Clinical Report: Enhancing Research Engagement Among Nurses via a Specialized Clinic

Overview

Revise to only include findings that are directly supported by the source material.

Background

The integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) is essential for quality healthcare, yet a theory-to-practice gap persists in nursing, hindering optimal patient outcomes. Barriers such as inadequate mentorship and limited resources contribute to this gap, necessitating structured interventions to enhance research engagement among nurses. The CREATE model aims to address these barriers and promote a culture of inquiry within nursing.

Data Highlights

Key Findings

• Significant improvement in total NRCSAS scores from pre- to post-intervention.
• Effect sizes ranged from medium to large, with the largest improvement in data processing (d = 1.47).
• Early-stage productivity included one journal publication, three national presentations, three patents, and four funded projects.
• Qualitative themes included transformation from apprehension to empowerment and the role of mentorship.
• Institutional recognition was noted as a factor in legitimizing research efforts.

Clinical Implications

The CREATE model effectively enhances nursing research competencies and fosters a supportive inquiry culture. Implementing similar frameworks may help bridge the research-practice divide in nursing.
