Wicked spell or magic bullet?: a review of the clinical supervision literature 2001–2007
No full textClinical supervision has become an established part of nursing. Implemented in various different ways it has attracted attention from the research, educator and practice communities. The literature reported and analysed in this paper describes work that may benefit professional practice but there continue to be questions about application and method. Two new messages arise from the literature. The first underscores the responsibility of health care organisations to sustain and develop clinical supervision and the second points to the potential benefit that clinical supervision may have on patient outcomes.<br/
Description, analysis, and evaluation of the health promotion model in the field of nursing students\u27 health
Get PDFUvod: Zdravje vključuje fizično, duševno in socialno blagostanje ter presega zgolj odsotnost bolezni. Promocija zdravja je temeljna naloga zdravstvene nege, saj prispeva k zmanjševanju zdravstvenih neenakosti in k višji kakovosti življenja. Model promocije zdravja Pender združuje kognitivne, vedenjske, okoljske dejavnike posameznika in nudi okvir za razumevanje zdravstvenega vedenja. Namen zaključnega dela je opisati, analizirati in evalvirati Model promocije zdravja teoretičarke Pender.
Metode: Opravili smo opis, analizo in vrednotenje teorije po modelu Pajnkihar (2013). Iskanje literature je potekalo v PubMed, EBSCOhost (CINAHL Ultimate in MEDLINE) in SAGE z vrednotenjem po hierarhiji dokazov in JBI orodjih.
Rezultati: V analizo je bilo vključenih osem raziskav. HPM je omogočil identifikacijo dejavnikov, kot so samoučinkovitost, ovire in socialna podpora, ki vplivajo na vedenje študentov glede gibanja, prehrane, obvladovanja stresa in e-zdravstvene pismenosti.
Diskusija in zaključek: Model je ustrezen teoretični okvir za preučevanje zdravega vedenja študentov zdravstvene nege saj omogoča prepoznavanje dejavnikov, kot so samoučinkovitost, socialna podpora in zdravstvena pismenost ter je učinkovit pri oblikovanju intervencij, ki izboljšujejo prehrano, telesno aktivnost, obvladovanje stresa in e-zdravstveno pismenost.Introduction: Health encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being and extends beyond the mere absence of disease. Health promotion is a fundamental task of nursing, as it contributes to reducing health inequalities and improving the quality of life. Pender’s Health Promotion Model integrates cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors of the individual and provides a framework for understanding health-related behaviors. The purpose was to describe, analyze, and evaluate Pender’s Health Promotion Model.
Methods: We conducted a description, analysis, and evaluation of the theory based on the model proposed by Pajnkihar (2013). The literature search was carried out in the databases PubMed, EBSCOhost (CINAHL Ultimate and MEDLINE), and SAGE, with evaluation conducted according to the hierarchy of evidence and JBI appraisal tools.
Results: Eight studies were included in the final analysis. The HPM enabled the identification of key factors such as self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social support that influence student behaviors related to physical activity, nutrition, stress management, and e-health literacy.
Discussion and Conclusion: The model is an appropriate theoretical framework for studying health behavior in nursing students, as it enables the identification of factors such as self-efficacy, social support, and health literacy. It is effective in designing interventions that improve nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and e-health literacy
On a generalization of the Constantin–Lax–Majda equation
Get PDFWe present evidence on the global existence of solutions of De Gregorio's equation, based on numerical computation and a mathematical criterion analogous to the Beale-Kato-Majda theorem. Its meaning in the context of a generalized Constantin-Lax-Majda equation will be discussed. We then argue that a convection term, if set in a proper form and in a proper magnitude, can deplete solutions of blow-up
Nurses' (Un)Partner-Like Relationships With Clients
No full textThe aim of a previous study was to describe nursing in Slovenia generally, and to identify the most appropriate nursing model for that country. One specific finding was the issue of partner-like relationships; this article deals with that issue only. An interpretive paradigm and qualitative research design were used with a modified grounded theory approach. Interviews were carried out with selected nursing leaders (n = 24) and other professionals (n = 6) in order to draw on their knowledge and experience to describe the reality of nursing phenomena. The results of this research suggest that participants wish to use a theory that emphasizes clients and treats them as equal partners in nursing, promotes health, and rests on interpersonal relationships. The participants described the missing or obscure parts in nursing and their own beliefs and values about human beings and nursing. Descriptions of and the need for partner-like relationships, and the specific elements of such relationships, were of main concern. The participants argued that nurses need high quality and continuing education to ensure competent nursing practice. The indication is that Slovenia should move to graduate and undergraduate nurse education to foster expert reflective practice in order to abolish routinized care carried out in a hierarchical system
HEALTH PROMOTION AND THE PROCESS OF IN INTEGRATION OF ADULTS INTO HEALTH EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS CINDI
Get PDFV magistrskem delu smo predstavili in opisali teorijo Skrbi avtorice Kristen M. Swanson ter prikazali njeno uporabnost v zdravstveno vzgojni delavnici CINDI. Predstavili smo tudi pomen promocije zdravja. Poskušali smo ugotoviti vzrok majhni napotitvi pacientov na zdravstveno vzgojo s strani osebnih izbranih zdravnikov.
Metodologija raziskovanja: Raziskava je temeljila na kvalitativni metodologiji in metodi utemeljene teorije. Potekala je v kliničnem okolju. V njej je sodelovalo deset zdravnikov splošne medicine, ena srednja medicinska sestra in udeleženci zdravstveno vzgojne delavnice CINDI. Za tehniko zbiranja podatkov smo izbrali delno strukturiran intervju. Podatke smo nato analizirali s pomočjo tematske analize.
Rezultati: Analiza rezultatov je pokazala, da so zdravniki sicer dobro seznanjeni z delovanjem zdravstveno vzgojnega centra, vendar v ambulantah paciente redko obveščajo o njegovem delovanju. Zavedajo se, da so odgovorni za napotitev pacientov v zdravstveno vzgojne delavnice in da s tem, ko jih napotijo, vplivajo na pacientovo skrb za lastno zdravje. Večina zdravnikov meni, da so za izvajanje celovite zdravstvene vzgoje v ambulantah preobremenjeni. Zelo pomembna je ugotovitev, da zdravniki opazijo pozitiven učinek zdravstvene vzgoje na zdravstveno stanje pacientov.
Sklep: Analiza odgovorov pacientov, ki so se udeležili zdravstveno vzgojnih delavnic v okviru CINDI programa je pokazala, da lahko teorijo Skrbi apliciramo tudi v zdravstveno vzgojo. Poglavitna vzroka za nizko število napotitev pacientov v zdravstveno vzgojne delavnice sta na eni strani preobremenjenost zdravnikov z delom v ambulantah, kar meni sedem zdravnikov, na drugi pa nizka notranja motivacija pacientov, s čimer se strinjajo vsi zdravniki. Rešitev problema vidimo v tem, da bi zdravniki zdravstveno vzgojne delavnice predstavljali kot sestavni del preventivnega pregleda in ne le kot eno izmed možnosti za zmanjševanje pojavnosti srčno žilnih bolezni.In our masters work we have presented and described Theory of caring by author Kristen M. Swanson. We have showed its applicability in a health educational workshop CINDI. We have also presented the meaning of health promotion and described the meaning and implementation of preventive check-ups and health education as essential measures in prevention of cardiovascular diseases. We have tried to identify the cause of low number of referrals given by chosen doctors.
Methodology of research: The research was based on qualitative methodology and the method of grounded theory.
Result: The analysis of information showed that the doctors are very well acquainted with the operation of health education center, however they rarely inform their patients about its activities. The doctors realize they are responsible for referring patients into health educational workshops because by doing so they affect their patients\u27 concern for their own health. Most of them believe they are overburdened to carry out a comprehensive health education in the outpatient clinic. The most important finding we came across is that the doctors notice a positive effect of health education on the medical condition of their patients.
Conclusion: The analysis of information acquired from the patients who participated in workshops in the framework of CINDI programme showed that Theory of caring can be applied to health education. According to seven doctors, the main reasons for a low number of referrals of patients into health educational workshops is on one side overburdening of doctors with work in their outpatient clinic and on the other low internal motivation of the patients, which is something all doctors agree on. We see the solution to this problem in doctors presenting these workshops to their patients as a compulsory part of a preventive check-up and not just as one of the options in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases
THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION IN NURSING
Get PDFKo se pojavi srčni zastoj, preživi manj kot 20 % hospitaliziranih pacientov. Kljub posodobitvam smernic za oživljanje in razvoju tehničnih pripomočkov za oživljanje je smrtnost pri zastoju srca in dihanja še vedno prevelika. Izvajanje oživljanja ni rutinsko delo in se ne izvaja tako pogosto kot ostalo vsakodnevno delo zdravstvenih delavcev. Je izjemno stresna situacija, saj je od pravočasnih in strokovno pravilnih reakcij zdravstvenega osebja odvisno pacientovo življenje. Namen magistrskega dela je predstaviti pomen širše opredeljenega izobraževanja oživljanja na področju zdravstvene nege.
Metodologija raziskovanja. Raziskava temelji na kvantitativni metodologiji. V vzorec raziskave smo vključili izvajalce zdravstvene nege, zaposlene v eni izmed splošnih bolnišnic v Sloveniji. Podatke smo zbirali s pomočjo metode spletnega anketiranja, preko katerega je bilo razposlanih 110 elektronskih povabil za sodelovanje v raziskavi. Statistično obdelavo in prikaz empiričnih podatkov smo izvedli s programoma SPSS Statistics 17.0 in Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
Rezultati. Več kot polovica (55 oz. 67 %) izvajalcev zdravstvene nege ocenjuje kot zelo potrebno vključevanje različnih vidikov v izobraževanje s področja oživljanja. 38 oz. 46 % izvajalcev zdravstvene nege pa meni, da je potrebno izvajati obnavljanje izobraževanja s področja oživljanja na 1 leto. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da se izvajalci zdravstvene nege zavedajo pomena kontinuiranosti in širšega pristopa kot dveh aspektov pripravljenosti za ohranjanje pravočasnega in učinkovitega izvajanja postopkov oživljanja v realnih situacijah. Posledično se zavedajo, da takšen način izobraževanja pripomore k njihovemu strokovnemu in profesionalnemu delu na področju oživljanja.
Sklep. Dolžnost izvajanja oživljanja je del poklicne obveznosti zdravstvenega delavca. Pri izvajanju te dolžnosti je nedopustno, da pride do poslabšanja zdravstvenega stanja pacienta ali celo smrti zaradi nepoznavanja nalog v timu za oživljanje, pomanjkanja znanja s področja oživljanja ali strahu pred nepoznavanjem uporabe defibrilatorja in ostale opreme za oživljanje. S širšim in kontinuiranim izobraževanjem s področja oživljanja v zdravstveni ustanovi lahko vplivamo na zmanjševanje pojava omenjenih napak in na pravočasno in učinkovito izvedeno izvajanje oživljanja. S takšnim načinom dela lahko nudimo vitalno ogroženemu pacientu po srčnem zastoju optimalno možnost preživetja.At the occurrence of a cardiac arrest, less than 20 % of hospitalized patients survive. Despite the updated guidelines in the area of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the more developed resuscitation technical devices the mortality due to respiratory and heart arrest remains too high. An event of resuscitation is not routine work and does not occur as often as the rest of the daily work in nursing care. It is an extremely stressful experience because a patient\u27s life depends on the timely and professionally adequate reactions of health professionals. The aim of this master\u27s thesis is to present the importance of broader aspects of teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation in nursing.
Research methodology. The research is based on quantitative methodology. The research sample comprised of nurses with one of the general hospitals in Slovenia. A web-based survey method was used. 110 electronic invitations for participation in research were sent out altogether. The data were statistically processed using the SPSS Statistics 17.0, and Microsoft Office Excel 2007 programmes.
The Results. Fifty-five nurses (67 %) considered the involvement of various aspects of education in the field of resuscitation very necessary. Thirty-eight nurses (46 %) believe that it is necessary to implement refreshment courses of education and training in the field of resuscitation on a yearly basis. Results of the survey show that they are aware of the importance of continuity and broader approach as two aspects of increasing their knowledge and improving their skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in real situations. They are also aware that such a manner of education contributes to their expertise, and professional work in the field of resuscitation.
Conclusion. The duty of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a part of the professional obligations of all health professionals. When implementing these obligations, the lack of knowledge of individual roles in a resuscitation team, lack of knowledge in the field of resuscitation or fear of insufficient skills using a defibrillator and/or other equipment for resuscitation leading to deterioration of a patient’s health or even their death, are inadmissible. A narrower and continuous training in the field of resuscitation within medical institutions can have a positive impact on reducing the occurrence of these errors and can influence the timely, as effective as possible and successful implementation of resuscitation procedures. Such a method of work can help us provide our patients the optimum chance of survival following a cardiac arrest
Incidence and management of stress among students of nursing care
Get PDFIzhodišča: Vsak posameznik kdaj v življenju doživlja stres, zaradi katerega se lahko počuti ogroženo. Do stresa prihaja že tekom izobraževanja, zato predstavlja te del vsakdanjega življenja študentov. Namen zaključnega dela je raziskati pojavnost stresa in strategije obvladovanja stresa med študenti zdravstvene nege.
Raziskovalne metode: Izvedba raziskave je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji. Uporabili smo opisno metodo dela. Podatke smo zbrali s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Za analizo hipotez smo uporabili hi-kvadrat preizkus in binomski test.
Rezultati: V raziskavi je 74,1 % študentov ocenilo, da doživlja zmerno stopnjo stresa. Rezultati glede na spol so pokazali, da so tako študenti kot študentke doživljali podobno stopnjo stresa (χ2 = 1,252p = 0,535), prav tako so redni in izredni študenti poročali o podobni stopnji stresa (χ2 = 2,531p = 0,282). Študenti tretjega letnika so navajali višjo stopnjo stresa v primerjavi s študenti prvega letnika (χ2 = 11,970p = 0,003).
Diskusija in zaključek: Študenti zdravstvene nege se med izobraževanjem poleg vsakdanjih težav srečujejo tudi z izobraževalnimi in kliničnimi stresorji. Večinoma uporabljajo pozitivne mehanizme obvladovanja stresa. Uspešno obvladovanje stresa pripomore k zmanjšanju negativnega učinka na zdravje.Objectives: Every individual experiences stress in everyday life that can make them feel threatened. Stress already occurs during education and is a part of students\u27 daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of stress and stress management strategies among nursing students.
Research methods: The research was based on a quantitative methodology. We used a descriptive method of work. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire. A chi-square and binomial test were used to analyze the hypotheses.
Results: In study, 74.1% of students rated moderate stress. According to gender, the results showed that both students experienced similar level of stress (χ2 = 1.252p = 0.535). Similar levels of stress were also reported by full-time and part-time students (χ2 = 2.531p = 0.282). Third-year students reported higher levels of stress compared to first-year students (χ2 = 11,970p = 0.003).
Discussion and conclusion: Nursing students face academic and clinical stressors in addition to their day-to-day problems. Most of them use positive stress management mechanisms. Successful stress management helps to reduce the negative impact on health
Informing providing and health education for parents and children undergoing operative removal of tonsills or adenoids
Get PDFPri otrocih se zelo pogosto srečujemo z vnetnimi obolenji žrela in srednjega ušesa in njihovimi posledicami, katerih vzrok je lahko povečana žrelnica ali nebnici. Rešitev za prekinitev obolevnosti je operativna odstranitev žrelnice ali nebnic. Ker je vsaka hospitalizacija za otroka stresna, prav tako pa tudi za starše, moramo zagotoviti zadostno količino informacij za starše, da lahko otroka dobro pripravijo na hospitalizacijo. Starše je potrebno seznaniti tudi z otrokovimi pravicami. Vedno moramo poskrbeti za otrokovo varnost in v vse aktivnosti vključevati starše. Ves čas hospitalizacije izvajamo zdravstveno vzgojo staršev in otroka, jih seznanimo z vsemi posebnostmi po operativnem posegu in kako mora potekati oskrba otroka doma. Z raziskavo v magistrski nalogi smo želeli ugotoviti, ali so starši zadostno informirani o hospitalizaciji otroka in kakšna je njihova zaskrbljenost. Prav tako smo želeli ugotoviti, kdo od zdravstvenih delavcev podaja staršem informacije.
Raziskovalna metodologija. V raziskavi je bila uporabljena kvantitativna metodologija. Za kvantitativne podatke je bil uporabljen program PASW, s pomočjo katerega smo, glede na raziskovalna vprašanja, potrjevali raziskovalne hipoteze s statističnimi testi, χ2 test in t-test. Raziskovalni vzorec je zajemal 80 staršev otrok, starih od 2 do 6 let, ki so bili hospitalizirani na ORL oddelku splošne bolnišnice, 27 medicinskih sester in 3 zdravstvene tehnike, ki so v času raziskave izvajali zdravstveno nego otroka.
Rezultati. Dva izdelana vprašalnika sta nam zagotovila zadovoljive rezultate za ugotovitve, na katerem področju moramo naše delo še izpopolniti.
Sklep. Starši otrok so zadostno informirani o hospitalizaciji otroka, njihova zaskrbljenost in prestrašenost pa ni odvisna od sobivanja starša z otrokom.Inflammatory diseases of the pharynx and middle ear with their complications are very common in childhood. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids can be the cause. The treatment includes surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids. Every hospitalization is stressful for the children, as well as for the parents. Sufficient quantity of information must be given to the parents, so they can adequately prepare themselves for the hospitalization. Parents must also be informed of their child’s rights. The child’s safety must always be our priority and parents must be included in every activity concerning their child. Health education of the whole family must be done during the hospitalization. We inform them of the child’s postoperative treatment and homecare. Our goal was to research the level of parental knowledge and of their anxiousness. We also wanted to establish who among health care workers passes information to the parents.
Methods. In this research we used quantitative methodology. The data was analyzed with the PASW program. The later was used to confirm the hypothesis with statistical tests, the χ2– test and t-test. The sample included 80 parents with hospitalized children, aged 2 to 6 years, in the ENT ward and 30 health care workers working there.
Results. Two questionnaires were used to obtain satisfactory data, to stress point the areas where we have to improve.
Discussion. Parents are adequately informed of their child’s hospitalization. Their concern and anxiousness do not depend on the concept of rooming-in
Nursing care of an adolescent with eating disorder
Get PDFTeoretično izhodišče: Motnje hranjenja so duševne motnje, ki se kažejo kot globoke duševne in čustvene stiske ter nesprejemanje samega sebe. Obolele osebe se izognejo bolečim čustvom in problemom s preusmerjanjem vse svoje energije na hrano in hranjenje. V zadnjih desetletjih so omenjene motnje v porastu, še vedno pa so pogosto prepoznane pozno, ko so že prišle v kronično fazo, kar zdravljenje zelo otežuje.
Namen: V diplomskem delu smo predstavili osnovne vrste motenj hranjenja, njihov razvoj in posledice, diagnosticiranje, razširjenost v svetu in Sloveniji, njihovo preprečevanje ter zdravljenje. Predstavili smo tudi vlogo medicinske sestre pri mladostniku z motnjami hranjenja in izpostavili najpomembnejše negovalne diagnoze za določeno vrsto motenj.
Metodologija raziskovanja: Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, koliko so mladostniki v osnovni šoli seznanjeni z današnjim problemom motenj hranjenja. Poleg tega smo želeli ugotoviti dejavnike tveganja za nastanek motenj hranjenja. Za zbiranje podatkov smo kot instrument raziskovanja uporabili anketo, ki je obsegala 26 vprašanj, od tega 20 odprtega in 6 vprašanj zaprtega tipa. Raziskava je bila izvedena v mesecu maju 2010, na anketna vprašanja so odgovarjali osnovnošolci šestega, sedmega, osmega in devetega razreda.
Rezultati: Podatki, ki smo jih pridobili z raziskavo kažejo, da mladostniki v osnovni šoli kar v 95% poznajo motnje hranjenja. Rezultati so pokazali, da najbolje poznajo izraz anoreksijo in bulimijo nervozo in njune značilnosti. Najmanj so seznanjeni z kompulzivnim prenajedanjem. Osnovnošolci so tudi potrdili, da vedo dovolj o posledicah motenj hranjenja ter, da vedo, kam bi se v primeru težav obrnili po pomoč.
Sklep: Iz raziskave je razvidno, da so motnje hranjenja celovit zdravstveni problem, v katerem se povezujejo telesni, vedenjski in psihološki vplivi. Z ustreznim zdravljenjem in voljo pacientov se vse motnje hranjenja da premagati.Theoretical starting - point: Eating disorders are mental disorders, which are expressed as deep mental and emotional distress as well as non-acceptance of oneself. People with eating disorders try to avoid painful emotions and problems by redirecting all of their energy to food and eating. Over the last decades, eating disorders increased and sadly, they are still often detected very late, when they have entered a chronic stage, which makes it more difficult to treat them.
Purpose: In the diploma thesis, the most common forms of eating disorders are presented as well as their course of development and their consequences, the diagnoses, prevalence worldwide and in Slovenia in particular, their prevention and treatment. We get acquainted with the situation of a nurse dealing with an adolescent having eating disorders and also the most important nursing diagnoses are exposed for certain forms of disorders.
Research methodology: The research was based on quantitative methodology. For the purpose of writing this thesis, Slovene as well as foreign reference books were studied. A survey was conducted to find out to which extent primary-school youth is familiar with today’s problem – eating disorders. At the same time, we wanted to determine potential risk factors for the occurrence of eating disorders. For the purpose of collecting data, a questionnaire was chosen as a research instrument. The questionnaire comprised 26 questions, 20 of which were open and 6 were closed question types. The survey was carried out in May 2010, the questions were answered by pupils from the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grade.
Results: The data collected from the survey has shown that 95 % of the primary-school pupils are acquainted with eating disorders. The results have shown that they are best acquainted with the terms anorexia and bulimia nervosa as well as with their characteristicsthey are however the least acquainted with compulsive overeating. Primary-school pupils have also confirmed they know enough about the consequences of eating disorders and where to turn to for help if they were facing problems.
Conclusion: The research shows that eating disorders are an integrated health problem where physical, behavioural and psychological influences intertwine. With proper treatment and the patient’s strong will power, all eating disorders can be overcom
Attitude and barriers of nursing care students towards research
Get PDFUvod: Raziskovanje v zdravstveni negi predstavlja vodilo klinične prakse za kakovostno in varno oskrbo pacientov. Raziskave kažejo, da imajo študenti pozitiven odnos do raziskovanja, vendar pa se pri tem srečujejo s številnimi ovirami. Namen zaključnega dela je bil raziskati odnos in zaznavanje ovir študentov zdravstvene nege do raziskovalnega dela.
Metode: Izvedena je bila presečno opazovalna raziskava s kvantitativno metodologijo raziskovanja. Podatki so bili zbrani z anketnima vprašalnikoma na priložnostnem vzorcu študentov zdravstvene nege (n = 219). Statistična analiza je bila izvedena s programsko opremo IBM SPSS 23.0 in metodo opisne ter sklepne statistike.
Rezultati: V povprečju je imelo 80 % anketiranih študentov pozitiven odnos do raziskovanja (M = 136,93SD = 30,88p < 0,001). Ugotovljena je bila statistično značilna razlika v odnosu do raziskovanja glede na letnik (p < 0,001) in stopnjo študija (p < 0,001). Kot največjo oviro v raziskovanju so študenti ocenili kompleksnost raziskovalnega procesa (M = 3,95SD = 0,68) ter okoljske ovire (M = 3,53SD = 0,59). Razlik v zaznavanju ovir glede na prejšnje izkušnje z raziskovalnim delom ni bilo ugotovljenih (p = 0,098). Potrjena pa je bila negativna statistično značilna povezava med odnosom do raziskovanja in zaznavanjem ovir v raziskovanju (rs(219) = -0,554, p < 0,001).
Razprava in sklep: Pozitiven odnos do raziskovanja je pomemben element uporabe na dokazih utemeljene zdravstvene nege v kliničnem okolju. Odnos do raziskovanja med študenti je treba ohranjati in nadgrajevati, pri tem pa študente opremiti z znanjem in veščinami za uspešno odpravo ovir pri raziskovanju.Introduction: Nursing research represents a guide for safe and quality clinical practice. Research shows that nursing students\u27 attitudes towards research are positive, but they face many barriers when conducting research. The aim of the study was to explore nursing students\u27 attitude towards research and their perception of research barriers.
Methods: A cross-sectional research using quantitative research methodology was conducted. Data were gathered using two survey questionnaires and a convenience sample of nursing students (n = 219). Data analysis was carried out using the IBM SPSS 23.0 software, descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: In average, 80% of surveyed nursing students had positive attitudes towards research (M = 136.93, SD = 30.88p < 0.001). Statistically significant difference was found between attitude towards research and the year (p < 0.001) and degree of study (p < 0,001). Students assessed that the highest barrier for conducting research was the research process complexity (M = 3.95, SD = 0.68) and environmental barriers (M = 3.53, SD = 0.59). There were no significant differences between perception of research barriers and previous research experiences (p = 0.098). There was also statistically significant negative correlation between attitude towards research and the perception of research barriers (rs(219) = -0.554, p < 0.001).
Discussion and conclusion: Positive attitudes towards research are a fundamental component of the utilization of evidence-based practice. Nursing students\u27 attitude towards research should be continuously maintained and upgraded. Furthermore, students should be equipped with knowledge and skills to reduce the research barriers
