E A Hefferin, and J A Horsley, and M R Ventura

As the practice of research increasingly becomes a part of the nursing profession, nurses must develop their ability to evaluate and incorporate the findings gained through the research process. This article reports the results of a survey aimed at determining problem areas existing among nursing staffs in understanding, accepting, and incorporating research findings. The report will help nursing administrators identify specific factors that inhibit the use of research findings and improve the conditions for incorporating research in their facilities.
