2017

The aim of the study was to examine the attitudes of nurses towards research in nursing. Methods: The study involved 202 respondents. The respondents were nurses employed at Osijek Clinical Hospital. The Boothe's Attitudes on Nursing Research Scale was used as an instrument of research-a modified version by Bostrom, A. C. Prior to statistical data processing, respondents were divided into two groups, considering the level of education: vocational nurses and Bachelors of Science in Nursing. By age, respondents were divided into three groups: aged 20 to 35, 36 to 50 and 51 to 65. The differences between the observed groups were tested by the t-test and analysis of variance. Results: There is a statistically significant difference in attitudes towards research given the level of education of the respondents (p = 0.015). Bachelors of Science in Nursing have more positive attitudes towards research (̅ =148.5) compared to vocational nurses (̅ =141.1). A significant difference in attitudes towards nursing research was determined also with respect to the age of respondents (p = 0.002). Younger nurses have a more positive attitude towards research in nursing (̅ = 151.5) than middle-aged (̅ =140.9) and senior-aged nurses (̅ =140.1) do. There is also a significant difference in the level of motivation for continuing professional education given the respondents' level of education (p = 0.019). Conclusion: Nurses show mildly positive attitudes towards nursing research.

International Journal of Nursing & Midwifery Research, 2018

Research is a vital aspect of all health services and essential to the provision of effective and safe health care. The scope of nursing research is to strengthen the body of knowledge in nursing practice, education and administration. A cross-sectional evaluatory study was conducted among 50 registered nurses from a Quaternary Care Centre in Delhi NCR in 2017 to evaluate the attitude of Nurses towards research. The tool consisted of an attitude scale with 20 items. The analysis of data revealed that majority of the Nurses (84%) had positive attitude towards research whereas 16% were neutral towards research. No nurses were found to have a negative attitude. It was also found that only 14% presented paper in conference and 12% nurses published articles in journal. No significant associations were found between attitude and professional qualification, attitude and research publication with the Chi square value of 0.0023 and 1.0582 respectively. This study reflects that in spite of having positive attitude towards research, very minimal number of nurses is participating in any form of research work as only 10% of nurses conducted individual researches in their area of work. The study concluded that there is a need to motivate nurses to conduct clinical researches in their area of work and to disseminate the information through publications and presentations.
