Investment in the research potential of nurses will ultimately benefit society. The purpose of this study was to survey nurses regarding barriers to participating in research studies.Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study using electronic surveys sent by email, and social media groups (WhatsApp). A total of 447 nurses agreed to participate in this study. Barriers were measured using the Barriers of Research Utilization (BRU) Scale.Results: More than half (53.3%) of the participants perceived the barriers to be high, whereas a small fraction (8.9%) perceived them as low. Barriers related to the organization scored the highest (P< 0.01) compared to the other domains (nurse, innovation, and communication). The regression analysis model showed that age, working experience, and nationality were associated with barriers to participate in research (P< 0.05).Conclusion: More than half of the nurses in Jordan perceived barriers to participating in research studies to be high. The barriers associated with the organization had more influence. A comprehensive approach should be developed to boost research utilization among nurses by overcoming the barriers identified in the current study.Keywords: barriers, nurses, research, clinical settings, research utilization |
