The goal of conducting healthcare related researches is to improve
the delivery of healthcare services by implementing their evidences into
practice. Our knowledge with regard to those factors that promote or
discourage research utilization among nurses in clinical practice is limited.
The focus of the study is the identification of barriers to and facilitators
of research utilization in nursing practice from the perspective of nurses in
Suez Canal University Hospital.
A cross sectional design is used. A questionnaire incorporated 29
structured barriers to research utilization was distributed to 68 nurses.
Items> scores obtained were used for determining the questionnaires
internal consistency reliability (ICR) and construct validity, and to reflect
the degree to which the item was perceived to be a barrier to research
utilization.
Cronbach>s coefficient or (CCa) for the whole scale was 0.86, items
were found to be loaded by .47 or more on their predetermined theoretical
factors and were significantly dependent on these factors (p<0.0l). The
greatest perceived barriers to research utilization were the inadequacy of
facilities for implementation, the delay in publishing research reports, the
unclear implications of research utilization for practice. the physicians>
non-cooperation and the insufficient time to read researches. All necessary
facilitators mentioned by the nurses were related to the organizational
factors.
The tool showed a high reliability and validity estimate. Most of the
barriers and all the necessary facilitators were related to organizational
factors.
