Abstract

This article aimed to analyze nursing research, a cornerstone for improving practice. It describes theoretical frameworks on research and nursing, nursing practice, and care and research, highlighting the importance of recognizing nursing as a scientific discipline that produces knowledge through research. The ideal path to research and the final reflection that emerges are that nursing practice is not only a place to apply knowledge, but also a place to generate and test ideas that will allow for the development of knowledge, and that the triad of education, research, and practice strengthens the daily work of nurses.
