Factors Related to Nurses' Research Capacity in Regional Hospitals
Keywords:
Factors, Research Capacity, Nurses, Regional HospitalsAbstract
The objective of this descriptive research was to examine nurses’ research capacity and factors related to the research capacity of nurses in regional hospitals in the Northern Region. Participants were 446 registered nurses working in three northern regional hospitals, selected using a multistage random sampling technique. The research tools consisted of 1) a personal data questionnaire, 2) the Research Participation Questionnaire (RPQ), and 3) the Research Capacity and Culture Tool (RCC Tool). The reliability of the RPQ was tested using Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20), with a value of 0.86. The reliability of the RCC tool was tested using the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient, which was 0.96. The general data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Analyzing factors related to the research capacity of nurses using Sperman’s correlation coefficient test.
The results showed that the research capacity of nurses in regional hospitals in the Northern Region, overall, was at a low level (Median = 3, IQR = 1.27-6.15). Education levels had a positive correlation with research capacity at a low level (r = 0.13, p-value < 0.01). Research participation was moderately positively correlated with research capacity (r = 0.54, p-value < 0.001). This study suggests that nursing administrators should develop strategies to promote nurses' participation in research and provide opportunities for nurses to further their education in order to the research potential of nurses.
