“…The findings could also indicate that the most important aspect for the leaders, in terms of increasing their knowledge and awareness concerning the management and support of research in clinical practice, is the opportunity to participate in a safe and appreciative learning environment with peers, where they are challenged and dispel their preconceptions. This is supported by other studies (Wilson et al, 2008).…”

“…The director for nursing research (second author) was asked to initiate the process and help appoint a competent JCNL facilitator (first author). Because the initiative came from the leaders themselves, a participatory approach -action learning -was chosen as the pedagogical method (McCormack, Henderson, Boomer, Collin, & Robinson, 2008;Wilson, McCormack, & Ives, 2008).…”

Aim:To describe whether an action learning-inspired journal club for nurse leaders can develop the leaders' self-perceived competences to support a research culture in clinical nursing practice.Background: Development of clinical research capacity and nurse leaders with the requisite competences are key factors in evidence-based health care practice. This study describes how nurse leaders at a large regional hospital took part in a journal club for nurse leaders, with a view to developing their competences to support a nursing research culture in their departments. Methods:A pilot study using a multimethod approach to evaluate the journal club for nurse leaders. Four nurse leaders participated in the journal club for nurse leaders.Content analysis on the data was performed.

“…Relationship building can be very important to promote a safe atmosphere where it is acceptable to expose one's actions and thoughts [22]. Participating and exposing oneself in action learning groups can be challenging and overwhelming for the individual, but in the end, the result is deeper personal growth [39].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate action learning as an implementation method in a large-scale project with many participants in several autonomous and geographically spread groups. The focus of the implementation was the Model of Practical Skill Performance as a learning and supervision tool in the clinical education of nursing students. Nineteen action learning groups were established, and a total of 129 clinical supervisors and 13 facilitators were involved. To evaluate the implementation process, qualitative data were generated through three focus group interviews, questionnaires, and notes. Data illuminate clinical supervisors’ perceptions of value, impact, and sustainability when they participate in an action learning group to become familiar with the Model of Practical Skill Performance. The deductive data analysis was guided by central concepts from action learning. Action learning proved to be an engaging and effective tool in the implementation where the main strength seemed to be the autonomous local group supporting collective reflections on actions. Clinical supervisors had the right competences to adopt a reflective process-oriented approach, which is the hallmark of action learning. This study shows the necessity of collaboration between stakeholders in practice, education, and management to implement large-scale projects in clinical practice. The findings imply that managers should choose participants on the basis of their motivation and their voluntary wish to participate and that nurses’ immersion in the project over time aids implementation.

“…Our meetings and discussions were inspired by action learning and characterized by learning together by collective discussions and reflections in relation to our practical work and studies (Wilson et al, 2008). In the light of this, the aim of our network has evolved during the first year.…”

Research networks have significant value and are essential for conducting high-quality applied health research. In this article, we describe the establishment, content, and contribution of a Danish national qualitative interpretive description (ID) network. There are only a few examples of clinical research networks and in most qualitative research methodology is not highly prioritized. Still, a number of nurses and allied health professionals work with qualitative methods and applied health research. This may call for different kinds of networks depending on the geographical context, management support, background, and goal of the network. In this article, we share our knowledge of different kinds of networks and in particular our experiences with an ID knowledge-creating network. The network has provided us with results in the form of stimulating professional conversations and discussions. It has also strengthened the methodological depth of our research and the epistemological standpoints.
