[Centennial retrospective on the evolution and development of nursing research in Taiwan].

Nursing is a distinct branch of science. Nursing research is not only key to developing professional knowledge and but also to promoting nursing as an independent discipline. This paper describes the development and outcomes of nursing research over the past 100 years and then explores the factors that have influenced the focus of nursing research in the past. Findings may be applied to future efforts to promote nursing research. The authors hope that nurses integrate the best research evidence, the best clinical judgment, and the expectations of patients in order to provide the best quality of nursing care through reflection and praxis in nursing research. 世紀回眸—台灣護理研究的演變與發展護理是一門科學，護理研究是發展專業知識的重要步驟，促使護理成為一個獨立的學門。本文首先闡述過去百年來我國護理研究的推展與成果，其次為探討影響我國護理研究發展的因素，藉此作為未來推動護理研究的參考。期盼未來護理師能從研究中反思與實踐，整合最佳研究證據、臨床專業判斷、病人或家屬的期望及觀點，以提供病人最好的護理品質。
