A sample of 543 members of Midwest Alliance in Nursing and Midwest Nursing Research Society were surveyed to identify factors encouraging and discouraging research utilization. Lack of time was the factor that most discouraged research utilization. A library containing research journals was available to most service (82 percent) and educator nurses (86 percent). Computer services were more available to educators (85 percent) than service nurses (68 percent). A research newsletter was ranked as more helpful than continuing education or computer networks for keeping abreast of research findings.
