This study is aimed at presenting the epistemological aspects of the new nursing research, from a collaborative, transdisciplinary and translational perspective. A descriptive and exploratory study witha qualitative approach, held in Brazil and Portugal. The data collection included semi-structured interviews with nurse researchers from both countries, selected through the snowball technique. The criterion of data saturation by repetition of information limited research with 17 participants. We proceeded to the analysis of the content of the interviews. From this analysis emerged three premises: the need for research with a collaborative, transdisciplinary and translational approach. Nursingis going through a time of transition between traditional research and the "new search", perhaps a bit vague, but still inconsistent.
