NNRU presents research findings to NMC
The National Nursing Research Unit (NNRU), part of the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery at King’s College London, recently presented the results of its review of evidence around the possible regulation of healthcare support workers to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
In February 2010 the NMC commissioned the NNRU to research the regulation of healthcare support workers. They were given three objectives:
* assess the evidence of risks presented to public protection from an unregulated healthcare support workforce
* identify and consider key questions to be addressed in developing models of regulation
* make recommendations for further work required in taking healthcare support regulation forwards.
Using action research to develop a thoracic support nurse role to enhance quality of care. Bellman, L, Corrigan, P
Nursing Times, June 2010, vol./is. 106/22(18-21).
An action research approach enabled frontline staff, called co-researchers, to systematically explore the change and development process of the new role. The 60 participants were the co-researchers, patients, ward nurses, and the multidisciplinary team.

Reflexivity: a review of the literature in the context of midwifery research.
Lambert, C, Jomeen, J, McSherry, W
British Journal of Midwifery, May 2010, vol./is. 18/5(321-6).
This article critically examines the existing midwifery literature associated with reflexivity. Reflexivity is a widely accepted concept central to qualitative research methodology. The importance of this process is highlighted demonstrating how it remains an integral part of ensuring the transparency and quality of research inquiry.

Participatory research, part 2: practical considerations.
Northway, R
International Journal of Therapy & Rehabilitation, May 2010, vol./is. 17/5(226-31).
Participatory research can make heavy demands upon both the researcher and the community with whom they work. Nonetheless it can also be a very rewarding process for all involved, and lead to real changes. It is thus important that a number of issues are considered and addressed, both before the research commences, and during the life of the research project.

Nursing research or research nursing? Two separate terms, two separate careers.
Johnson S, Stevenson K
Nurse Researcher, 01 April 2010, vol./is. 17/3(32-40).
The terms 'nursing research' and 'research nursing' are often confused, although the skill sets associated with each occupation are different. Clinical research nurses do not require academic research qualifications, although they develop considerable skills in the practice of research and their potential input into research planning should not be neglected. This paper considers the skills required in research nursing and how they develop, and highlights the importance of the research nurse to the conduct of a clinical trial.
