This study describes staff nurses' perceptions of hospital support for research and their expectations for research; and relationships between organizational factors, individual factors, and staff nurses' use of research. These factors were compared for groups of nurses by education level and hospital size. Stratified random sampling of 450 nurses was obtained from a provincial nurses' association. The mailed survey was completed by 183 nurses. Use of specific research findings was related to organizational factors and was congruent with earlier studies. Nurses' perceptions of their general use of research were related to individual characteristics such as interest in research and expectations to use research, which scored high regardless of educational level. Nurses' perceptions of organizational support and expectations differed significantly according to hospital size. This study suggests that the organizational context is influential, but nurses' value of, interest in, and expectations to use research may mediate this influence. Enhancing research-based practice will require attention to the organizational context of practice.
本研究描述了注册护士对医院研究支持的看法及其对研究的期望；以及组织因素、个体因素与注册护士研究应用之间的关系。按教育水平和医院规模对护士群体的这些因素进行了比较。从省级护士协会中进行分层随机抽样选取了450名护士。183名护士完成了邮寄调查。特定研究结果的应用与组织因素相关，且与早期研究一致。护士对其总体研究应用的看法与个体特征有关，如对研究的兴趣和应用研究的期望，无论教育水平如何，这些得分都很高。护士对组织支持的看法和期望因医院规模而异。本研究表明，组织环境具有影响力，但护士对研究的重视、兴趣和应用期望可能会调节这种影响。加强循证实践将需要关注实践的组织环境。
