“…Dünyada ve ülkemizde lisans düzeyindeki hemşirenin araştırma sürecinde aktif rol almaktan ziyade araştırmacılara yardımcı olma rolünü üstlenmesi ve esas olarak araştırmanın etkili bir tüketicisi olması ve araştırma bulgularını uygulamaya aktarması beklenebilir. Pek çok ülkede hemşirelik öğrencilerinin araştırma farkındalığı ve tutumlarını inceleyen araştırmalar yapılmıştır [8][9][10] . Ülkemizde de hemşirelerin ve hemşire öğrencilerin araştırma konusundaki görüş ve tutumlarına ilişkin çalışmalar her geçen gün artmaktadır 11 .…”

ÖZET AMAÇ: Bu araştırma, farklı okullarda eğitim gören hemşirelik öğrencilerinin araştırmaya, gelişmelere farkındalığı ve tutumunun belirlenmesi amacı ile tanımlayıcı-karşılaştırmalı olarak yapılmıştır. YÖNTEMLER: Araştırma lisans eğitimi veren üç farklı okulda öğrenim gören 157 son sınıf öğrencisi (evrenin %83.8'i) ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, 2010-2011 eğitim-öğretim yılı içerisinde soru formu ve "Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Araştırmaya, Gelişmelere Farkındalığı ve Tutumu Ölçeği" ile toplanmıştır. Veriler; yüzde, ortalama, one way-Anova, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, kikare, cronbach alfa katsayısı ve LSD post hoc analizleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. BULGULAR: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalamasının 22.17±1.29, %53.5'inin öğrenimleri süresince herhangi bir araştırma etkinliğine ve hemşirelikle ilgili bilimsel bir toplantıya katıldığı belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin cinsiyetleri (p<0.05), okudukları okulları (p<0.01) ile ölçek puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlılık olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin bugüne kadar mesleki bir dergi okuma ve mezuniyet tezi hazırlamayı isteme durumları ile ölçek puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.01). Araştırmadaki ölçek toplam puan ortalaması 118.18±18.94, madde puan ortalaması ise 4.08±0.65 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin madde puan ortalamasının beşe yaklaşması, farkındalığın ve olumlu tutumun yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. SONUÇ: Öğrencilerin hemşirelik alanındaki araştırma ve gelişmelere yönelik farkındalığının ve tutumlarının olumlu yönde olduğu saptanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Öğrenci, araştırma, farkındalık, tutum SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This is a descriptive and comparative study aiming at determining awareness and attitude of nursing students studying in various schools with respect to research and development. METHODS:The study was conducted with 157 seniors (83.8% of the population) studying in three different schools which provide undergraduate education in research. The data were collected using a questionnaire and the "Scale for Nursing Students' Awareness of and Attitude to Research and Development" in the 2010-2011 academic year. The data were evaluated using percentage, average, one-way Anova, t-test in independent groups, chi-square, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and LSD post hoc analyses. RESULTS: It was found that the mean age of students was 22.17±1.29, 53.5% participated in some research activity and a scientific meeting related to nursing during their education. A significance was found between their gender (p<0.05) and schools (p<0.01), and their mean scale scores. Another significant difference was seen between the students' willingness to read a vocational journal to the date and to prepare a graduation thesis, and their mean scale scores (p<0.01). During the assessment of the scale, the overall mean score was found to be 118.18±18.94 and the item mean score to be 4.08±0.65. An item mean score approaching to 5 shows that awareness and positive attitude are high. CONCLUSION: The students were found to have a positive awareness of and attitude to re...

“…Several students had interesting ideas for future research, but had little motivation to follow through with them. Students emphasized this lack of motivation emanated from not expecting to study research, and having a poor understanding of the nature and usefulness of nursing research [5] . However, more positive perceptions of research were evident in the findings of a study carried out by Bjorkstrom, Johnasson, Hamrin, and Athlin [6] .…”

“…Kennel, Burns, and Horn [4] noted that anecdotally, nursing students regard engaging in research projects as unrealistic given their other responsibilities within educational programs and view research projects as intimidating. In a qualitative study examining nursing students' perceptions of research, Ax and Kincade [5] found that students were uncertain about the usefulness of research in practice. Uncertainty was often linked to a lack of understanding of the research process or struggling to recall research terminology and skills.…”

Engaging undergraduate nursing students in research is essential to promoting evidence-informed nursing, but can prove challenging. The purpose of this article is to highlight key experiences of four undergraduate nursing students who are enthusiastic about research with the potential to inform the education and training of undergraduate nursing students in research. Analysis of our own experiences emphasized that enthusiasm for research is promoted by the following factors: love of learning, opportunities for collaboration, support, confidence, overcoming research related challenges, research visibility and realizing the impact of research. Research related challenges and the invisibility of research served to diminish our enthusiasm. From these observations, we concluded that to promote nursing student enthusiasm for research, opportunities for exposure to research need to be available, allowing students to grasp the nature and impact of nursing research. More studies are needed to assess the research experiences of undergraduate nursing students.

Background: By integrating education, research and collaboration with society, in a learning assignment, the level of nursing students learning can be enhanced. Aim:The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' experiences of participating in a work and research integrated learning assignment during their clinical practice courses. Methods:At the end of their nursing training, in their sixth semester, five nursing students were recruited to the study and interviewed after which the texts of interviews were analysed using content analysis. The participants had been involved in two studies, one during their second semester, where the risk of falling was assessed, and one during their sixth semester where the risk for under nutrition was assessed. Results:The students experienced that the two assignments enhanced their learning in how to work as a foreman/supervisor, how to inform and engage in dialogue, about using risk assessment, and further, gave them the opportunity to meet the people behind the diagnosis. Through assignments they could also identify the need for knowledge within the study focus, for instance, the risks for falling or the risk of undernourishment. Further, they described how they tried to live up to the ethical standards and that they had learned about using a scientific approach in their work. Conclusion:It is possible to integrate Research, Education and Collaboration in a learning assignment during Nursing education (RECN-assignment) by allowing nursing students to participate in an actual research project during their work integrated learning courses. Such an approach enhances nursing students learning about research and the area being studied in the actual research project.
