Nurses' perceptions of involvement in Thunder Project. American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Thunder Project task force. 1995

The American Association of Critical-Care Nurse's (AACN) Thunder Project was conceptualized and developed to provide critical-care nurses with a research protocol ready for institutional review and implementation. Project goals included providing a research package (protocol, educational, and data collection materials) and a topic of clinical significance to critical-care nurses. Site coordinators and research associates were identified at participating institutions to coordinate and implement all study activities. In this article, an evaluation study undertaken to recount perceptions of site coordinators and research associates in relation to project goals and research experience is described. Data demonstrated that study goals were achieved, and research experience was considered professionally enhancing. Written comments described barriers to project implementation at participating sites. Obtaining informed consent and physician approval and/or cooperation were identified as significant barriers to implementation at some sites.
