Research utilisation, organisational research culture and Corchon hypothesis: Response to Corchon S (2010) Commentary on Kocaman G, Seren S, Lash AA, Kurt S, Bengu N & Yurumezoglu HA (2010) Barriers to research usage by staff nurses in a university hospital.

A Survey of Nurses’ Perceived Barriers to Research Utilization in Bahrain in Comparison to other Countries

“…(18) Three studies; one from Hong Kong (19) and two from Turkey (10,18) reported 'inadequate facilities for implementation' as their greatest barrier. Three studies; one from USA, (20) one from Turkey (21) and one from Iran (12) reported time constraints as the greatest barrier. One Swedish study reported feeling isolated from experienced colleagues to discuss research as the greatest barrier.…”

Assessing Organizational Capacity to Support Research Utilization in Ontario: a Descriptive Study Among Senior Nursing Leaders

“…The focus of these strategies has been to address modifiable attributes such as attitude toward research use and education regarding the technical components of RU (acquiring, critiquing and applying research). Various strategies that have been used to equip nurses with the knowledge and skills required to engage in and improve the use of research include: nursing research committees (Barnsteir et al, 2010), evidence-based projects or fellowships (Barnsteir et al, 2010;Hauck, Winsett & Kuric, 2013;Melnyk et al, 2012), journal clubs (Drenkard, 2013;Krugman, 2010;Mensik, 2011;Parkosewich, 2013), research champions or mentors (Hauck et al, 2013;Melnyk et al, 2012;Parkosewich, 2013), collaboration with academic institutions (Drenkard, 2013;Missal, Schafer, Halm & Schaffer, 2010), research day and/or symposium (Hauck et al, 2013;Kocaman & Lash, 2011;Krugman, 2010;Melnyk et al, 2012) and financial resources (Kocaman & Lash, 2011).…”

“…Researchers have suggested that although strategies targeting the individual attributes of nurses are important, they often do not account for the environment in which the nurse is employed namely, the organization (Brown et al, 2009;Cadmus et al, 2008;Corchon, 2010;Kocaman & Lash, 2011;Melnyk et al, 2012). More specifically, strategies that target the individual attributes of nurses fail to consider how the organization may or may not contribute to RU.…”

“…More specifically, strategies that target the individual attributes of nurses fail to consider how the organization may or may not contribute to RU. One of the primary reasons that it is critical to explore the organization is because the individual nurse cannot be separated from the administrative, political, organizational and social factors that surround practice (Cadmus et al, 2008;Corchon, 2010;Kocaman & Lash, 2011;Melnyk et al, 2012;Myers & Meccariello, 2006;Rycroft-Malone, 2008;Scott-Findlay & Golden Biddle, 2005). Each of these factors has the potential to impact RU and associated behaviours among nurses.…”

Development of acrylated soybean oil‐based UV‐curable coatings with high impact strength from low viscosity oligomer

“…It was found that AESO as a modifier was superior to the epoxy resin in both the mechanical properties and environmental compatibility. 33 AESO could also be used as a complete replacement of toxic and volatile St in the unsaturated polyester resins. 34 Furthermore, UV-curable coatings with excellent properties have been prepared with AESO as oligomer through UV-irradiated free radical polymerization in the presence of an initiator.…”
