“…A collaborative eff ort between nursing school and community-based agencies has developed and implemented a shared position that combines academic and service institution responsibilities. This initiative was a way to "build a bridge" between nursing education and service that made research dissemination and implementing evidence-based practice possible [35]. Pragmatic Dissemination and Implementation approaches and strategies can be used by nurses to speed up research translation and to reduce the gap between science and practice [40].…”

Summary Nursing research is a relatively new area of professional development that began firstly in the USA and made significant progress during the second half of the 19th century. Nursing research has made significant progress in European countries, mainly developed countries. This article aimed to review publications describing the evolution of nursing research, the directions of development, and best practices in the USA and Europe. Different databases were searched according to selected criteria, and a narrative literature review was conducted. Forty-two articles from the USA and Europe were identified and included as the most appropriate in the analysis, published in 22 journals. During the analysis, five basic directions of developing nursing research were identified - nursing research education, organizational structures for nursing research and collaboration with clinical professionals, research dissemination and journals, trends and priorities, and funding nursing research. To increase research capacity and respond to the growing research culture and the requirements of the scientific community, nursing research education is needed at every educational level. Establishing organizational structures has proved the importance of supporting and encouraging nurses to participate in and conduct studies. Funding research in teams is more likely to occur at any organization or centеr than looking for funding sources from individuals. Encouraging nurses and midwives to conduct research in clinical practice and publish results from scientific studies will help achieve sustainable implementation of evidence-based practice.

Africa is faced with a myriad of challenges, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and a variety of political and historical complications that have affected the educational system for advanced nursing practice. In Kenya, the current situation in the higher education sector does not give nurses an opportunity to pursue graduate education after they have acquired the basic diploma in nursing due to limited government support and the type of education system existing in the country today. Although distance education has been available in Kenya for professionals such as teachers, in public universities, this kind of opportunity is unreachable for nurses who are working and need to further their education. Nurses desire to have access to advanced practice education to equip them with the relevant knowledge to cope and address the complex health issues arising in the management and care of patients. A collaborative model is presented as a potential solution for this need. Four major constituents are identified including hospitals and agencies, communities of interest, Kenyan universities and international education partners. Each has a part to play including contributions to information, communication of opinion and expertise, money and support, infrastructure and in-kind resources. Distance education is cost-effective and will help in building capacity at various levels of nursing including leadership in clinical practice, teaching, administration and research.
