However, there is a great need to increase the support for nurse researchers at the postdoctoral level and to shift toward a balance in the distribution of funding for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows and trainees. ADVANCES IN NURSING RESEARCH Nursing research may be considered to be organized into three general categories: acute and chronic illness, heals promotion and disease prevention, and systems of care.

Systems of Care Nurse researchers are evaluating the clinical context in which heals care is provided, the process of nursing care, and organizational factors that affect patient outcomes and quality of care delivery. For example, the cardiovascular effects of noise and light have been studied in neonatal intensive care units and coronary care units.

There is new 75 interest in the implications of cultural diversity for health and for developing effective health care interventions. Nurse researchers have developed a track record in this area of research with vulnerable populations and have the collaborative networks established to expand in this area.

They are moving into clinical practice after obtaining a bachelor of science degree and a master's degree, and proceeding into advanced clinical practice or academic roles before entering doctoral programs. This lock-step career progression does not encourage talented young nurses to pursue an interest in research training early in their careers.

However, with the current funding levels of postdoctoral trainees and fellows combined with an attractive job market and the average age of 41 for nurses completing doctoral study, it is difficult to attract large numbers into the program. To date, most of the NINR's NRSA program has supported predoctoral fellows and trainees because of the urgent need to increase the number of adequately prepared researchers.

Balance in Mechanisms of Support Because nursing research is a burgeoning field of science, Here is a critical need to have an increased number of highly trained nurse researchers to develop information Hat is at the cutting edge for nursing practice and health care. Support for research Paining at He Predoctoral level must be expanded to increase the number of nurse researchers prepared at the postdoctoral level.
