Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • A persistent gap exists between scientific research findings and clinical nursing practice.
  • This research-practice gap is particularly pronounced in South Africa, exacerbated by inadequate research infrastructure and limited research utilization within nursing education programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the complex influences affecting the integration of research into nursing practice.
  • To examine conceptual, empirical, and pragmatic issues related to bridging the research-practice divide.
  • To address challenges in translating research-based knowledge into innovative nursing practice protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of research-practice gap issues.
  • Exploration of empirical evidence on research integration.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of pragmatic considerations for knowledge transfer.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified significant barriers in South African nursing education, including lack of research facilities and utilization projects.
    • Highlighted the complexity of factors influencing research adoption in practice.
    • Addressed the process of transferring research findings into practical nursing protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the research-practice gap requires tackling conceptual, empirical, and pragmatic challenges.
    • Strengthening nursing education programs with research facilities and utilization projects is crucial.
    • Effective knowledge transfer mechanisms are needed to translate research into improved nursing practice.
