Abstract

Background: Research delivery in emergency departments (EDs) is difficult owing to time and workload pressures. Research nurses are crucial to delivering research studies, but their integration into clinical teams varies.

Aim: This study evaluates the impact of embedding research nurses in an ED over a 10-year period, focusing on confidence in research practices and role sustainability.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among nurses completing a 1-year ED research secondment. Confidence in research skills, role perception and career progression were analysed using descriptive statistics and paired t tests.

Results: Of 55 eligible nurses, 29 responded (52.7%). Confidence in research activities was significantly higher following the secondment (P<0.001). Most felt integrated into the ED, and nearly 70% remained in ED for longer because of the secondment.

Conclusion: The embedded model enhances research capacity, increases nurse confidence and supports workforce retention, offering a replicable framework for integrating research teams into clinical practice.

嵌入式研究护士在加强急诊科研究交付中的作用。

背景：由于时间和工作量的压力，急诊科（EDs）的研究交付很困难。研究护士对提供研究至关重要，但他们融入临床团队的情况各不相同。目的：本研究评估了在急诊室嵌入研究型护士10年期间的影响，重点是对研究实践和角色可持续性的信心。方法：对完成1年急诊科研究借调的护士进行横断面调查。运用描述性统计和配对t检验对研究技能、角色认知和职业发展的信心进行分析。结果：55名符合条件的护士中，应答者29人（52.7%）。结论：嵌入式模型提高了研究能力，增加了护士的信心，并支持劳动力保留，为将研究团队整合到临床实践提供了一个可复制的框架。
