The aim of this study was to determine clinical nurses' interest in and motivation for research. An additional aim was to identify management and organisational resources in order to improve nurses' research capacity in practice.
Clinical nurses find conducting research challenging, which accords with observations of the continuing research-practice gap.
This descriptive cross-sectional survey sampled 364 clinical nurses from a university hospital on the west coast of Norway.
The response rate was 61%. An increasingly positive attitude towards research emerged (40%), despite the fact that few were engaged in research-based activities. Clinical nurses emphasised that lack of designated time (60%), interest (31%) and knowledge (31%) constituted important research barriers, as did lack of research supervision and support (25%). Research supervision was one of the most significant needs to enhance clinical nurses' research skills, management and organisation of research activities (30%).
Conscious efforts strategically built on clinical and academic collaborative networks are required to promote and sustain clinical nurses' research capacity.
The findings of this survey should be useful in the building of clinical nurses' research capacity.
本研究旨在确定临床护士对研究的兴趣和动机。另一个目的是确定管理和组织资源，以提高护士在实践中的研究能力。
临床护士发现进行研究具有挑战性，这与持续存在的研究-实践差距的观察结果一致。
这项描述性的横断面调查从挪威西海岸的一家大学医院抽取了 364 名临床护士作为样本。
回复率为 61%。尽管很少有人从事基于研究的活动，但对研究的态度越来越积极（40%）。临床护士强调，缺乏指定的时间（60%）、兴趣（31%）和知识（31%）是重要的研究障碍，缺乏研究监督和支持（25%）也是障碍之一。研究监督是提高临床护士研究技能、管理和组织研究活动（30%）的最重要需求之一。
需要有策略地在临床和学术合作网络的基础上做出有意识的努力，以促进和维持临床护士的研究能力。
本调查的结果对于建立临床护士的研究能力将是有用的。
