Summary

Understanding nurses' research utilization is key. A study found that a positive attitude toward research, belief suspension, and attending in-services significantly influence nurses' use of research findings in practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Health Services Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Knowledge on factors influencing nurses' research utilization remains underdeveloped despite extensive investigation.
  • Existing research has not sufficiently identified key determinants for increasing research use in nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test structural equation models identifying individual factors that influence nurses' research utilization.
  • To provide empirical evidence on the determinants of research utilization in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Development and testing of structural equation models using maximum likelihood estimation.
  • Assessment of model fit using chi-square, adjusted goodness of fit index, and standardized residuals.
  • Analysis of 26 individual concepts influencing research utilization.

Main Results:

  • A simple model identified three significant factors influencing research utilization: positive attitude toward research, belief suspension, and attendance at in-service programs.
  • These three factors directly impacted the extent to which nurses utilized research findings.

Conclusions:

  • The descriptive research on determinants of research utilization in nursing is still underdeveloped.
  • Identifying key influencing factors is crucial for designing effective strategies to enhance research uptake in nursing practice.
