British nurses show positive attitudes towards research utilization. However, perceived lack of autonomy hinders their ability to implement research findings into practice, impacting professional status.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Low research base and utilization impede nursing's professional status.
  • Debate exists in Europe and North America regarding nurses' research-based practice.
  • This study addresses the gap in measuring research utilization among general nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review empirical studies on research utilization in nursing.
  • To report findings from a pilot study measuring research utilization among UK general nurses (F/G grade).
  • To propose a large-scale survey for generalizable data on research utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of empirical studies on research utilization.
  • Pilot study conducted in the UK among general nurses (F/G grade).

  • Data collection focused on measuring research utilization and perceived autonomy.

    • Main Results:

    • British clinical nurses exhibit a positive attitude towards research.
    • Specialist nurse advisors and protocols facilitate access to research literature.
    • Lack of perceived autonomy is the primary barrier to research utilization, with nurses feeling unable to challenge medical staff or managers.
    • Significant differences in research awareness and autonomy were observed between the two hospitals studied.

    Conclusions:

    • Positive attitudes toward research exist among British nurses.
    • Perceived autonomy is critical for effective research utilization in nursing practice.
    • Further large-scale research is needed to generalize findings and inform strategies to enhance research utilization and professional status in nursing.
