“…Of the eight studies included, five were observational ( 14 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ) and three were editorials or issue papers ( 13 , 23 , 24 ). Their main aims were to discuss the development of nursing research in Italy ( 13 , 24 ), identify its barriers and facilitators or the strategies to improve research outputs as publications ( 14 , 19 , 20 ), and to describe nurses’ beliefs and knowledge about nursing research ( 21 , 22 ).…”

“…As the value of research in nursing is strongly recognized, there is a growing interest in identifying strategies useful to increase it ( 19 ). However, few studies to date have assessed the effectiveness of specific strategies to develop research capacity ( 14 , 19 ), while some facilitators have been identified as (a) reading nursing journals, (b) establishing hospital support units and that of the researcher’s team, (c) enhancing university support, and (d) promoting international cooperation.…”

“…Experience within research teams has been recognized as a useful tool to promote research awareness ( 14 , 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 ). Formal mentorship while participating in healthcare research teams could also be effective in developing inter-professional research skills ( 14 , 19 , 22 , 23 ).…”

“…nursing research centres) within hospitals is useful in increasing nursing research production and dissemination approximately two or three years after their implementation. Both Chiari ( 19 ) and Forni ( 14 ) and colleagues analysed the establishment of a research centre based on three main variables: number of research protocols approved by the ethics committees; number of nurse co-authors of published papers; and number of publications where the first author is a nurse. In all cases, authors have reported a significant increase after the foundation of a research centre.…”

“…The enrolment of an expert/leader working alongside the other members of staff is recognized as promoting nurses’ research development. Gaps of knowledge that emerge from practice are needed to guide effective research, to assist clinical nurses in the production and conducting of research projects, as well as to ensure quality and methodological rigor in the scientific production ( 14 , 19 ).…”

Introduction The research capacity of nurses has been reported to be still constrained in several countries, and not fully implemented in its potentiality due to a large number of factors. Despite its relevance both for clinical and public health purposes, no summary has been compiled to date regarding factors influencing the research capacity in the Italian context. Therefore, the primary aim of this review was to identify the barriers and enablers of conducting research as perceived by Italian nurses. Methods We conducted a systematic review. The following databases have been searched: ILISI ® (Indice della Letteratura Italiana di Scienze Infermieristiche) MEDLINE-via PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Ovid, Open Grey, Google Scopus, and Web of Science. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Results The studies were mainly descriptive, with two quasi-experimental. A total of seven barriers and four facilitators of conducting research among Italian nurses were identified. The constraints were poor English knowledge, technology and library availability and accessibility, understaffing and lack of time, nursing culture characteristics, lack of nursing leadership support, scarce funding availability, and the bureaucratic ethical committee process. The facilitators were nursing journal reading, expert research team support, university and hospital partnerships, and international cooperation. Conclusions Given the small number and the high heterogeneity of the emerged studies, this systematic review provides an initial framework for the constraints that prevent, and the strategies that promote, Italian nurses’ participation/conducting of research projects that could inform policies in this field.

Background: The nursing profession has made great strides during the last century. Roles such as the clinical research nurse (CRN) have been developed and research is widely recognised as a vital component of the healthcare field. Hospitals involved in clinical nursing research can improve patient outcomes, increase staff and patient satisfaction and reduce hospital costs. Aim: The aim of this literature review is to analyse nurses and nursing students’ perception towards research, with focus on the available career progression for nurses in research. Method: A comprehensive search of literature on ASSIA, CINAHIL, PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases was conducted to obtain relevant articles related to the perception of nurses and nursing students towards research. Results: A total of 31 articles were selected for analysis following review. Three key themes were identified: nurses’ perception towards research; nursing students’ perception towards research; and career progression and job satisfaction. Conclusions: Involvement in research has helped nurses integrate evidence-based practice into their work. This has helped empower nurses to make positive change and develop their skills and knowledge. Unfortunately, research is still considered by many to be a ‘doctor’ field, and nurses have various difficulties accessing funding and education. Research education is vital to building the basic principles of nursing research and creating a positive attitude and perception around research. A change in culture is required to standardise research into university education, increase students’ perceptions and confidence in research, and help nurses incorporate valid evidence-based recommendations into practice.

Disparities in scientific research activity between doctors and nurses working in the Peruvian health care system: Analysis of a nationally representative sample

Aim To evaluate disparities in the frequency of scientific activity between medical doctors and nurses in Peru. Methods We carried out a secondary data analysis of the National Health Services Users’ Satisfaction Survey (ENSUSALUD), 2016. This nationally representative survey evaluates doctors and nurses working in clinical settings. We defined scientific activity as i) having published an original article (journal indexed in Web of Science, Scopus or Medline); and ii) having authored an abstract in a national or international conference. We estimated crude and adjusted disparities prevalence ratios (aDPR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results We included 2025 doctors and 2877 nurses in the analysis; 71% of doctors doctor were male, and 93% of nurses were female (p<0.001). Among doctors, 13.9% had published an article, and 8.4% presented an abstract at a conference in the last two years, while these proportions were 0.6% and 2.5% for nurses, respectively. The adjusted models showed that doctors, when compared to nurses, were approximately 27 times likely to have published a paper (aDPR = 27.86; 95% CI 10.46 to 74.19) and twice as likely to have authored a conference abstract (aDPR = 2.51; 95% CI 1.39 to 4.53). Conclusions There are important disparities in scientific activity between doctors and nurses working in clinical settings in Peru. Disparities are more significant for article publication than for authoring in conference abstracts. We suggest public policies that promote research dissemination between health professionals, with emphasis on nurses.
