Teaching Undergraduate Nursing Research A Collaborative Approach

We gave students a brief survey to determine the impact that participation in the project had on learning. Students indicated that they had increased knowledge on cardiovascular disease, anxiety, the research process, and how to effectively disseminate research findings. They indicated that participation in the project helped them develop group interaction skills. Their attitudes about research were positive, and they believed that the project was a valuable experience that should be continued. Students who participated in the entire implementation of the research process were more positive in their responses regarding the experience and participation in future research.
