The extent of nursing research utilization in general medical and surgical wards.

Abstract:

:There has been extensive speculation about the lack of research utilization in nursing but little attempt to quantify this phenomenon outside of North America. The current demands for evidence-based practice necessitate research utilization as one element of the process. As part of a larger project, this study aimed to describe the extent of research utilization by registered nurses in general medical and surgical wards in the Scottish Health Service. A postal survey was conducted for nurses to self-report their level of utilization of 14 research-based practices. The 14 practices represented examples of direct, indirect and methodological utilization of research. A research utilization score was constructed for each of the 14 practices and a total mean score constructed for all 14 practices. A random two-stage stratified sampling resulted in a total sample of 936 nurses from 25 hospitals. A 73% response rate was achieved. The total mean research utilization score for all nurses across all 14 nursing practices suggests that on average, nurses had heard, believed in and were beginning to use the practices. The sampling technique over-represents nurses in large hospitals and charge nurses, hence a weighting calculation on all scores was completed. There was little difference in weighted and unweighted scores. Scores on individual practices ranged from 60% (405/680) of nurses never having heard of a practice to 85% (574/680) always using a practice. This approach provides a valid and reliable method of assessing the extent of nursing research utilization. In several of the practices, nurses are making significant attempts at research-based practice. The level of research utilization compares favourably with research completed in North America and provides a baseline for United Kingdom and other country studies.
