INTRODUCTION

In recent decades nursing research has evolved exponentially [1]. Different international organisations [2-4] promote research role of the care profession and there is strong evidence of the impact that care research has on the health and quality of life of the population. The International Council of Nurses considers it necessary to generate new knowledge to promote its involvement in health policies [4]. In Spain, Royal Decree 56/2005 of 21 January 2005 contributed to the creation of the European Higher Education and Research Area, with the regulation of official university postgraduate studies, which facilitated access to bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies [5].

This was a turning point in the academic and research development of the nursing profesión [5]. However, the development of the profession's scientific activity in recent years has been uneven in the different autonomous communities, with a certain variability, as shown in the study carried out by Morales-Asencio [6]. Studies such as the one developed by Santana [7] show that there is still a lot of room for improvement. ² In the Basque Country, the results of an observational study in 2014, in which a total of 1,108 nurses from the Basque Public Health Service (Osakidetza) participated, showed that 47.3% (524) of the professionals perceived that more than 60% of their clinical practice was evidence-based. However, 63.2% (700) reported not having participated in any activity related to research or Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and 64.3% (712) identified a situation where they would have needed an evidence-based response [8].

For all these reasons, it is necessary to analyse nursing research in our social and healthcare context in order to establish actions aimed at promoting and improving it.
