Building Research Capacity in Urological Nursing Through International Strength‐Based Collaboration
ABSTRACT The development of building research capacity (BRC) is critical for empowering individuals, institutions, organisations and nations by systematically defining and prioritising research questions. It is deemed essential for advancing healthcare research. In the context of Urological Nursing, there is a pressing need to develop BRC to enable nurses to adopt an evidence‐based and broadened scope of practice. This reflective article discusses the authors' experiences with BRC during post‐doctoral training in urological nursing, facilitated through an international Strengths‐Based Nursing and Healthcare mentoring program. Additionally, the BRC in Urological Nursing is highlighted as a means to expand and solidify the specialised knowledge within this field.
