Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Research
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Nursing research has advanced globally, but a gap persists between research and clinical practice.
  • Practising nurses often feel remote from the intellectual engagement of a research-driven profession.
  • Dissemination of nursing research findings faces challenges, potentially hindering knowledge integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine challenges in developing nursing research and its relevance to practising nurses.
  • To explore barriers to research dissemination and knowledge sharing in nursing.
  • To propose strategies for enhancing the integration of research into nursing practice and education.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the current state of nursing research development and publication.
  • Examination of the presentation of research reports and their accessibility to practising nurses.
  • Argumentative review of educational and practical approaches to foster research engagement.

Main Results:

  • Despite progress, practising nurses remain largely detached from the intellectual aspects of nursing research.
  • Variations in research report presentation may discourage practising nurses from engaging with research findings.
  • A disconnect exists between research output and its practical application and understanding by nurses.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing research must be made more relevant and accessible to practising nurses.
  • Integrating research education into basic nursing curricula is essential.
  • Encouraging clinical research is vital to demonstrate research utility and bridge the research-practice gap.
