“…A positive research culture appeared to be an important facilitator to specialist nurses inviting patients to participate. Previous studies have found that positive organizational research cultures facilitate recruitment, provided that these result in sufficient provision of research infrastructure [ 33 ], and that these values are communicated to staff [ 7 , 15 ]. The wider organisational research culture within NHS Trusts and clinical specialties was considered potentially influential by some participants.…”

“…There are some examples of previous studies that have taken this approach, although with more specific foci. For example, Nurmi and colleagues explored Finnish hospital nurses’ perceptions of ethical issues surrounding inviting patients to research, interviewing nurse leaders rather than nurses doing the inviting [ 15 ]. They found positive and timely collaborations with researchers, a positive research culture and opportunity for quiet moments to discuss research with patients to be facilitators to delivering invitations.…”

BackgroundIncreasing the number of patients participating in research studies is a current priority in the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. The role of specialist nurses in inviting patients to participate is important, yet little is known about their experiences of doing so. The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of barriers and facilitators held by specialist nurses with experience of inviting adult NHS patients to a wide variety of research studies.MethodsA cross-sectional qualitative descriptive study was conducted between March and July 2015. Participants were 12 specialist nurses representing 7 different clinical specialties and 7 different NHS Trusts. We collected data using individual semi-structured interviews, and analysed transcripts using the Framework method to inductively gain a descriptive overview of barriers and facilitators.ResultsBarriers and facilitators were complex and interdependent. Perceptions varied among individuals, however barriers and facilitators centred on five main themes: i) assessing patient suitability, ii) teamwork, iii) valuing research, iv) the invitation process and v) understanding the study. Facilitators to inviting patients to participate in research often stemmed from specialist nurses’ attitudes, skills and experience. Positive research cultures, effective teamwork and strong relationships between research and clinical teams at the local clinical team level were similarly important. Barriers were reported when specialist nurses felt they were providing patients with insufficient information during the invitation process, and when specialist nurses felt they did not understand studies to their satisfaction.ConclusionOur study offers several new insights regarding the role of specialist nurses in recruiting patients for research. It shows that strong local research culture and teamwork overcome some wider organisational and workload barriers reported in previous studies. In addition, and in contrast to common practice, our findings suggest research teams may benefit from individualising study training and invitation procedures to specialist nurses’ preferences and requirements. Findings provide a basis for reflection on practice for specialist nurses, research teams, policymakers, and all with an interest in increasing patient participation in research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12874-016-0204-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Studies of clinical nurses' and other clinical and research members' perceptions of recruiting to clinical research have identified facilitators of effective recruitment, including strong communication between research study teams, lead nurses and other healthcare staff (Baron, Hirani, & Newman, 2016;Nurmi, Pietil€ a, Kangasniemi, & Halkoaho, 2015;Peters-Lawrence et al, 2012;Reynolds et al, 2013); integrated clinical and academic teams on site and doctors mentioning the study within routine consultation (Newington & Metcalfe, 2014); and clinical teams holding positive attitudes towards research (Borschmann, Patterson, Poovendran, Wilson, & Weaver, 2014;French & Stavropoulou, 2016).…”

“…[ 1 ] The use of evidence and research findings can result in providing the efficient and effective patient care and improving the quality of nursing care and also can make nurses accountable for their individual performance. [ 2 ] Utilizing the research findings not only will improve the quality and standards of nursing care,[ 3 ] but also can lead to the nurses’ personal and professional development. [ 4 ] Using research findings in nursing is defined as the application of the research findings in each task and function of a nurse[ 5 ] and is one of the most important indicators of development in the nursing profession.…”

Background:The application of the nursing research findings is one of the most important indicators of development in the nursing profession, which leads to providing efficient and effective patient care and improving the quality of nursing care. According the result of some studies, transferring the evidence-based findings to the nurses’ practice and education in the world has been slow and sometimes unsuccessful. This study aimed to investigate the most important barriers to the application of research findings from the nurses’ perspective.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 210 nurses in a teaching hospital in Tehran in 2013. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisted of two parts, including items about nurses’ demographic characteristics and 30 items to identify the most important barriers to the application of research findings from the studied nurses’ perspective.Results:“The lack of sufficient time for reading the studies,” “the lack of sufficient time to implement the new ideas,” “the lack of adequate facilities to implement the ideas,” “nurses’ little interest in conducting studies,” and “the lack of authority to change the methods and patterns of care” with, respectively, 85%, 84.6%, 83.8%, 83.4%, and 80.5% agreement with the existence of barriers were the most barriers to application of research findings from the studied nurses’ perspective.Conclusion:The lack of time was the most important barrier to the use of research findings from the perspective of studied nurses. Therefore, some effective strategies should be used by hospital managers and health policy makers to overcome this barrier. Some of these strategies can be employing new personnel and hiring skilled and efficient human resources in order to decrease the workload of nurses, organizing the nurses’ work shifts, providing right balance between patients and nurses in the wards, etc.
