“…Besides, those who had participated in academic conferences in the past 5 years, those who planned to improve their education in the next 5 years and those with a positive research attitude had stronger abilities for scientific research. Among them, continuing educational learning factors related to scientific research had a greater impact on the level of research competence, which was consistent with previous findings by Wang, Xie, et al (2019). These data, to some extent, affirm the significance of scientific research training in improving the research abilities of community nurses.…”

Aims This study aimed to investigate the current situation of community nurses' research competence in Shanghai, to provide a basis for curricula design for nursing schools, construction of better research environments and nurturing research talents among community nurses. Background Nurses are expected to not only consume research findings but also produce knowledge. In China, there is more attention on cultivation of community nurses' research competence. However, the current status of it remains unclear. Methods This study employed convenience sampling to recruit a total of 2562 community nurses in Shanghai from June to August 2021. The study questionnaire included personal and job‐related characteristics, research competence and barriers to nursing research practice. Pearson's χ2 tests (or Fisher exact probability method) and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyse associated factors. Results Our data showed that the overall research competence was 38.00 (28.00, 60.00) (best possible score, 120), which was at a low level. The binary logistic regression analysis results showed that nurses at the vice‐senior level and above, those without management roles or those who had research education/training experience had a higher level of research competence (p < .05). Besides, a higher level of research competence was also seen in nurses who had attended academic conferences above the municipal level in the last 5 years, those with plans to upgrade educational levels or those who had positive attitude towards research (p < .05). Our analysis demonstrated that limited English proficiency, data analysis and thesis writing, and lack of up‐to‐date research information and research mentors were the main barriers to effective community research practice. Conclusions Our analysis showed that most of the community nurses had high demand for research training courses. Their research competence should be improved. In nursing educational and professional context, nursing administrators should pay more attention to provision of better learning, working and research environments. Implications for Nursing Management Nursing administrators should establish a community nursing research culture, develop continuous training on research and prioritize recruitment and cultivation of scientific research talents.

“…Relevant studies showed that the Cronbach's α coe cient of the total scale is 0.861 and the Cronbach's α coe cient of each dimension is 0.655~0.760. One month later, the correlation coe cient of the total scale of test-retest reliability is 0.902 (30). In our study, the Cronbach's coe cient of this scale before and after intervention was 0.946 and 0.973, respectively.…”

“…However, their research training needs were relatively high 53.12(37.50, 75.00) (29). In our previous study, we found that 89.2% nurses had a weak research ability (30). Therefore, research training with content to tailored to individual characteristics and capacities should be provided for nurses.…”

Background: The current innovation and research ability of nurses in China is at a low to medium level. Most studies focus on nurses' innovation and research ability and the associated influencing factors, while few interventional studies have considered how to improve nurses' innovation and research ability. The aim of the study is to explore the effects of nursing innovation workshops in improving clinical nurses' innovation and research ability.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in a tertiary hospital of Guangdong. Thirty-seven recruited nurses participated in a nursing innovation workshop for half a year. Questionnaire data on nurses’ self-rated innovation ability and research ability were collected before the training and 3 months after finishing the training.Results: Nurses’ self-rated innovation ability (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 12.79 to 15.05) and research ability (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 14.39 to 19.09) improved significantly after the training.Conclusions: Nursing innovation workshops represent an effective and feasible teaching method that can promote innovative thinking and improve the innovative ability and research ability of nurses.

“…The scale was a ve-point ordinal scale (0-4) with a maximum score of 120 points; a higher score represents a higher level of research ability [33]. Relevant studies show that the scale has good reliability [34]. In our study, the Cronbach's coe cient of research ability was 0.983.…”
