Barriers in implementing research among registered nurses working in the care of the elderly: a multicenter study in Spain

The experience of healthcare staff of incident reporting with respect to venous blood specimen collection practices’

“…VBSC personnel recognize that an error has occurred, but due to stress and lack of time staff avoid reporting the incident or may decide to report at a later date. In line with our results, other studies agree that incidents are seldom reported because of heavy workloads, lack of experience, and high personnel mobility (Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015;Webster & Anderson, 2002). Furthermore, the same reasons have been shown to be the most common causes of serious events (Rea & Griffiths, 2016;Vincent, Stanhope, & Crowley-Murphy, 1999).…”

“…Furthermore, the same reasons have been shown to be the most common causes of serious events (Rea & Griffiths, 2016;Vincent, Stanhope, & Crowley-Murphy, 1999). Specifically, it is reported that the workload, personnel mobility and the lack of experience need to be changed to reduce mistakes (Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015;Webster & Anderson, 2002). Proposed changes include scheduling time for incident reporting and implementing time for discussions that lead to improved risk awareness (Rea & Griffiths, 2016).…”

“…Thus, it is important to create a system that constantly strives to prevent mistakes without assigning blame (Howell et al, 2017;Nygren et al, 2013;Shanks, Bil, & Fernhout, 2015). The importance of nursing research is for personnel to gain learning opportunities and an understanding of how others work, but nowadays there is not enough time for this (Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015). As a consensus, we believe that research and knowledge is critical to improving nursing care, changing routines, and working in a safe manner.…”

Measuring Links Between Awareness and Implementation of Engineering Education Research in Practice

“…The current study found that EE professionals on non-traditional career tracks reported greater awareness than those on a mid-career track. Based on the literature describing factors that can impede research utilization, professionals on traditional career tracks may experience barriers related to organizational structures and cultures, such as lacking time and support to explore relevant research for practice (Breimaier et al, 2011;Cummings, Estabrooks, Midodzi, Wallin, & Hayduk, 2007;Gerish et al, 2007;Johnston et al, 2016;Kristensen, Borg, & Hounsgaard, 2012;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015). Professionals on non-traditional career tracks may work in non-traditional settings where they have more time and resources to access research related to daily routine.…”

“…This difference in findings may be due to differences in career tracks and culture, as Björkström and colleagues examined Swedish nursing students while Breimaier and colleagues examined Austrian nurses. Indeed, other research in health-related disciplines suggests that the characteristics of one's organization (Breimaier et al, 2011;Cummings, Estabrooks, Midodzi, Wallin, & Hayduk, 2007;Gerish et al, 2007;Johnston et al, 2016;Kristensen, Borg, & Hounsgaard, 2012;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015), as well as the local professional values and culture (Johnston et al, 2016;Kristensen et al, 2012;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015), can influence one's implementation of research.…”
