This article explores the gap that currently exists between nursing research and nursing practice. The aim is to promote the conversion of new knowledge into practical innovations. Barriers to research utilization in practice settings come from both the academic and clinical arenas. Innovative models and strategies are needed to overcome these barriers. The purposes and value of research utilization and the clinical and academic strategies that facilitate research are discussed. Supporting clinical studies are provided as exemplars.

In addressing what constitutes nursing research in the 1990s, approaches to conducting nursing research and examples of studies are discussed in the context of historical forces. The early studies were characteristically educational in focus and quantitative by design. Nursing research has come a long way in regard to foci of the questions asked, diversity of approaches to knowledge development, and sophistication of research methods. Three approaches are described to illustrate the diversity in nursing research: quantitative, qualitative, and triangulation.
All nurses have a part to play in nursing research, even those with elementary skills in research. This article introduces nursing research to nurses in clinical practice who may not be familiar with the research process, but who can use research findings to guide their practice. It is also intended to foster collaboration between researchers and practitioners, so that they will work together through research to establish a specialized knowledge base for nursing.

The present study investigated pre and postpartum attitudes toward self, spouse, and ideal of 47 primiparous couples who chose the psychoprophylactic (Lamaze) method of childbirth, 34 who were able to share the delivery as planned (y/y), and 13 who were blocked from doing so due to complications necessitating cesarean sections (y/n). Osgood Semantic Differential ratings revealed that both y/n men and women perceived self and various ideal concepts lower pre and postnatally than did y/y subjects. Both groups of women showed statistically significant increases pre-post in activity for several concepts, with y/n women also showing increases in potency for the ideal woman. The y/n husbands showed no statistically significant pre-post gains, while the y/y husbands widened a statistically significant gain pre-post on the activity dimension for self. Implications for nursing practice and for further research are discussed.
