Perfil acadêmico, crenças e autoeficácia em pesquisa de enfermeiros clínicos: implicações para o Programa de Pesquisa de Enfermagem de um Hospital na Jornada Magnet®

Abstract

Objective:To describe the academic profile, research experience, beliefs, and self-efficacy in research of clinical nurses in a Magnet Journey™ hospital.Methods:Quantitative descriptive designed to assess research experience of clinical nurses. The survey was divided into demographics characteristics; scientific/academic profile (Nursing degree; membership in academic research groups, involvement in papers, teaching activities, scientific conferences, and posters presented); beliefs related to nursing research (about skills, benefits to career, reputation of institution, patient care; job satisfaction level); and Research Self-Efficacy (conducting literature review; evaluating quality of studies; using theory; understanding evidence; and scientific writing: putting ideas on paper easily; recognize and adapt the text to the reader; write to the standards required by science; write with objectivity, logical sequence, coherence, simplicity, clarity, and precision; insert the references in the text correctly; write the references appropriately; use correct spelling and grammar; write texts in English).Results:Most clinical nurses had low research experience, yet had positive beliefs in and perception of well-developed research skills.Conclusion:Our findings should contribute to the preparation of research programs aimed at facilitating the engagement of clinical nurses in the development of scientific projects.

Nurse leaders’ Attitudes, Self-Efficacy and training Needs for Implementing Evidence-Based Practice: Is It Time for a Change toward Safe Care?

“…According to Breimaier et al [ 33 ] nurses had unfavorable attitudes toward EBP, almost half of the nurses disagreed with changing nursing profession to a evidence-based profession, and 60% believed that research activities should not be considered in evaluating the performance of nurses and promotions to senior posts. Several studies in recent years have reported positive changes in both practitioners' and leaders' attitudes toward EBP [ 34 , 35 ]. This difference in the present result might be due to the reason that the existing organizational structure and culture have created barriers such as lack of time, unbalanced nurse– patient ratios, and lack of autonomy for changing practice of nurses [ 22 ].…”

“…One of the concerns of this study was the low self-efficacy levels expressed by the nurse leaders for engagement in EBP activities, which are not appropriate for EBP progress at all. Several studies have reported that self-efficacy is a modifiable factor that has a strong relationship with greater acceptance and use of all EBP activities [ 1 , 7 , 37 ] by ameliorating the inhibiting lack of confidence in EBP implementation [ 22 , 34 ].…”

International Perspectivesof Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals Clinical Academic Roles: Are We at Tipping Point?

“…There is evidence of a research training pathway being available. Within the USA, a large number of hospitals aspire to the attainment of MAGNET accreditation (Jamerson et al, 2011;Leao et al, 2013). Within the MAGNET framework, research and provision of evidence-based care is fundamental to attain MAGNET accreditation status.…”

Nurse researchers and nursing assistants: construction and projection of polymorphous identities

“…The polymorphic character rests, in this sense, on the ability to assume different facets for the construction of a meaning or projection of perception. For the phenomenon in question, polymorphous identity is based on the psychological and sociocultural dimensions of knowledge, which together form the organic sense of otherness (5)(6)(7) , thus substantiating the importance of considering experiences, beliefs, meanings and contexts with which nurses conceive the practice and consumption of research, as well as the researcher's role in nursing in order to develop strategies that are favorable to the connections between research and the care dimension (8)(9) .…”

“…In this sense, among the factors that can influence nursing research consumption are the systems of meanings that nurses attribute to scientific practice, as well as the inherence of research products to their work process (8) . However, these meanings may have, as support, the quality of the interactions established between the nurse practitioner and the nurse researcher and, in parallel, the visibility and importance they attribute to one another in the process of producing and consuming research.…”
