PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To identify nursing staff members' current research-related activities, knowledge of research utilization, and perceived barriers to using research in practice.
Descriptive, cross-sectional survey design with self-report questionnaires.
National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center located in a mid-Atlantic metropolitan area.
Convenience sample of 82 registered nurses employed in the cancer center who completed and returned the questionnaire; the majority had baccalaureate degrees or higher, were an average of 33 years old, were nurses for a mean of 8.8 years, and worked at the center a mean of 5.6 years.
Four-part, 38-item, self-report questionnaires were distributed to nursing staff and a leadership group by members of the departmental Nursing Research Committee; respondents returned completed questionnaires to designated locations in the center.
Knowledge and attitudes about research utilization, perceived barriers to using research in practice, and current research-related activities.
Most respondents were familiar with the concept of research utilization and found research to be of value to their practice. They cited a number of barriers to using research findings and reported little participation in research-related activities. Advanced clinical practitioners with master's degrees tended to participate more frequently in research-related activities.
Although nurses appeared to be aware of research utilization and value it, they perceived barriers to using research findings in practice and did not routinely participate in research-related activities. The findings support other research in this area and reveal educational needs.
The findings provided baseline information for a departmental research utilization program and suggested strategies and activities that could be incorporated into the program.
目的/目标：确定护理人员当前与研究相关的活动、研究应用知识以及在实践中应用研究的感知障碍。
采用自我报告问卷的描述性横断面调查设计。
位于大西洋中部大都市地区的国立癌症研究所指定的综合癌症中心。
癌症中心82名注册护士的便利样本，他们完成并返还了问卷；大多数人拥有学士学位或更高学历，平均年龄33岁，平均从事护理工作8.8年，在该中心平均工作5.6年。
由部门护理研究委员会成员向护理人员和一个领导团队发放包含38个条目的四部分自我报告问卷；受访者将填好的问卷返还至中心的指定地点。
关于研究应用的知识和态度、在实践中应用研究的感知障碍以及当前与研究相关的活动。
大多数受访者熟悉研究应用的概念，并认为研究对他们的实践有价值。他们列举了一些应用研究结果的障碍，并表示很少参与与研究相关的活动。拥有硕士学位的高级临床从业者往往更频繁地参与与研究相关的活动。
尽管护士似乎意识到研究应用并重视它，但他们在实践中感知到应用研究结果的障碍，并且没有常规参与与研究相关的活动。这些发现支持了该领域的其他研究，并揭示了教育需求。
这些发现为部门研究应用项目提供了基线信息，并提出了可纳入该项目的策略和活动。
