What is The research potential of practice nurses: Research potential of practice nurses about?

Little is known about the research aspirations and experiences of practice nurses.

All practice nurses (n = 1,054) in the above areas were sent a questionnaire, and a total of 40% (n = 426) responded after two follow-up letters. Fifty-five respondents who volunteered for further participation were interviewed, either individually or in focus groups.
