Clinical research provides evidence to underpin and inform advancements in the quality of care, services and treatments. Primary care research enables the general patient population access and opportunities to engage in research studies. Nurses play an integral role in supporting the delivery of primary care research, but there is limited understanding of nurses' experiences of this role and how they can be supported to facilitate the delivery of research.
To explore the experiences of nurses delivering research studies in primary care settings.
We identified studies published between 2002 and June 2021 from key electronic databases. A two-level inclusion/exclusion and arbitration process was conducted based on study selection criteria. Data extraction and quality appraisal were performed simultaneously. Data were analysed in the form of a narrative synthesis.
The key themes identified included: (1) what nurses value about primary care research and their motivations for study engagement, (2) the role of nurses in research, (3) working with research teams, (4) study training, (5) eligibility screening, data collection and study documentation, (6) nurse/participant dynamic, (7) gatekeeping, (8) relationships with colleagues and impact on recruitment, (9) time constraints and workload demands, and (10) health and safety.
Nurses are integral to the delivery of research studies in primary care settings. The review highlights the importance of good communication by study teams, timely and study-specific training, and support from colleagues to enable nurses to effectively deliver research in primary care.
临床研究为改善医疗质量、服务和治疗提供了证据支持和信息。初级保健研究使普通患者能够获得并有机会参与研究。护士在支持初级保健研究的实施中发挥着不可或缺的作用，但对护士在这一角色中的体验以及如何支持他们促进研究的实施知之甚少。
探讨护士在初级保健环境中开展研究的经验。
我们从主要电子数据库中确定了 2002 年至 2021 年 6 月期间发表的研究。根据研究选择标准，进行了两级包括/排除和仲裁过程。同时进行数据提取和质量评估。数据以叙述性综合的形式进行分析。
确定的主要主题包括：（1）护士对初级保健研究的重视以及他们参与研究的动机，（2）护士在研究中的作用，（3）与研究团队合作，（4）研究培训，（5）资格筛选、数据收集和研究文件，（6）护士/参与者动态，（7）把关，（8）与同事的关系及其对招募的影响，（9）时间限制和工作量需求，以及（10）健康和安全。
护士是初级保健环境中研究实施不可或缺的一部分。本综述强调了研究团队良好沟通、及时和具体研究培训以及同事支持的重要性，以帮助护士在初级保健中有效地开展研究。
