Clinical nurses widely adopted research-based nursing practices, with awareness of most innovations. Organizational support, like hospital policies, may influence the use of these evidence-based practices.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Innovation
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Adoption of research-based nursing practices is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • Understanding factors influencing nurse adoption of innovations is essential for effective knowledge translation.
  • Organizational support, including hospital policies, may play a role in the implementation of new nursing practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the extent of clinical nurses' adoption of 14 research-based nursing practices.
  • To explore nurse characteristics influencing the use of innovative nursing practices.
  • To investigate the relationship between nurses' adoption of innovative practices and perceived organizational support.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Nursing Practice Questionnaire (NPQ) developed by Brett (1987).

  • Surveyed a random sample of 113 clinical nurses across 10 medium-sized hospitals in North Carolina.
  • Practices studied met criteria from the 1982 Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing (CURN) Project.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses demonstrated awareness of 9 out of 14 research-based nursing practices, with awareness percentages ranging from 28% to 93.8%.
    • Eight of the 14 practices were regularly used by over half of the surveyed nurses.
    • The study explored nurse characteristics and the impact of hospital policies on practice adoption.

    Conclusions:

    • A majority of clinical nurses are aware of and regularly use several research-based nursing practices.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the influence of nurse characteristics and organizational support on innovation adoption.
    • Findings suggest a foundation for improving the implementation of evidence-based practices in clinical settings.
