Abstract
Patient care needs in ambulatory care (AC) settings continue to grow and evolve in the United States, with commensurate growth of nursing responsibilities in AC. Conducting research on the nursing workforce and nursing practice is essential to understanding and meeting the needs of nurses and patients in this setting. However, the structures and characteristics of AC settings pose challenges for conducting research on AC nursing practice. This article explains unique barriers to participation in research for nurses in AC, describes recruitment challenges for nurse researchers in AC, and provides strategies to increase recruitment of nurses for AC research. Researchers in AC must find ways to recruit representative participant samples, be clear and precise in defining terms, and report robust demographic information about participants and their practice settings.
