The aim of this study was to explore practising nurses' views on factors which they perceived constrained them from research participation.
Many studies reviewed in the literature have taken a quantitative approach and have concentrated on why nurses do not use research findings in their practice. Of these studies a few included constraints to research use. However, with the development of national research strategies for nursing and the drive for the profession to develop its own research base, there is a need to understand what constrains clinically practising nurses from taking up opportunities to either develop their own research or participate in research studies.
Data were collected during June and July 2004 by means of two focus groups (n=7) followed by single interviews (n=7). Analysis was undertaken using a thematic approach aided by N-Vivo 2.0.
In this study, findings revealed six key themes perceived by nurses to constrain from research participation: 'Level of support nurses require to be research active', 'Nurses' attitudes to undertaking/participating in research', 'The extent of nurses knowledge about research', 'Skills to undertake research' and 'Level of educational preparation relating to undertaking/participating in research'.
In this study, nurses were generally receptive to participating in research. However, they felt constrained because of lack of time, lack of peer support and limited knowledge and skills of the research process.
What is already known on this topic: studies into nurses and research have predominantly taken a quantitative approach; many studies have aimed to elicit the extent of nurses' use of research findings.
this study adds a qualitative perspective; although findings are not generalizable, they support quantitative study findings into this subject; identifies constraints that require to be overcome for practising nurses to actively get involved in research studies.
本研究旨在探讨执业护士对那些他们认为阻碍其参与研究的因素的看法。
文献中回顾的许多研究采用了定量方法，并且集中于护士为何不在实践中运用研究结果。在这些研究中，少数研究涉及了研究运用的限制因素。然而，随着国家护理研究战略的发展以及该行业建立自身研究基础的推动，有必要了解是什么阻碍临床执业护士抓住机会开展自己的研究或参与研究项目。
2004年6月和7月期间，通过两个焦点小组（n = 7）随后进行个别访谈（n = 7）收集数据。采用主题分析法并借助N - Vivo 2.0进行分析。
在本研究中，结果揭示了护士认为阻碍参与研究的六个关键主题：“护士积极参与研究所需的支持水平”、“护士对开展/参与研究的态度”、“护士对研究的了解程度”、“开展研究的技能”以及“与开展/参与研究相关的教育准备水平”。
在本研究中，护士总体上愿意参与研究。然而，他们感到受限是因为时间不足、缺乏同行支持以及对研究过程的知识和技能有限。
关于该主题已有的了解：对护士与研究的研究主要采用定量方法；许多研究旨在了解护士运用研究结果的程度。
本研究增加了定性视角；尽管研究结果不可推广，但它们支持了关于该主题的定量研究结果；确定了执业护士积极参与研究项目需要克服的限制因素。
