Abstract

Meeting the Challenge of the Explosion in Nursing Knowledge A problematic aspect of the knowledge explosion in nursing and the health sciences has been the lack of user-friendly, intuitive, up-to-date databases for researchers, clinicians, policy-makers, and others to link up with experts in both méthodologie and substantive areas. Examples of challenging situations include: _ the researcher seeking someone to assist with data analysis _ the editor or grant administrator requiring an expert reviewer _ the health-care provider seeking treatment advice _ the investigator attempting to establish a national or international research network _ the policy-maker having to make evidence-based decisions _ the individual seeking advice and support for optimizing health The Canadian-International Nurse Researcher Database has been developed to address such challenges as these. Launched in the spring of 1999, the CNRD is rapidly becoming a valuable addition to nurses' research infrastructure.
