[Barriers in implementing innovative nursing research concepts. Results of a study].

The question of knowledge transfer into the practice of nursing is gaining more and more importance due to the urgently required innovations for the practice-last but not least also the question of the barriers of transforming them: Beginning with the problem of what shall be definitely determined as theory and what as practice, or possible transport damages, which knowledge suffers from in the process of transforming scientific findings into action recommendations that are usable in nursing practice with inclusion of the barriers with which those pragmatists have to struggle who wish to transform theoretical knowledge into institutions-disturbing factors wait everywhere: simple linear ideas of transformability of theoretical knowledge are not appropriate. Looking at the example of participants of a training course for "specialized nurses for geriatric medicine and rehabilitation" the authors investigated transformation barriers in the knowledge transfer on innovative nursing concepts and developed plans regarding transfer optimization.
