This paper is a report of a systematic review describing instruments used to measure nurses' attitudes towards research utilization.
Researchers need to have the tools to measure nurses' attitudes. However, limited literature critically analyses instruments and the concepts that comprise nurses' attitudes towards research utilization.
A search of the literature from 1982 to 2007 was performed using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, PubMed and MEDLINE data bases. The search terms were nursing research, research utilization, instruments, and nurses' attitudes. A total of 186 sources were identified, of which 25 were reviewed.
Fourteen instruments met the criteria for in-depth critical analysis of psychometric properties and concepts, and were included in the final review. Each instrument item was judged to be relevant to direct, indirect, persuasive and overall research utilization as defined by Estabrooks. Instruments were arranged from the strongest to the weakest reliability of the subscales to determine the instrument with the strongest psychometric properties.
Indirect and overall research utilization was measured by all of the instruments. Ten instruments measured direct research utilization and nine instruments measured persuasive research utilization. The Research Utilization in Nursing Survey by Estabrooks, as adapted by Kenny, was an instrument with strong psychometric properties measuring all four concepts of nurses' attitudes towards using and participating in research and was clinically feasible.
Many published instruments are available for use by nurse researchers to measure nurses' attitude towards research utilization, but only one has been subjected to rigorous testing: the Research Utilization in Nursing Survey by Estabrooks.
本文是一项系统评价报告，描述了用于测量护士对研究应用态度的工具。
研究人员需要有工具来测量护士的态度。然而，仅有有限的文献对构成护士对研究应用态度的工具和概念进行了批判性分析。
使用护理学与健康相关学科累积索引、健康与心理社会测量工具、PubMed和MEDLINE数据库，检索了1982年至2007年的文献。检索词为护理研究、研究应用、工具和护士态度。共识别出186篇文献，其中25篇进行了综述。
14种工具符合对心理测量特性和概念进行深入批判性分析的标准，被纳入最终综述。根据Estabrooks的定义，判断每个工具项目与直接、间接、说服性和总体研究应用相关。按照分量表信度从强到弱对工具进行排列，以确定心理测量特性最强的工具。
所有工具都测量了间接和总体研究应用。10种工具测量了直接研究应用，9种工具测量了说服性研究应用。Estabrooks编制、经Kenny改编的《护理研究应用调查》是一种心理测量特性较强的工具，测量了护士对使用和参与研究的所有四个态度概念，且在临床上可行。
护士研究人员有许多已发表的工具可用于测量护士对研究应用的态度，但只有一种工具经过了严格测试：Estabrooks的《护理研究应用调查》。
