Abstract

Registered nurses have a professional responsibility to disseminate knowledge that advances the field of nursing. This article reviews the main components of an abstract for research, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice studies, and offers guidance in writing high-quality abstracts that support this goal. An abstract is a clear and concise summary that highlights the importance of the work while following submission guidelines. Adherence to these guiding principles enables nephrology nurses and other health care professionals to foster a culture of inquiry among their peers, thereby promoting comprehensive engagement with research findings and facilitating the integration of emerging knowledge into clinical practice.
