The translation of knowledge as a subsidy for the nursing practice

摘要

Discoveries and innovations in the Biomedical and Biotechnology areas changed the clinical research reality. Progress in Molecular Biology, Genomic Sciences, Cell and Tissue Engineering, Proteomics Technologies, Bioengineering, Bioimaging and Computational Methods are among the many advances that contribute to health promotion(1). Basic research, preclinical research, clinical research, systematic reviews, phenomenological studies or social representations seek to respond to a singular goal: to elucidate the demands of the care practice. However, there is still a gap between research evidence and its application to individual or community care.
