    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Imperative to producing research outcomes is developing a research. While this term is used extensively, little research has been conducted to determine its key characteristics. In a survey study with researchers at Australian universities, the key features of an enabling research culture were found to be: an environment characterised by research productivity, positive collegial relationships, inclusivity, non-competitiveness and effective research processes and training [1]. Building on personal experience and reflection, the question explored in this narrative paper is how these characteristics can be promoted in the clinical arena to establish an enabling environment for conducting research and translating research findings. Narrative inquiry gives meaning to the storyteller and people who read the story.
