Although the number of studies on research utilization is steadily growing, there are only a few specialty-specific studies.
This study focuses on medical and surgical nurses. It compares their reported use of research utilization and their perceptions of barriers and obstacles.
A convenient sample of 210 medical nurses and 269 surgical nurses, from 10 general hospitals in 14 Trusts in Northern Ireland (NI), was surveyed.
The results showed that the reported extent of research utilization was high, with less than 10% in each group reporting never/seldom using research. The reported difference between the medical and surgical nurses was very small, with medical nurses reporting a slightly higher rate of utilization. However, this was not statistically significant at 5% level.
The Barriers Scale (Funk et al. 1991a) used in this study to assess their perceptions of barriers and facilitators revealed a similar picture for both groups. The top two barriers were "Management will not allow implementation" and "The nurse does not feel she/he has enough authority to change patient care procedures". These findings, as well as the need to take research utilization studies further, are discussed.
尽管关于研究应用的研究数量在稳步增长，但针对特定专业的研究却寥寥无几。
本研究聚焦于内科和外科护士。比较他们报告的研究应用情况以及对障碍和阻碍的认知。
对来自北爱尔兰（NI）14个信托基金旗下10家综合医院的210名内科护士和269名外科护士进行了便利抽样调查。
结果显示，报告的研究应用程度较高，每组中报告从未/很少使用研究的比例不到10%。内科护士和外科护士报告的差异非常小，内科护士的应用率略高。然而，在5%的水平上，这一差异无统计学意义。
本研究中用于评估他们对障碍和促进因素认知的障碍量表（Funk等人，1991a）显示两组情况相似。排在前两位的障碍是“管理层不允许实施”和“护士觉得自己没有足够的权力改变患者护理程序”。本文讨论了这些研究结果以及进一步开展研究应用研究的必要性。
