Background Clinical nurses have multiple challenges in conducting high-quality nursing research to inform practice. Theoretically, the development of a community of practice on nursing research centered on the concept of hope is an approach that may address some of the challenges. Purpose This article describes the delivery and evaluation of a hope research community of practice (HRCoP) approach to facilitate research expertise in a group of advanced practice nurses in one hospital. It addressed the question: Does the establishment of a HRCoP for master's prepared nurses increase their confidence and competence in leading nursing research? Method Using interpretive descriptive qualitative research methodology, five participants were interviewed about their experiences within the HRCoP and facilitators engaged in participant observation. Results At 13 months, only four of the original seven participants remained in the HRCoP. While all participants discussed positive impacts of participation, they identified challenges of having protected time to complete their individual research projects, despite having administrative support to do so. Progress on individual research projects varied. Conclusion Nurse-led research remains a challenge for practicing nurses despite participating in an evidence-based HRCoP. Lessons learned from this project can be useful to other academic clinical partnerships.
背景 临床护士在开展高质量护理研究以指导实践方面面临多重挑战。从理论上讲，以希望概念为核心建立护理研究实践社区是一种可能应对部分挑战的方法。目的 本文描述了一种希望研究实践社区（HRCoP）方法的实施与评估，该方法旨在提升一家医院中一组高级实践护士的研究专业能力。它探讨了以下问题：为拥有硕士学位的护士建立HRCoP是否能增强他们开展护理研究的信心和能力？方法 采用解释性描述性定性研究方法，对五名参与者就他们在HRCoP中的经历进行了访谈，并让协调人参与了参与观察。结果 在13个月时，最初的七名参与者中只有四名仍留在HRCoP。尽管所有参与者都讨论了参与的积极影响，但他们指出，尽管有行政支持，仍难以抽出专门时间来完成各自的研究项目。各个研究项目的进展情况各不相同。结论 尽管参与了基于证据的HRCoP，但护士主导的研究对执业护士来说仍是一项挑战。从该项目中吸取的经验教训可能对其他学术临床合作伙伴关系有用。
