A Cross Sectional Study to Assess the Barriers to Research Utilization among Registered Nurses Working in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Introduction:Despite the increasing quantity of Nursing Researches and of improving the quality of Nursing Researches; incorporating research results into clinical practice remains a significant challenge.The development and continuation of the professional status in Nursing should include an increased awareness of the need for a research-based practice and scientific knowledge generated from it to guide and improve clinical practice. Recommendation: Future research on these barriers/ facilitators and their relationships with occupational and socio-cultural factors amongNurses and Physicians is recommended. Also translating the Nursing Research findings into implementation with the help of administrative support can generate a better attitude towards Evidence Based Practice. Conclusions: Enhancing the knowledge of the Nurses with the agreement and support of the administrationabout Evidenced Based Nursing practice can to a great extent help in bridging the gap between Research and Research Utilization.
