UK community nurses face significant barriers in applying research to practice, primarily due to a lack of authority and difficulty accessing research. Collaboration is key to overcoming these obstacles for evidence-based nursing.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Research Implementation

Background:

  • Implementing research findings into clinical practice is crucial for evidence-based healthcare.
  • Understanding barriers faced by community nurses is essential for improving research utilization.
  • Previous studies, such as Funk and Champagne (1991), have identified barriers in different healthcare contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and rank perceived barriers to the implementation of research findings in UK community nursing practice.
  • To compare the perceptions of UK community nurses with those reported in a US study.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was administered to community nurse students.
  • A validated scale developed by Funk and Champagne (1991) was used.

  • Participants ranked perceived barriers from most to least obstructive.

    • Main Results:

    • The primary barriers identified by UK nurses were lack of authority and inaccessibility of research reports.
    • These findings align with some barriers identified in the US study by Funk and Champagne (1991).

    Conclusions:

    • Lack of authority and poor access to research are significant impediments to evidence-based practice in community nursing.
    • Effective implementation requires collaborative efforts between healthcare managers, academics, and practitioners.
    • Addressing these barriers can enhance the integration of research into nursing practice.
