“…To operationalize an organizationally feasible definition of research program, McSkimming, Johnson, and Harrison (1991) described the use of a conceptual framework to set the parameters and priorities for a clinical nursing research program. For McSkimming et al (1991), the process of developing and using a conceptual framework for a research program in a clinical setting was necessary to accomplish the testing of assumptions about relationships between key nursing concepts and practice outcomes.…”

“…For McSkimming et al (1991), the process of developing and using a conceptual framework for a research program in a clinical setting was necessary to accomplish the testing of assumptions about relationships between key nursing concepts and practice outcomes. They proposed development of a clinical research program based on department goals as well as a conceptual framework, thus linking research activities to nursing practice by increasing the scientific knowledge base about specific nursing care activities and patient outcomes (McSkimming et al, 1991, p. 541).…”

The 25-year anniversary of the Western Journal of Nursing Research (WJNR) marks an auspicious time for the Issues in Clinical Nursing Research (ICNR) department. ICNR has been a department in WJNR for one half of the journal's existence. This anniversary challenges us to review, evaluate, and take stock of the unresolved and emerging issues that need attention. We welcome this challenge as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and congratulate ICNR department contributors, the editors and publishers of WJNR, and especially Dr. Pamela Brink, for their courage, foresight, and strength of purpose in recognizing a need and opportunity and for turning this vision of a column devoted to issues in clinical nursing research into a reality.Like WJNR itself, the ICNR department started with a recognized need and vision. At the annual Western Institute of Nursing (WIN) Communicating Nursing Research Conference in 1989, after cochairing the Clinical Research Facilitators Special Interest Group meeting for the 2nd year, we felt a growing and intensifying commitment to the work involved with promoting research in the clinical setting. As we dialogued about the challenges, including talking about issues such as being isolated from other clinical research facilitators facing similar challenges and, to some extent, from our academic colleagues, it became apparent that we needed a structure for disseminating information about issues and strategies to promote clinical research. Therefore, we approached Dr. Brink about having a department in WJRN focused exclusively on articles relating to ICNR. In true Brink fashion, Pam seized the time at hand and advised us that she was in support of the idea and would discuss it with the publisher. She stated, however, that we needed to submit a written prospectus and to keep in mind that IF there were
