Abstract
<p>This article explores the importance of strong epistemological and ontological links in nursing research by examining the design and process of a recent research project.</p>
<p>The research topic concerns the relationship between self-concept and nursing practice. In this article, the authors demonstrate that commitment to a methodologically consistent process and the necessary associated epistemological and ontological positions provides a depth and structure to nursing research.</p>
<p>It is the authors' belief that such consistency within research acts to strengthen the research process, and consequently strengthens nursing's research base and knowledge.</p>
