Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Research Utilization

Background:

  • The nursing profession acknowledges research as fundamental for advancement.
  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) emphasizes integrating research into clinical decision-making.
  • Identifying barriers to research utilization in nursing practice is essential for improving EBP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and categorize barriers perceived by registered nurses that hinder the use of research evidence in their practice.
  • To determine the relative importance of these barriers within an Australian hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative study employing factor analysis procedures.
  • Data collected from 400 registered nurses in an Australian hospital.

Main Results:

  • Four primary factors emerged as barriers: accessibility of research findings, anticipated outcomes of research use, organizational support for research utilization, and social support for research use.
  • Organizational support was identified as the most significant barrier.
  • Providing dedicated time for nurses to use and conduct research emerged as a critical component of organizational support.

Conclusions:

  • Organizational factors, particularly time allocation for research, are the most substantial impediments to nurses using research evidence.
  • Enhancing organizational support is paramount to facilitating the integration of research into nursing practice and advancing evidence-based practice.
