Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Clinical Nurse Specialist Practice
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Clinical nurse specialists (CNS) play a vital role in evidence-based practice.
  • Understanding CNS involvement in research is crucial for advancing nursing science.
  • This study addresses the need to characterize CNS engagement in research activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of clinical nurse specialists (CNS).
  • To assess CNS interest, confidence, motivators, and barriers in conducting research.
  • To identify factors influencing CNS participation in research over time.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, multicohort study design was employed.
  • Anonymous surveys were administered electronically to CNSs across three time points over three years.
  • Comparative analyses utilized chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Main Results:

  • Out of 2052 responders, 41.7% were involved as principal or coinvestigators in research.
  • Interest in conducting nursing research varied significantly over time, peaking at the 3-year mark.
  • Access to literature/mentors and research knowledge were identified as primary barriers, with no significant changes across time periods.

Conclusions:

  • Research conduct among CNSs remained below 42% and did not significantly change over the study period.
  • Prominent barriers to research include limited access to resources and knowledge gaps.
  • Enhancing workplace support and academic educational opportunities is recommended to increase CNS research engagement.
