“…Research courses are now an accepted part of nursing curricula. Radjenovic and Chally (1998) indicated that 90% of baccalaureate programs accredited by the NLN had a formal research course. The goals of teaching research are to foster the development of cognitive and professional skills, with emphasis on critical thinking and analysis and utilisation of research findings.…”

Attitudes towards research are significant indictors that connect practice to research and enhance nursing evidence-based practice. This correlational study was conducted to assess the attitudes of Jordanian nursing students towards nursing research. A self-administered questionnaire received from 612 senior nursing students at one of the largest universities in Amman, Jordan, was carried out. The results showed that nursing students had positive attitudes towards research. The majority of them believed that research has a role in developing the nursing profession, and that nurses must learn how to read and utilise research findings in practice. The majority also realised the value of research in improving quality of care, expressed the need to learn about nursing research, appreciated the necessity of research for the development of the nursing profession and had a willingness to conduct nursing research in clinical settings. Four attitude domains were identified, including research abilities, usefulness of research, personal interest in research and using research in clinical practice. The highest scores were observed on items related to 'usefulness of research' and the lowest were related to 'research abilities'. Providing students with information and strengthening their research abilities might enhance their positive feelings and increase their involvement in research activities after graduation.

“…[ 1 ] Nurses claimed that they cannot assess the quality or accuracy of the findings and because of that, employment of the findings was questionable for them. [ 11 14 15 ] Also, newly graduated nurses needed more time to learn and adapt to a professional environment before they could implement the findings of research in their nursing practice. [ 16 ] Moreover, research utilization was influenced by personal and professional characteristics of nurses.…”

Background:According to professionalization in nursing profession, the nursing researches expanded dramatically and rapidly in a very short period. Research results showed improvement in quality of provided care by using research findings. But there is still a gap between nursing research and practice, which led scientists to explore the barriers and facilitators of research utilization that could affect the application of research results. The aim of this review was to appraise and synthesize evidences of studies about the facilitators and barriers to research utilization in Iranian nurses.Material and Methods:A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies about the barriers and facilitators of nursing research utilization in Iran was undertaken.Results:The results showed that items such as “The nurse is isolated from knowledgeable colleagues with whom to discuss the research,” “There is insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas,” “The nurse does not have time to read research,” “The nurse does not feel she/he has enough authority to change patient care procedures,” “The facilities are inadequate for implementation,” “Physicians will not cooperate with implementation,” and “The relevant literature is not compiled in one place” were rated as the main barriers.Conclusions:The results of 10 studies about research utilization in Iran showed that the barriers and facilitators remained constant through time and across different locations. The rank orders of barriers and facilitators were the same approximately. The nurse managers and administrators could utilize the findings of this review to allocate human resources and other sources and promote nursing research utilization in clinical field.

“…The faculty in baccalaureate nursing programs must incorporate nursing research throughout the curriculum. A single course on research process is no assurance that even the best and brightest students will be prepared to perform the investigative functions of a nurse with a baccalaureate degree in nursing (15). Previous research studies recommend nursing research courses and concepts be introduced into the nursing curriculum as early as possible, since research courses and concepts improve nursing students' positive attitudes toward nursing research (16,17).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was determine undergraduate nursing students' research activities and utilization. Method: A descriptive design was used in the study. This study conducted with undergraduate nursing students at the two universities in Turkey during the spring term of 2012. The population consisted of 216 participants. The data were collected through a questionnaire developed by the author based on literature. The Percentage, Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to evaluate the collected data. Results: Approximately half of the students (49,5%) knew how to reach scientific publications but none of the students followed or read scientific publications. Only a few students (4,2%) had participated in a scientific research activity. It was found that 87,0% of the students did not utilize the research findings in clinical practice. Of 216 students, 34,4% did not know how to utilize the research findings. Conclusions: The majority of the students did not utilize the research findings in clinical practice. Insufficient knowledge about research utilization was the most prominent reason for not utilizing research findings by students. It is suggested that students should be encouraged and supported to utilize research findings and conduct research.
