Abstract
It is over 20 years since the Briggs (1971) report extolled the virtues of nursing becoming a research-based profession. However, despite progress having been made towards achieving a research base, studies all too rarely inform nursing practice. This article offers a number of explanations for this failure and demonstrates the benefits of research by examining nurses' knowledge of the factors that are important in taking an accurate blood pressure reading.
