Understanding research capacity and culture of nurses and midwives in two health services in Western Australia
Background
Health services with a strong research culture report better patient outcomes and organisational performance. Measuring research capacity and culture (RCC) is important for understanding baseline research capabilities of a health service and assessing the effectiveness of capacity-building and culture-improving interventions.
Aim
To describe the RCC of nurses and midwives in two health services in Western Australia.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey of nurses and midwives was undertaken using a previously validated RCC tool to measure RCC in individual, professional group, and organisational domains, and identify barriers, enablers, and research activity. Staff at each health service were recruited via email during a three-month period in 2022. Quantitative data were analysed for descriptive statistics. Qualitative comments underwent content analysis.
Results
Three hundred nurses and midwives completed the survey. Research capacity was low to moderate at the individual and group domains and moderate in the organisational domain. Participation in research activities was generally low. Top barriers for research involved lack of time and backfill, and other work roles taking priority, whilst top enablers were skill development, job satisfaction, and addressing identified problems. The results appeared similar across the two services.
Conclusions
The findings align with previous studies, indicating that research capacity continues to be limited for nurses and midwives. Organisations should acknowledge key barriers and enablers for research and implement targeted capacity-building and culture-improving strategies.
期刊介绍：
Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN).
The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues.
Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor.
The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription.
ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
