There still seems to be a limited understanding among practitioners of traditional quantitative medical research about the specific characteristics of different qualitative approaches which, due to the nature of the specific nursing care related problems studied, are often used in nursing research. It is of importance for all representatives of nursing and caring sciences to continue with ongoing efforts to establish a solid, widely accepted academic basis for clinical nursing research. Availability of adequate tutor and scientific supervisor competence is crucial for the progress of high-quality nursing research. The importance of the nursing and caring sciences in the successful development of evidence-based clinical practice is becoming widely acknowledged. Therefore, it is expected that in the future more and more responsible health care providers will realise the importance for the whole nursing care environment of encouraging such research.
