Jordanian National Study of Nurses’ Barriers to Participating in Research

Background: The nurses are the healthcare providers and researchers in critical institutions that provided health care for all people, and society needs to invest in them. The purpose of this study was to survey nurses regarding barriers to participate in research studies.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. A total of 447 nurses agreed to participate in the study. Barriers were measured using Barriers of Research Utilization Scale (BRU). Results: More than half (53.3%) of the sample perceived the barriers to be high, whereas 8.9% perceived it as low. Barriers related to the organization scored the highest (P<0.01) compared to the other domains (nurse, innovation and communication).Regression analysis model showed that age, working experience, and nationality were associated with barriers to participate in research.Conclusion: More than half of the nurses in Jordan perceived the barriers of participation in research to be high. The barriers associated with the organization had more influence. A comprehensive approach should be developed to boost participation in research by significantly improving managerial support since it may be the most productive facilitator.
