Why the study?
Many nurses and allied professionals lack the skills, knowledge, and confidence to engage in conducting and implementing research.
This statement highlights the importance of involving nurses and allied professionals in cardiovascular clinical research and outlines pathways to overcome existing barriers.
NAP research gaps in CV care limit engagement; leaves open effective strategies to build capacity and improve outcomes.
Many nurses and allied professionals (NAPs) lack the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage in conducting and implementing research. This statement describes the importance of NAPs' involvement in clinical research within the context of cardiovascular care. The existing gaps, barriers and enablers to NAPs involvement in research as a potential response to workforce issues in these professions as well as to contribute to excellence in patient care delivery and associated outcomes are identified. Specifically, career development pathways for NAPs are discussed. Finally, potential future directions for NAP research in clinical practice are provided.
