Background: The author is a professional doctorate student and full-time nurse in an education role in a UK NHS Trust. COVID-19 caused a major disruption to her research, which focused on nursing workforce development in primary care. She received ethical approval for the research in February 2020 and had just begun to collect data as the country entered its first period of lockdown and all activity not related directly to COVID-19 was sidelined.
Aim: To share the author's reflections on this experience and make recommendations that may help others whose research is disrupted.
Discussion: The author had not considered in her plans the disruption that would be caused by COVID-19, but she adapted her study's design to minimise some of its effects and also discovered some new opportunities.
Conclusion: Nurse researchers whose studies are disrupted can adapt to overcome the challenges and try to find new opportunities.
Implications for practice: The author hopes that sharing her reflections will encourage other nurse researchers who face unexpected disruptions to their research.
Background: In healthcare implementation research, there is little discussion of researchers' experiences of using frameworks, including the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
Aim: To identify and discuss the benefits and challenges encountered and the lessons learnt from researchers' experiences of using the CFIR in different contexts and phases of research.
Discussion: This article synthesises the reflections of nursing and public health researchers on their experiences of using the CFIR across four separate healthcare-associated infection prevention and control implementation studies. The CFIR's benefits and challenges, the resolutions to these challenges and the lessons learnt from the application of the framework were discussed.
Conclusions: Identified benefits included the framework's adaptability and flexibility, and its provision of structure and shared language for research. Translation to another language and differentiating between domains and constructs were challenges.
Implications for practice: Nurse researchers may find this article useful when considering use of the CFIR, or to anticipate and prepare to overcome the challenges highlighted when using the framework.
