JEANETTE LANCASTER WAS FIRST-PLACE WINNER OF THE THIRD ANNUAL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN WRITING, CO-SPONSORED BY HUMANA INC., THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR NURSING, AND NURSING & HEALTH CARE. IT IS THE FOURTH IN A SERIES OF KEY ARTICLES FROM THE FIRST 20 YEARS OF Nursing Education Perspectives REPRINTED TO CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF PUBLICATION. COMMENTARY IS OFFERED BY DR. MARY TILBURY. Nursing has, for decades, experienced divisiveness between practice and education. Nurses in clinical settings say that faculty have long since lost the ability to provide competent and innovative care and are not educating students for the real world. Similarly, educators are wont to complain that practicing nurses do not base their actions on an adequate conceptual base. It seems strange that educators seem to be against those in practice, and vice versa, when each group holds as a major goal the ability to influence the quality of patient care. * Research offers a mechanism for enabling nurses in education and practice to move beyond an \"if it weren't for you\" attitude (1). As these groups mutually identify nursing care problems, !develop methodologies for examining alternatives or actions, and carry out and analyze research results, they tend to understand one another's world and one another's problems better and to realize that there is much more to gain by working with, rather than against, each other. We need each other, and when we roll up our sleeves and become involved in the challenges, rigors, joys, disappointments, and excitement of research, we come to know and appreciate one another more fully. Why Is Research Needed? Although more nurses are engaged in research today than ever before, systematic investigation into a wide range of educational, administrative, and practice issues is still needed. Research efforts in nursing were scanty before 1950 and, according to Notter, nursing \"had no real tradition of research as a basis for the improvement of nursing practice\" (2). Historically, nurses have been viewed as doers, not thinkers; hence, early research efforts focused on studying ways to improve procedures and activities more effectively rather than on the quality of nursing care. As graduate education advanced as a viable option for nurses who wished to remain in, and contribute to, the profession, so grew interest in nursing research. Federal support for nursing research and for doctoral preparation became increasingly available in the mid-1950s. As do other practice disciplines, nursing acknowledges that quality of care will improve as the scientific base for practice is expanded and strengthened (3). Professionals engaged in a practice discipline must master both the art and the science of the profession. One way to do so is through systematic inquiry designed to evaluate the extent to which practice strategies are effective in improving pa","PeriodicalId":77292,"journal":{"name":"Nursing & health care : official publication of the National League for Nursing","volume":"26 5 1","pages":"294-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57574517","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}

Today the situation has so vastly changed that this view no longer holds true. The public is called upon to aid in the decision-making process in health care by voting, organizing, and exercising influence on government, at the local, state, and federal levels. They require a certain awareness of nursing activities in order to make intelligent judgments about the expenditure of their tax dollars. Public funds already pay the lion's share, 40 percent, of health costs nationally, compared to 35 percent by the user and about 25 percent by private insurance plans. This makes the cost of health care not only a private concern but a public one, and increased public financing of health care is leading to governmental action across the nation. Among hospitals, pharmacists and pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical suppliers, and physicians, there is a growing effort toward building better understanding and relationships with consumers. Where there is public spending, there must be public understanding. Obviously, regarding nursing, this cannot be achieved overnight, but nurses must make a beginning in understanding the complexities of communicating information about their work and themselves to the public. Need for Nursing's Inclusion in Health Care Reform To even the casual observer it is increasingly obvious that the United States is in the very early stages of a revolutionary change in its health care delivery system. When a national survey asked, \"Which health care system do you think would be the best way to provide adequate medical and health care for all people?\" only one American in four, 25 percent, said, \"the present system.\" Just four years earlier, 30 percent spoke up for the present system. The leadership of the traditional health care industry has also drastically declined in public confidence since 1966 according to an annual survey by Louis Harris and Associates. To most Americans these days, what is changing most in the health care field are costs. For the average urban American, the cost of health care has soared 240 percent since 1968 - faster than any other basic living need, including food, housing, clothing, entertainment, and transportation. One out of every eleven dollars Americans spend today goes for health care. At a time when maintaining a single hospital bed can cost up to $30,000 per year - and when the average cost of a day's stay in the hospital has risen to over $200 from $35 in 1963 - the entire industry is the target of reform. The progress of health sciences, which offers increasing opportunities for curing diseases and improving health, creates a natural demand for new health care services. Americans want a large and increasing part of these to be provided as a public service, available to all with minimum discrimination due to financial means. Progress in this direction","PeriodicalId":77292,"journal":{"name":"Nursing & health care : official publication of the National League for Nursing","volume":"39 1","pages":"11-7; discussion 14-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57573469","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}
