As Canadian health systems transform to meet changing needs, grounding nursing practice in evidence remains an essential goal for providing safe, high-quality care. nursing research facilitators (NRFs) are strengthening the use of evidence in nursing practice across the province of British Columbia. NRFs are nurses with a research background, whose work is focused on supporting people within health systems to use and do research in their practice and decision-making. Since this role was established in 2009, NRFs have provided facilitative support to over 50 funded research projects, led numerous workshops and journal clubs, and conducted more than 600 research-related consultations. In this paper, we discuss the role and offer exemplars of creative ways in which NRFs are strengthening nurses' engagement in doing and using research by developing capacity for research and evidence-informed practice, building meaningful partnerships and cultivating a culture of curiosity among nurses and other healthcare providers. We reflect on factors contributing to the success of this role and some of the challenges of integration. The paper concludes with a comment on the strategic value of the role.
随着加拿大医疗系统进行变革以满足不断变化的需求，将护理实践建立在证据基础上仍然是提供安全、高质量护理的一个基本目标。护理研究促进者（NRFs）正在加强不列颠哥伦比亚省全省护理实践中对证据的运用。NRFs是具有研究背景的护士，他们的工作重点是支持医疗系统中的人员在其实践和决策中运用研究并开展研究。自2009年设立这一角色以来，NRFs已为50多个获得资助的研究项目提供了促进性支持，举办了众多研讨会和期刊俱乐部，并进行了600多次与研究相关的咨询。在本文中，我们讨论了NRFs的角色，并提供了一些实例，展示了NRFs通过培养研究能力和循证实践能力、建立有意义的伙伴关系以及在护士和其他医疗服务提供者中培育好奇心文化，来加强护士参与开展和运用研究的创新方式。我们思考了促成这一角色成功的因素以及整合过程中的一些挑战。本文最后对该角色的战略价值进行了评论。
