目的：展示发展方法在建立和维持跨学科研究联盟中的作用。组织建设：跨学科合作为推进不断发展的研究计划提供了巨大的希望。资助机构对跨学科工作的承诺进一步加强了这些合作。然而，护士研究人员并不一定具备战略地、成功地建立和维持跨学科合作所需的知识和技能。方法：成功地建立、扩展和维持联盟的战略是用发展的方法组织的，并以实例说明。发现：建立联盟的初始阶段侧重于创建一个有限的网络，以支持相对明确的研究目标。具有凝聚力的跨学科团队随后被扩展到最初的团队之外，以战略性地解决更广泛的研究目标。随着团队的成熟，重点转向通过共享领导来维持团队，更积极地关注该领域的发展，而不是发展个人研究项目。结论：护理科学的进步要求护理研究人员重新思考建立适当研究团队的发展阶段。打造、扩展和维持跨学科联盟的战略方法将护士研究人员定位为创新跨学科研究的领导者。跨学科团队的发展支持转化性研究，进而支持支撑实践的科学。临床相关性：反映跨学科观点的研究特别适合于解决患者、家庭和社区遇到的复杂健康问题。
Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of a developmental approach to building and sustaining cross-disciplinary research alliances.Organizing Construct: Cross-disciplinary collaborations offer great promise for advancing an evolving program of research. Funding agencies' commitment to interdisciplinary work further heightens these collaborations. Nurse researchers, however, are not necessarily equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to strategically and successfully build and maintain cross-disciplinary collaborations.Methods: Successful strategies for forging, extending, and sustaining alliances are organized using a developmental approach and illustrated by exemplars.Findings: The initial phase of forging alliances is focused on creating a limited network to support relatively clear-cut research goals. The cohesive cross-disciplinary team is subsequently extended beyond the initial team to strategically address broader research goals. As the team matures, emphasis shifts toward sustaining the team through shared leadership that more actively focuses on the development of the field than the development of individual programs of research.Conclusions: The advancement of nursing science requires nurse researchers to rethink the developmental phases of building appropriate research teams. Strategic approaches for forging, extending, and sustaining cross-disciplinary alliances position nurse researchers as leaders in innovative cross-disciplinary research. The development of cross-disciplinary teams supports translational research and, by extension, the science that undergirds practice.Clinical Relevance: Research that reflects cross-disciplinary perspectives is particularly well suited to addressing the complex health issues encountered by patients, families, and communities.
