participant groups to enhance inclusivity and illuminate diverse perspectives.Discussion: The design progresses from individual accounts to dyadic perspectives, group-level insights and whole-group interpretations. This sequencing preserves IPA's idiographic focus while attending to relational dynamics. Triangulation across layers reveals convergences and divergences in meaning-making, and the dyadic lens captures how people make sense of shared experiences.Conclusion: Multilayered perspectival IPA offers a flexible, rigorous approach that enhances IPA's translational potential and supports the development of evidence-based, person-centred nursing interventions.Implications for practice: Multilayered analysis can guide nurses in tailoring interventions to individuals and to the care contexts shaping their experiences, supporting more person-centred and context-responsive practice.","PeriodicalId":47412,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Researcher","volume":" ","pages":"32-42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148303556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iterative thematic analysis integrated visual and verbal data with cross-modal triangulation (AI and child health experts).

However, the role remains variably understood, and nurses transitioning from ward-based practice may encounter role ambiguity, inconsistent induction and challenges to professional identity.Aim: To critically reflect on the transition from ward-based nursing into clinical research nursing and to identify implications for workforce support and professional development.Discussion: A reflective practice approach was used, drawing on professional experience across respiratory and oncology research settings, including progression to a senior CRN leadership role. Reflection was informed by relevant literature on induction, professional identity and workforce development. Transition into CRN roles involved increased autonomy, altered working patterns and sustained patient relationships. Limited structured induction and mentorship affected early confidence, while organisational support and leadership visibility influenced role consolidation. Core nursing values remained central across settings.Conclusion: Clinical research nursing is an evolving clinical pathway requiring greater visibility within nursing education and workforce planning. Structured induction, mentorship and improved awareness of research delivery roles are important to support transition and sustain research-active practice.Implications for practice: Healthcare organisations and educators should strengthen support mechanisms and increase exposure to CRN roles to enhance recruitment, retention and professional development.","PeriodicalId":47412,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Researcher","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148537295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using disposable cameras, participant-led photo tasks, semi-structured interviews and integrated visual-verbal analysis, the study explored how photo elicitation supported adolescent engagement while generating insight into how young people perceived and used urban greenspaces.Discussion: This article discusses the methodological and ethical issues that arose in the study, including camera training, timely return of cameras, assent and parental consent, privacy and image ownership, and the interpretation of photographs alongside interview and fieldnote data. It also reflects on the integration of emic and etic perspectives and on the role of reflexivity in analysing adolescent-generated visual data.Conclusion: Trustworthiness was supported through verbatim transcription, audit trails, NVivo analysis and team triangulation, with analysis informed by the approach of Braun and Clarke (2006) . Photo elicitation supported reflection, participant-led discussion and richer contextual understanding of adolescents' experiences.Implications for practice: This article offers practical guidance for nursing researchers using visual methods with adolescents, with an emphasis on study design, ethical planning, and integrated analysis of visual and verbal data.

Having three nurses with National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) senior research leadership (SRL) awards has provided the catalyst to support nurses to use, deliver and participate in evidence-based practice through the development of a clinical academic research academy (CARA) within Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT).Aim: To share the experience of developing CARA to provide nurses with the knowledge, skills, support and confidence to participate in evidence-based practice, innovation and research.Discussion: The absence of organisational support for clinical nurses to engage in research-related activities is a recurring research finding and a major obstacle to promoting an effective research culture. In conjunction with other barriers, including insufficient time, lack of knowledge and skills, and limited authority, it can be difficult for nurses to become actively involved in research. Balancing clinical responsibilities, workload and research is challenging, and targeted strategies are required to address this.
