“…This factor was also identified by Hutchinson and Johnston [13] in Australia and by nurses in Hong Kong [11]. Inadequate facilities [3,11,15] and lack of support for implementing research [5,13] have also been cited as major organisational barriers.…”

“…Being incapable of evaluating research quality was rated the greatest barrier by MorenoCasbas et al [8]. Inadequate skills in critical appraisal, lack of skills in accessing research and evaluating its quality, lack of confidence to implement change, and unfamiliarity with the research language have also been reported as barriers in the literature [12,15].…”

This study aims to explore the barriers to evidence based practice (EBP) experienced by nurses working in a Maldivian healthcare organisation. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed to nurses in 5 healthcare facilities and 198 completed questionnaires were returned. The results of this study show that the perceived barriers by the nurses in the Maldives are not significantly different from those reported in developed countries. For healthcare organisations in the Maldives, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the barriers and facilitators to research practice in order to implement EBP. The study showed that the major barriers to research use were that "the relevant literature is not compiled in one place, " there is "insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas, " and "administration will not allow implementation. " The key facilitating factors for EBP include support, encouragement, and recognition by the management and administration. The findings of this study can be useful for determining strategies that can be introduced in the clinical setting to use EBP. Healthcare organisations must continue their support in order to decrease the barriers and optimise care in healthcare facilities.

“…Most recent research findings using the BARRIERS scale identified a few common perceived barriers, including inadequate time to read, interpret and implement new ideas of research findings [5,18]; knowledge deficits in accessing, understanding and evaluating research findings [8,15,26]; relevant research findings not being accessible in the workplace [6,18]; and lack of autonomy and authority to change practice [6,7]. Several aspects of nursing culture such as ritualistic care and lack of incentives to develop research-based practice have also been found to contribute to nurses’ perceived barriers to research utilization [27].…”

Despite the drive towards evidence-based practice, the extent to which research evidence is being implemented in nursing practice is unclear, particularly in developing countries. This study was to assess the levels of perceived barriers to and facilitators of research utilization in practice among Chinese nurses and inter-relationships between these barriers and facilitators and their socio-demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional, descriptive survey was conducted in 2011 with 743 registered nurses randomly selected from four general hospitals in China. They completed the Barriers to Research Utilization and Facilitators of Research Utilization scales. Correlation tests were used to test the relationships between the nurses’ perceived barriers and facilitators, their demographic characteristics and research training and involvement. The Chinese nurses’ level of perceived barriers was moderate on average and lower than that in previous research. Among the 10 top-ranked items, six were from the subscale ‘Organizational Characteristics’. Their perceived barriers were correlated positively with age and post-registration experience and negatively with research training undertaken. Junior diplomatic nurses reported a significantly higher degree of barriers than those senior ones with postgraduate education. Higher and more diverse barriers to research utilization in practice are perceived by Chinese nurses than those in Western countries and they are associated with a few socio-demographic factors. Future research on these barriers/facilitators and their relationships with occupational and socio-cultural factors in Chinese and other Asian nurses is recommended.

“…Of the identified system-related barriers, access to research experts in the organization was ranked as the number one barrier and reported in a few studies as a system-related barrier as well (Patiraki et al, 2004;Khader et al, 2015;Mehrdad et al, 2008).…”

This study aimed to determine the barriers to research utilization from HMC registered nurses' perspectives. This quantitative descriptive study used a newly developed 25-item questionnaire. The questions were categorized into three domains: Nurse-related, System-related and Research-related Barriers. The questionnaire was distributed electronically via e-mail service to all registered nurses in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) (N = 5000). About 901 responses were collected (response rate = 18%). Of the total responses, 430 met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that System-related barriers domain scored the least average among the three domains. Followed by research and nurse-related barriers domains respectively. Lack of access to research experts (51%), lack of physicians' support to change practice (52%), lack of protected time for research (55%) and lack of other disciplines' support to change practice (57%) were reported as top system-related barriers. The difficulty of utilizing research findings in clinical practice was reported as a research-related barrier (57%). Moreover, results showed a significant relationship (P-value 0.005) between access to research experts and the support from other disciplines with the hospital where the nurses work within HMC. Otherwise, no significant relationship between the identified barriers and demographic characteristics was determined. The findings provided baseline information for an organizational research utilization program, necessary measures such as; protected time, accessibility to research mentors or experts and evidence-based practice units are highly recommended by the frontline nurses through a review of the successful research governance models within HMC.
