Method: Through a survey research design done on-line, about 303 nurses from different departments participated who were all working currently in one of largest government Medical Cities in Riyadh. Descriptive statistics were used including tests of association and significant differences. Results: Results showed the following basic demographic features: female-dominated aged 31-40 years old, mostly married and non-Saudi. Respondents extended the same level of moderate research utilization, and acknowledging barriers in the same. Additionally, there seemed to have statistical associations found between research barriers concept and in the following demographic characteristics: sex (p=.001), nationality (p=.001), education (p=.05), and years of experience (p=.05). Statistically significant differences in responses were found in the following when computed bivariate on research utilization: nationality (.05), and area of assignment (.05). While there were also more significant differences in responses found on research barriers; sex (p=.001), nationality (p=.001), education (p=.05), and professional role (p=.05). Conclusion: The experience of research utilization found in this Saudi Arabia medical institution was characterized by moderate level utilization with same level of recognized research barriers even during this current pandemic situation.
