Abstract
Purpose
To study prioritisation regarding research subjects according to nurses who provide care in Dutch neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Design
A national multicentre cross-sectional survey among all neonatal intensive care nurses. A digital questionnaire, based on the results of a former Delphi study, with open questions added, was used for data collection.
Results
294 direct-care nurses of 9 NICUs prioritised research statements. Top five statement in descending order are: optimal nursing staffing levels, pain and stress, sepsis management and care, healthcare team communication and collaboration, the care of the mechanically ventilated infant. Nurses stated they need more communication about research to feel more involved. They also want to learn more about the set-up of research and how to search, assess and interpret literature.
Conclusion
These research priorities can be used as a guide to explore and perform further, most desired nursing research and avoid research waste.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
