The study purpose was to identify how members of the Air & Surface Transport Nurses Association (ASTNA), formerly called the National Flight Nurses Association, use research in their flight nursing practice.
A survey was mailed to each ASTNA member requesting demographic data and a description of research activities used in their practice of flight nursing.
Thirty percent of the 1643 members (n = 497) completed the survey. Sixty-four percent (320) of respondents were direct patient care providers, and 47% were certified flight registered nurses (CFRN). Thirteen percent (65) reported that research was mandated in their job description. Sixty-three percent (315) used research to guide practice, and 37% (183) incorporated research into policies and procedures. Thirty percent (149) actively conducted some type of research, 15% (76) presented at national conferences, and 11% (53) published in professional journals.
Components of the ASTNA research standard are being met by most flight nurses. However, only a small percentage of these nurses are designing and conducting studies and formally disseminating their research findings. Flight nurses are involved in research, but their overall participation could be improved.
本研究目的是确定空中与地面运输护士协会（ASTNA，前身为国家飞行护士协会）的成员如何在飞行护理实践中运用研究成果。
向每位ASTNA成员邮寄了一份调查问卷，询问人口统计学数据以及他们在飞行护理实践中所采用的研究活动描述。
1643名成员中的30%（n = 497）完成了调查。64%（320）的受访者是直接为患者提供护理的人员，47%是获得认证的飞行注册护士（CFRN）。13%（65）报告称其工作描述中规定了研究任务。63%（315）的人利用研究来指导实践，37%（183）将研究纳入政策和程序。30%（149）的人积极开展某种类型的研究，15%（76）在全国性会议上发表报告，11%（53）在专业期刊上发表文章。
大多数飞行护士达到了ASTNA研究标准的各项要求。然而，这些护士中只有一小部分在设计和开展研究并正式传播他们的研究结果。飞行护士参与了研究，但他们的总体参与度还有待提高。
