Identifying research priorities with nurses at a tertiary children's hospital in the United Kingdom

“…() and Brenner et al . () in their development of research priorities for children's nursing in the USA and Ireland respectively. Such differences may reflect local pressures and organizational changes as well as treatment uncertainties.…”

“…; Brenner et al . ). The diversity in research priorities generated by these studies reflects a wide variation in the nursing care of children and the research questions most pertinent to nurses working with different patient populations and in different organizational contexts; see Table for some examples of recent initiatives.…”

Nursing research priorities based on CINAHL database: A scoping review

“…Many of these studies have applied the Delphi technique with a varying number of survey rounds to define the priorities (Cowman et al, 2012;Wynaden et al, 2014). Furthermore, the topics of the research priority studies vary from pressure injuries (Haesler, Carville, & Haesler, 2018) to children's nursing (Brenner et al, 2014) and mental health nursing (Wynaden et al, 2014). Despite the considerable number of research priority publications, limited efforts have been made to understand the big picture of nursing research priorities worldwide and, thus, to describe the essential topics of current research in nursing.…”

Research priorities for specialized nursing practice in the United Arab Emirates

“…Respiratory illnesses, breastfeeding and obesity are of high local importance (Loney et al 2013;Mahboub et al 2013; The Guardian 2014), whereas child and family-centred care, the provision of developmentally appropriate services and managing the deteriorating child have been identified as priorities internationally (Brenner et al 2014;Wilson et al 2010). Respiratory illnesses, breastfeeding and obesity are of high local importance (Loney et al 2013;Mahboub et al 2013; The Guardian 2014), whereas child and family-centred care, the provision of developmentally appropriate services and managing the deteriorating child have been identified as priorities internationally (Brenner et al 2014;Wilson et al 2010).…”

“…Other studies focused on specialist nursing practice, such as mental health, paediatric and school nursing. Such priorities may contribute to the development of the nursing profession and to the enhancement of safe and effective nursing care (Al-Yateem et al 2016;B€ ack-Pettersson et al 2008;Brenner et al 2014). The priorities identified in these studies offered little direction for the development of clinically relevant research programmes that could inform nursing practice, whereas studies in which nurses and midwives identified research priorities for their profession reported priorities focused on practice-based issues.…”
