Abstract
Objectives
This study was performed to determine the barriers to the implementation of nursing
research findings, as perceived by the nurses working in the Eastern Anatolian Region.
Methods
The study was performed in the Eastern Anatolian Region between April and July 2009.
A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Thirteen hospitals were randomly
selected using a cluster sampling technique, encompassing general hospitals in all
cities of this region. A total of 1094 nurses who agreed to participate in the study
were included. The data was collected with a questionnaire and “Barriers Scale”. Average,
percentage distribution, and parametric statistical tests were used in data analyses.
Conclusion
According to the Barriers Scale, it was determined that the most important impediment
perceived by the nurses was “insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas”.
The average point of overall scale was found to be 68.38 ± 14.66.
