To examine the engagement of French registered nurses with the Ministry of Health's initiative to spur scientific inquiry in the community.
French nursing research has suffered from a lack of dedicated funding. Positive signs of change have recently appeared, with the launch of the first national public funding programme dedicated to nursing research. This initiative, begun in 2010, was launched by the French Ministry of Health. Through this initiative, 149 registered nurses, serving as principal investigators, and their teams submitted research proposals between 2010 and 2011. The administrative guidelines of the funding programme are clearly oriented towards producing quantitative and exogenous nursing research.
A cross-sectional analysis of 149 nursing research projects submitted during the first and second years of a French national funding programme for hospital-based nursing research was conducted. Research proposals were included in the analysis whether they received funding or not. Data collection took place in 2011. The categories used in the analysis were the following: (1) the socio-demographic data on the registered nurse principal investigators, (2) the research teams and (3) the research proposals (methodologies, bibliography, focus of the research, output, the status of the research proposals).
This study highlights the presence of methodological homogeneity among the research proposals submitted for funding. Clear tendencies were towards interventional and quantitative studies and those with an exogenous factor research objective. Between 2010 and 2011, 25 projects were funded out of 149 submitted. They were mostly quantitative and/or focused on the exogenous factors in patient care.
The socio-political context of a funding programme designed to encourage nursing research has had an implicit influence on the type of research to which French nurses have committed themselves to and the scientific positions with which these nurse researchers align themselves.
考察法国注册护士参与卫生部倡议，以激发社区科学研究的情况。
法国护理研究一直缺乏专门的资金。最近出现了一些积极的变化迹象，推出了首个专门用于护理研究的国家公共资助计划。该倡议于 2010 年由法国卫生部发起。通过该倡议，149 名注册护士作为主要研究者及其团队在 2010 年至 2011 年期间提交了研究提案。资助计划的管理指南明确偏向于产生定量和外生护理研究。
对 2010 年和 2011 年法国国家医院护理研究资助计划的第一年和第二年提交的 149 个护理研究项目进行了横断面分析。无论是否获得资助，研究提案都包含在分析中。数据收集于 2011 年进行。分析中使用的类别如下：（1）主要研究者的注册护士的社会人口统计学数据，（2）研究团队和（3）研究提案（方法、参考文献、研究重点、产出、研究提案的状况）。
本研究强调了提交供资助的研究提案中存在方法学上的同质化。明显的趋势是干预性和定量研究以及具有外生因素研究目标的研究。2010 年至 2011 年期间，提交的 149 个提案中，有 25 个获得了资助。它们主要是定量的和/或侧重于患者护理的外生因素。
旨在鼓励护理研究的资助计划的社会政治背景对法国护士所从事的研究类型以及这些护士研究人员所认同的科学立场产生了隐含影响。
