“…An embracing research culture and environment can be created through providing the relevant critical researchers and support, identifying the importance of research within a department, as well as building an open and harmonious working atmosphere (Moore et al, 2012;Wilkes et al, 2013). These methods help nurses to build confidence in participating in research project gradually and promote research ability (Cooper and Brown, 2018;Kjerholt and Holge-Hazelton, 2018). Furthermore, considering the salary and benefit are initiative factors which encourage nurses to participate in research projects, establishing research reward policies, such as increasing payments and giving more opportunities for career development, should be emphasized by nursing managers (Akerjordet et al, 2012a;Gullick and West, 2016).…”

The existing literature on research ability among clinical nurses in tertiary hospitals in well-developed areas in China is sparse. The aim of this study is to explore the level of research ability and its determinants among clinical nurses in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted and a total of 627 registered clinical nurses were recruited and surveyed with the Scale of Nursing Scientific Research ability. T-test and One-way ANOVA were used in this study.Quantitative results showed that the mean scores for the research ability was 49.64 (SD 23.60, range 0～120). 559 (89.2%) nurses had weak research ability and 68 (10.8%) had high level of research ability. After adjustment for confounding by multiple linear regressions, this study also demonstrated that determinants including the frequency of reading nursing research articles and the number of participating in research projects were independently associated with research ability.

“…Adopting a research‐engaged culture and providing support for clinicians to be actively involved in research are essential elements to increasing nurses' and midwives' ownership of the evidence for their practice. Redesigning old strategies such as journal clubs is one way in which organizations (and managers) may contribute to the shift in clinicians' thinking (Cooper & Brown, 2018 ; Leonard et al, 2022 ).…”

Aim To stimulate discussion and debate about the inclusion of vulnerable populations in primary research to inform practice change and improve health outcomes. Background Current research practices to safeguard vulnerable people from potential harms related to power imbalances may in fact limit the generation of evidence‐based practice. Evaluation The authors draw on their experience working and researching with a recognized group of vulnerable people, incarcerated pregnant women, to provide insight into the application of ethics in both research and clinical practice. In a novel approach, the ethical principles are presented in both contexts, articulating the synergies between them. Suggestions are presented for how individuals, managers and organizations may improve research opportunities for clinical practitioners and enhance the engagement of vulnerable people to contribute to meaningful practice and policy change. Key Issues Ethical practice guidelines may limit the ability to create meaningful change for vulnerable populations, who need authentic system change to achieve good health outcomes. Conclusion Inclusive research and practice are essential to ensuring a strengths‐based approach to healthcare and addressing health needs of the whole population. Health systems and models of care recognizing the diverse lives and health needs of the broader population demand practical, sustainable support from clinical managers. Implications for Nursing Management Practical suggestions for clinical managers to support point of care research is provided, embedding vulnerable voices in policy, practice development and care provision.

“…The main aim of JCs is typically to bring a group of HCPs together who share the same interests to engage in a discussion of selected articles related to their field and clinical practice. [33] Facilitators of JCs lead the presentation of the article and the discussion among journal club members. Journal club discussion environments help participants to network and learn different clinical experiences and perspectives from each other.…”

Background and objective: Hamad Medical Corporation nurse leaders established nursing journal clubs in 2014 as an important strategy to involve nurses in translating research into practice and as an effort to provide patients with the highest possible standards of care. Since the implementation of journal clubs in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), evaluative research within HMC has not been conducted to examine the effectiveness of this strategy. The aim of this review was to increase decision makers’ knowledge about the effectiveness of journal clubs in translating knowledge into clinical practice and to provide a framework to guide the development of a survey tool that would aide in the evaluation of nursing journal clubs’ effectiveness at Hamad Medical Corporation. A literature search was conducted as an initial step top guide the development of this tool.Methods: A literature search was conducted yielded 13 studies that evaluated the effectiveness of journal clubs after removing all duplicates and applying the inclusion criteria. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool-version 2011 was used to evaluate the quality of the included articles. Data was analyzed and extracted from each study and assembled into a summary table.Results: Four themes related to journal clubs’ effectiveness that are important in translating knowledge into practice: encouraging discussion among healthcare professionals, enhancing critical appraisal skills, promoting evidence-based practice knowledge, and impacting clinical practice.Conclusions: This literature review provides information about the four main interrelated themes that contribute to journal clubs’ effectiveness in translating knowledge into practice. This information would be useful to nurse educators at Hamad Medical Corporation and further utilized as a backdrop to the development of a tool to evaluate Hamad Medical Corporation nurses’ perceptions of journal clubs’ effectiveness.
