“…While a lack of time was the predominant extrinsic barrier to engagement with the research process by nurses in clinical practice, a lack of access to appropriate support via research mentorship was also highlighted as an extrinsic barrier. While this was alluded to by Hagan (2018) and Ryder et al (2019), it was further examined by Brown et al (2017) in their descriptive study to explore the views of nurses towards child health research and factors influencing their willingness to facilitate this in practice, using a survey. While Brown et al (2017) similarly report time as a significant barrier, they also highlight the importance of a dedicated team to support and facilitate research by nurses in clinical practice and facilitate research culture.…”

Data sources: CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and ASSIA, with dates limited from 2015 to 2020, were used to conduct a systematic search of the literature. Review methods:The Joanna Briggs Institute approach was followed, with results reported according to the Preferred Reporting System for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The associated checklist for systematic reviews was also used. A standardised data extraction tool was then used, with quality appraisal guided by the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, with a subsequent convergent qualitative synthesis.Results: Sixteen papers were identified for inclusion, nine quantitative, six qualitative and one mixed methods. Four themes were identified: research competence and culture, proactive research mentorship, research resources and making a difference.These were critically discussed in relation to barriers and enablers to the conduct of research by nurses in clinical practice. Commonly cited barriers included a lack of research knowledge, confidence and access to resources, particularly protected time, while enablers such as educational partnerships, identifying research-motivated clinical nurses and access to research role models were also apparent in the literature.Conclusions: Globally, nurses in clinical practice are clearly motivated to engage in the research process despite apparent barriers that have a significant impact on productivity. Nevertheless, there are also enablers to building research capacity apparent that offer methodological and structural approaches to empower this group to conduct research.
