Research is essential in nursing to augment the existing knowledge foundation underpinning the field, from education through practice and administration. To date, few studies have explored this topic in Jordan or the broader Middle Eastern region, and this study addresses this important gap.
The objective of the current study was thus to examine the perspectives of Jordanian nurses concerning the practice of nursing research.
In a cross-sectional descriptive study, 220 nurses from public, private, and academic institutions in Jordan were approached using a convenience sampling to complete the Boothe Attitudes Toward Nursing Research Scale.
The results showed that the overall mean score of all Boothe subscales was 3.289, SD = 0.968, reflecting practitioners' uncertainty as a cohort in their attitudes toward research. Nurses exhibited somewhat favorable attitudes regarding the incentives and benefits associated with conducting nursing research, however (mean = 3.439, SD = 1.038). Statistically significant effects were also seen for participants' level of education ( (2,218) = 39.993, < 0.000), their personal interest in research ( (2,218) = 26.251, < 0.000), and whether they received an incentive for doing studies.
This study suggests that if hospital administrators work to collaborate with the academic institution to advance and facilitate higher education, they can improve patient outcomes by ensuring that more nursing practices are safe and evidence-based.
在护理领域，研究对于扩充支撑该领域从教育到实践及管理的现有知识基础至关重要。迄今为止，在约旦或更广泛的中东地区，很少有研究探讨这一主题，而本研究填补了这一重要空白。
因此，本研究的目的是考察约旦护士对护理研究实践的看法。
在一项横断面描述性研究中，采用便利抽样法，对约旦公立、私立和学术机构的220名护士进行调查，以完成布思护理研究态度量表。
结果显示，所有布思子量表的总体平均分为3.289，标准差=0.968，反映出从业者作为一个群体对研究态度的不确定性。然而，护士们对开展护理研究相关的激励措施和益处表现出了一定程度的积极态度（平均分=3.439，标准差=1.038）。参与者的教育水平（F(2,218)=39.993，P<0.000）、他们对研究的个人兴趣（F(2,218)=26.251，P<0.000）以及他们是否因进行研究而获得激励，在统计学上也有显著影响。
本研究表明，如果医院管理人员努力与学术机构合作以推进和促进高等教育，他们可以通过确保更多护理实践安全且基于证据来改善患者结局。
