Abstract

Multisite study participation provides an opportunity for hospitals to gain access to the resources required to facilitate nursing research. The nurse-led Parent Educational Discharge Support Strategies for children newly diagnosed with cancer (PEDSS) multisite study engaged direct care nurses for successful implementation across 16 Magnet(R)-designated hospitals. This article addresses strategies to overcome barriers to nursing research demonstrated through the PEDSS experience.
