Aim:
To explore the medium-term to long-term implementation and outcomes of the Nursing Research Challenge (NRC) in a Magnet® designated university hospital.
Background:
Research-driven culture advances nursing practice, yet structured, impactful initiatives in European hospitals are scarce.
Methods:
A longitudinal study (2023-2025) in a private Magnet® tertiary hospital applied the Joanna Briggs Institute framework and RE-AIM model. Research capacity was assessed at T0, T1, and T2 using the validated Nursing Research Questionnaire.
Results:
Of 515 nurses completing the Nursing Research Questionnaire (T0=116; T1=127; T2=272), significant gains occurred in knowledge (+1.48) and resource use (+0.83) (P<0.001). Research use in decision-making and scholarly activity increased; attitudes improved modestly. Satisfaction was high (4.6/5). Nurses with master's/doctoral degrees rose from 38% to 54%.
Conclusions:
The NRC enhanced research capacity and engagement. Success factors were baseline assessment, strategic alignment, leadership, and infrastructure. The scalable model supports global adoption of a research-oriented nursing culture.
