ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To provide high-quality patient care, heart failure (HF) nurses must comprehend/use best evidence; however, HF nurses' ability to do so are unknown.OBJECTIVES:
To describe HF nurses' research interest/involvement, confidence, facilitators/motivators, and barriers to lead/collaborate in research studies.METHODS:
A descriptive design with convenience sampling and online data collection (Qualtrics) were used with American Association of HF Nurses members. Recruited/included nurses (n = 145) needed to be of any educational level and currently practicing in any practice setting in the United States. A 30-item, adapted instrument assessed research interest (one-question), involvement (two-questions), confidence (two-questions), facilitators (one-question), motivators (three-questions), and barriers (21-questions).RESULTS:
Subjects (n = 145) were Caucasian (n = 124, 86.1 %) females (n = 137, 96.5 %) with an average age of 52.5 ± 10.38 years and 26.90±12.06 years of nursing experience. Nurses were interested in conducting nursing research (7.78/10±2.37) but involvement was low. Most frequently (n = 73, 50.3 %) nurses served as principal/co-investigators. Confidence with research participation was moderate (70.28/100±26.92) and in their ability to understand/apply research findings were low (21.68/100±80.07). The most frequently reported facilitator was the ability to control their own schedule/work (n = 30, 20.7 %) and the strongest motivator (n = 107, 73.8 %) was the perception presenting nursing research/EBP impacts HF care. The greatest reported barrier was the authority to seek research funding (2.39/5 ± 1.14). Nursing experience (p=.034), interest in participating in nursing research (p=.01), and how much presenting nursing research/EBP impacted one's performance review (p<.001) added to the prediction (R2=0.499, p<.001).CONCLUSIONS:
The gained knowledge may promote development of innovative programs and educational opportunities to increase HF nurses' research activities.Palabras clave
