Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between demographic, professional and other personal nurse characteristics, social support factors and comfort in conducting research with nurses' level of active participation in clinical research.

Design

A prospective, cross-sectional, correlational design was used.

Methods

Clinical nurses working in a multihospital healthcare system were recruited by email to complete an anonymous survey that used multiple valid and reliable scales to assess demographic and professional work characteristics, curiosity, grit, locus of control, perceived social support (for research activities), comfort in conducting research, and level of being research-active. Univariate and multivariable analyses were completed.

Results

Of 310 participants, 274 (88.4%) were female and mean (SD) age was 42.9 (13.1) years. After condensing 11 levels of research activity to four categories, 179 (57.7%) were not research-active, and 91 (29.4%), 26 (8.3%) and 14 (4.5%) were engaged at low, moderate, and high levels, respectively. Of 78 factors, 69 (88.5%) were associated with being research-active in univariate analyses. In multivariable analysis that adjusted for age, personal experience as a patient, years as a nurse and hours in direct patient care, professionalism characteristics, higher curiosity, internal locus of control, grit perseverance, support of a nurse scientist and nurse friends, and comfort in conducting research remained associated with higher levels of being research-active (all p < 0.01).

Conclusion

Research-active nurses were more likely to be engaged professionally in hospital-based activities beyond their work roles and displayed higher levels of positive psychological characteristics and mentorship that supported research capacity.

Clinical Relevance

Research-active nurses were more likely to have internal factors and external resources that promoted higher levels of being research-active. A strong professional governance model may enhance clinical nurses research activities.

护士的个人、专业和工作特点与参与医院临床研究之间的关系。

目的：本研究旨在评估护士的人口统计学特征、职业特征和其他个人特征、社会支持因素以及开展研究的舒适度与护士积极参与临床研究的程度之间的关联：设计：采用前瞻性、横断面、相关性设计：通过电子邮件招募在一家多医院医疗系统工作的临床护士完成匿名调查，该调查采用多个有效可靠的量表来评估人口统计学和专业工作特征、好奇心、勇气、控制感、感知到的社会支持（对研究活动的支持）、开展研究的舒适度以及积极参与研究的程度。我们完成了单变量和多变量分析：在 310 名参与者中，274 人（88.4%）为女性，平均年龄为 42.9（13.1）岁。将研究活动的 11 个等级分为四类后，179 人（57.7%）不从事研究活动，91 人（29.4%）、26 人（8.3%）和 14 人（4.5%）分别从事低、中和高水平的研究活动。在单变量分析中，78 个因素中有 69 个（88.5%）与研究活跃度相关。在调整了年龄、作为病人的个人经历、作为护士的年限和直接护理病人的小时数、专业精神特征、较高的好奇心、内部控制感、坚韧不拔的精神、科学家护士和护士朋友的支持以及开展研究的舒适度等因素后进行的多变量分析中，较高的研究积极性仍然与较高的研究积极性相关（均为 p）：积极从事研究的护士更有可能以专业身份参与其工作角色之外的医院活动，并表现出更高水平的积极心理特征和支持研究能力的指导：临床相关性：积极从事科研的护士更有可能拥有促进其积极从事科研的内部因素和外部资源。强有力的专业管理模式可促进临床护士的研究活动。
