“…The mantra of evidence-based practice in nursing and midwifery is being emphasised to facilitate improvement in health care outcomes. 6,7 Studies have shown a reduction in mortality following the implementation of interventions derived from evidence synthesis, hence, the need for a paradigm shift from traditionalbased practices to those based on research evidence in nursing and midwifery. 8 Working as a nurse or a midwife in the healthcare setting and concurrently engaging in research could be very challenging.…”

Background The utilisation of research findings in healthcare among health professionals is key for promoting patient safety and achieving quality health outcomes including that of nursing and midwifery research. However, not much is known about the challenges Ghanaian nurses and midwives face in generating evidence-based findings to inform context-specific nursing and midwifery practice. Aim Explore factors influencing nurses and midwives’ participation and research use in Ghana. Methods We employed a qualitative descriptive exploratory approach involving in-depth face-to-face interviews with 60 nurses and midwives from six regions in Ghana. Participants were selected from training institutions, hospitals and community health units. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed for analysis. Data was coded and categorised into themes and subthemes using content analysis procedures. Results Nurses’ and midwives’ role in research varied. Barriers to research participation included inadequate knowledge, lack of interest, access to research funds, time constraints and attitude of respondents. Commitment, mentoring, access to resources and prestige associated with publishing enhanced participation. Conclusion Developing nurses’ and midwives’ interest in research requires training, collaboration, access to research funds and use of research outcomes.

“…Among the different mode of educational deliveries, immersion program was found to be statistically significant among the younger nurses between 19 and 35 years old (p ⩽ 0.001). 7 From 2013 to 2015, nine workshops were conducted by Singapore General Hospital (SGH) nursing research unit in which 224 nurses were trained on EBP. Although the feedback on the workshop was good and that the nurses have gained knowledge, however the translation of knowledge to practice was poor.…”

Individual, organisational and environmental factors play an significant role in developing and promoting research utilisation among nurses. Building a strong research foundation is important for the future of nursing profession. Research utilisation among newly graduated registered nurses has been reportedly to be low in previous population-based longitudinal studies. Historically, nurses find it difficult to understand the value of a nursing research in the course of their clinical practice therefore a more creative and interactive strategies (experiential learning) are needed to make research relevant to clinical practice. This article describes the efforts of a large teaching hospital in Singapore in promoting and building research competence among nurses in the clinical care setting. An immersion program similar to a research internship offers an in-depth and experiential learning experience. It allows students to learn a new knowledge and skills by being completely immersed and engaged in the prescribed activity. The goal of the immersion program is to develop research skills through active participation in the research process and to develop novice nurses' ability to implement and evaluate evidence-based project that aimed to improve treatment outcomes of patients. An immersion program such as the one described in this article provides a strategy to promote a culture of evidence-based practice. The experiential knowledge gained through this type of program may advance the nursing profession.
