Use Of Research

Abstract Background Scientific knowledge and theory constitute part of the nurse’s competence and evidence-based nursing practice. To obtain and maintain these skills, nurses require access to research utilization. The aim of the present study was therefore to describe and compare nurses in nursing homes and home-based nursing care and their use of research knowledge in their practice in elderly care in Norwegian rural districts. Methods The Research Utilization Questionnaire (RUQ) was employed in cross-sectional quantitative design. One hundred nurses were recruited from ten rural municipalities that participated in the study. Inclusion criteria for participating were registered nurses and employees working in the municipal elderly care service for 6 months or more. Results Most participants were younger than 55 years old, worked in permanent jobs, and were educated more than 5 years ago. The result showed that nurses in nursing homes were significantly more positive compared to nurses in home-based nursing care when analyzing all three domains in the RUQ together, as well as for attitudes towards research when testing each domain separated. Overall, each item in the domains revealed opinions that were more positive for nurses in nursing homes. The regression analysis showed that attitudes towards research, as well as availability and support of research utilization predicted the use of research in daily practice. Conclusions Positive attitudes, availability, and support for research utilization can contribute to greater use of research in nursing practice and improve the quality of service. Younger nurses’ knowledge about using research should be shared with senior colleagues, who possess much experience in practice. In collaboration, they can develop evidence-based practice by the implementation of research seen in the context of nurses’ experiences, user involvement, and person-centred practice. The i-PARIHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) framework can be a useful tool in this implementation process.

For more than 30 years, research utilization has been described in the literature, which predated the heightened interest and demand for using best research evidence in nursing practice. Fernandez, Tran, Ramjan, Ho, and Gill identified evidence-based practice (EBP) as a methodical approach for using the best research evidence when making clinical judgments, together with patient preference and clinical experience. Furthermore, EBP was defined as the use of evidence-based knowledge in the clinical situations, and its usage should be one of the most important educational objectives in nursing education as well as one of the important skills for registered nurses worldwide. In nursing education, students must be taught to appreciate the importance of utilizing best evidence in their nursing practice, especially during their clinical time in the healthcare setting. It is hoped that if they appreciate EBP that when they become nurses, they will play an important role in the decision-making related to patient care, along with other medical and allied health professionals.

The results of the patient satisfaction survey and observation result showed the lack of caring behavior of the attending nurses in Inpatient Ward of Wisma Prashanti General Hospital. This study aimed at determining the relation of nurses’ working motivation towards caring behavior of attending nurses in Inpatient Ward of Wisma Prashanti General Hospital Tabanan. Methods: The design of this study was cross-sectional using a quantitative approach. Data was collected by filling out questionnaires by 37 of attending nurses from Juni-August 2018 in Inpatient Ward of Wisma Prashanti General Hospital Tabanan. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis with Kendall's Tau_b test. Result: Univariate analysis showed that most nurses had the high working motivation (89.2%) and had good caring behavior (91.9%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between working motivation and caring behavior of attending nurses in Inpatient Ward of Wisma Prashanti General Hospital Tabanan (p = 0,00). Conclusion: Fulfillment of the supporting factors of nurses’ working motivation is needed to maintain or improve the working motivation of nurses, therefore, nurses have an inner impulse to provide caring in order to provide optimal and professional nursing care.

Quality school nursing practice should be evidence-based. However registered nurses in autonomous school nursing practice have limited capacities to access, synthesize, and implement the best evidence into practice. Clinical guidelines are important tools to reduce barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) and support the delivery of high-quality school nursing care. The purpose of this article is to outline what EBP clinical guidelines are, are not, and why they matter.

The Subject

In recent years, additional expressions such as ‘sensation of breathing discomfort’ and ‘discomfort of dyspnea’ are being used in daily nursing care in Japan. To better understand the current status of the use of these terms by nurses, and to ascertain what the term ‘dyspnea’ may not express, we designed an original questionnaire and conducted a study with all nurses at our hospital. The questionnaire included questions to determine if nurses used these terms, and in what context. Of the 279 nurses in our hospital, 225 (80.6%) responded. Three-quarters of nurses indicated that they use these terms in clinical nursing practice. There was no difference in the usage of these terms between nurses who had or had not worked in a respiratory outpatients/ward. However, the percentage of nurses using these terms was higher amongst those with 10 years or less nursing experience compared with those with more than 10 years’ experience. Open-ended questions revealed that these terms were used to communicate information between nurses and between nurses and patients’ families. Our observations need to be verified in large-scale studies to determine if these terms are meaningful for nursing practice in that they describe something not expressed with ‘dyspnea’. There is the possibility of confusion due to the use of inappropriate terms and a lack of education on the subject. Many nurses used these terms, and there may be things that the term ‘dyspnea’ could not express. The results of this study can be used to identify something that is lacking in communication about dyspnea between nurses, nurses and patients, and nurses and patients’ families.
