“…While there is an identified inconsistency in the meaning of the term research capacity building, within this paper it refers to involvement at all levels of the research process from question design to dissemination [5, 8]. Research capacity building has been identified as a priority in nursing research and development [5, 9].…”

“…Strong leadership has long been advocated as a key element in clinical research capacity building [8, 10, 21, 22, 24]. Other features that reflect a strong leadership presence include, the development of a strategy, formalising research policies and support [8, 20, 24, 25], identifying priorities [24], the development of a research culture [15, 20, 22], an organisational need for research [8] and the use of a steering committee [11, 20]. …”

Describing the implementation of an innovative intervention and evaluating its effectiveness in increasing research capacity of advanced clinical nurses: using the consolidated framework for implementation research

BackgroundDespite advanced nursing roles having a research competency, participation in research is low. There are many barriers to participation in research and few interventions have been developed to address these. This paper aims to describe the implementation of an intervention to increase research participation in advanced clinical nursing roles and evaluate its effectiveness.MethodsThe implementation of the intervention was carried out within one hospital site. The evaluation utilised a mixed methods design and a implementation science framework. All staff in advanced nursing roles were invited to take part, all those who were interested and had a project in mind could volunteer to participate in the intervention. The intervention consisted of the development of small research groups working on projects developed by the nurse participant/s and supported by an academic and a research fellow. The main evaluation was through focus groups. Output was analysed using thematic analysis. In addition, a survey questionnaire was circulated to all participants to ascertain their self-reported research skills before and after the intervention. The results of the survey were analysed using descriptive statistics. Finally an inventory of research outputs was collated.ResultsIn the first year, twelve new clinical nurse-led research projects were conducted and reported in six peer reviewed papers, two non-peer reviewed papers and 20 conference presentations. The main strengths of the intervention were its promptness to complete research, to publish and to showcase clinical innovations. Main barriers identified were time, appropriate support from academics and from peers. The majority of participants had increased experience at scientific writing and data analysis.ConclusionThis study shows that an intervention, with minor financial resources; a top down approach; support of a hands on research fellow; peer collaboration with academics; strong clinical ownership by the clinical nurse researcher; experiential learning opportunities; focused and with needs based educational sessions, is an intervention that can both increase research outputs and capacity of clinically based nurses. Interventions to further enhance nursing research and their evaluation are crucial if we are to address the deficit of nurse-led patient-centred research in the literature.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12912-017-0214-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…O'Byrne and Smith [30] identified three models to build research capacity in clinical nurses: the Evidence-Based Practice model, Facilitative model, and Experiential Learning model. Despite using various definitions of research competencies, all of these models focus on developing nurses' skills to conduct research and to appraise, synthesize, and implement research findings [31][32][33].Building research capacity for nurses [13] increases nurses' confidence [34] and quality in providing care [35].…”

Background: Research competencies across nurses' career stages have not been adequately explored. Yet, research skills to appraise, synthesize, and implement research findings are required for evidence-based practice.Purpose: To explore the literature on registered nurse research competencies; to identify core competencies (i.e., knowledge, skills, and attitudes), research capacity-building activities, strategies and recommendations to strengthen nurses' research capacity; and to propose a conceptual developmental framework of nurse research competencies. Methods:As part of a larger project titled "Health Services Researcher Pathway", with the consultation of a health sciences librarian, we conducted an integrative literature review drawing on relevant publications. The PubMed (Medline), CINAHL, Web of Science and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses databases were searched from 2000 to 2012. From the revealed publications (n=1012), only 22 articles were relevant to nurse research competencies. Findings:The key themes cited in the literature reviewed include models and partnerships for building and developing competencies for research production (rather than utilization), and educational strategies and recommendations for interventions to provide confidence in evidence-based practice including research utilization and in clinical decisionmaking. According to the five-step evidence-based practice model (i.e., formation of answerable research questions, literature search and retrieval of the best available evidence, critical appraisal of the evidence, application of research findings into practice, and evaluation of performance based on the outcomes), we propose a framework for a nurse researcher pathway that may contribute to two research competency streams: for research users and research producers. The important area of research users is open for further research, since scarce literature exists. Conclusions:The proposed conceptual developmental framework for a nurse researcher pathway includes essential steps toward evidence-based practice in healthcare that have implications at the micro-level (nurse), mesolevel (organization), and macro-level (society). Our work continues to pilot and refine a nurse researcher pathway and its associated competencies.

“…12 The main sources of information used in this review to identify the models were a book, a thesis of Full Professors 14 and seven scientific articles. 2,[15][16][17][18][19][20] After the identification of the models, a search of specific references on the topic of interest was performed and the published articles were read. The models for the use of research in practice were presented according to the historical emergence.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: identificar modelos para implementação da prática baseada em evidências na Enfermagem hospitalar. Método: Revisão narrativa da literatura. Após a identificação dos modelos, realizou-se uma busca de referências específicas sobre o tópico de interesse e procedeu-se a leitura dos artigos publicados. Resultados: são apresentados 16 modelos para a utilização de pesquisas na prática de enfermeiros hospitalares, publicadas no período de 1970 a 2015. Foram descritas as etapas para a implementação dos modelos, com ênfase nos tipos de evidências e abordagens para utilização das pesquisas. Conclusão: na análise dos pressupostos dos modelos descritos, pode-se inferir que a utilização de pesquisas na prática de enfermeiros hospitalares requer conhecimento e competências para além dos usuais no exercício cotidiano do trabalho. Desta maneira, o desafio para o cenário nacional perfaz o desenvolvimento de modelos próprios, específicos para a realidade vivenciada ou, ainda, a elaboração de iniciativas que retratem a implementação e/ou adaptação dos modelos propostos em âmbito internacional.
