Abstract:   (15895 Views)
Abstract Introduction: The nursing profession has long recognized the importance of performing researches as an essentiality of its task. More scientific knowledge can be obtained to improve the care provided by nurses and the health care systems. This research has been performed to determine the barriers in the way of doing researches as considered by nurses and midwives working at Shahr-e-Kord`s hospitals. Materials & methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study , the instrument for data collection was questionnaire. These questionaires were provided on the basis of valid scientific sources & liqurt scales. For data analysis, the T-test and Chi-square test were used. Findings : Out of the 300 questionnaires distributed among nurses & midwives , 238 ones (73.9%) were received back. The results showed that mean of organizational barriers was more than that of personal ones (p<0/0001). Inadequate time was clearly the greatest barrier of participation in clinical researches , lack of technical & consultative support , demotivation , poor command on English language and non-profitablity were also known as major barriers to decide on doing researches . Unintendency toward research , limited benefit of researches to their patients & ethical concerns were relatively considered minor barriers. Conclusion: It is concluded that these barriers must be removed by the research officials & hospital managers. The most important factor was perceived to be organizational support particularly in under-graduate and pastgraduate courses so that any nurse or midwife thinks of a scientific study as a promotive point in his/her profession.
