RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to develop a revised pediatric Research Agenda that highlights the clinical and research priorities for pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses and is culturally sensitive and inclusive. METHOD: The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) Research Committee developed the Research Agenda 2021-2026 by conducting a cross-sectional study that surveyed the membership on their research and clinical priorities in June 2020. Twenty-four priorities were identified within seven areas of focus. RESULTS: Among the 7,509 National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners members, 273 (3.6%) responded to the email and 199 completed the survey. DISCUSSION: This revised Research Agenda is a bold and innovative guide for grant funding, publications, continuing education offerings, conference planning, and abstract submissions for posters and podium presentations aimed at improving pediatric health care. A discussion of the process and considerations for the future development of pediatric Research Agendas is described.
