Barriers to, and facilitators of, research utilization among nurses in Northern Ireland
Abstract
Barriers to, and facilitators of, research utilization among nurses in Northern Ireland It is clear from the nursing literature that there are a number of factors which can impede or facilitate the use of research in practice. It is important that these are identified and addressed, both at local and national levels, if evidence‐based practice is to become a reality. This study surveyed nurses’ perceptions of barriers to, and facilitators of, research utilization. The Barriers Scale was administered to a convenience sample of 2600 nurses in 23 hospitals in Northern Ireland. The number of completed questionnaires was 1368 (52·6%). The results show that the top barrier was ‘The nurse does not feel she/he has enough authority to change patient procedures’ followed by ‘statistical analyses are not understandable’. Seven out of the top 10 barriers were related to ‘setting’. The implications of these and other findings are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
