Valuing Research
A nurse’s attitude towards research has been shown to be an important correlate of the use of research-based evidence in decisions (Champion & Leach, 1989). Bostrum and Suter (1993) showed that involvement of nurses as collaborators or data collectors in research activity (as opposed to research utilisation) is a significant predictor f a positive attitude to research. Although some studies suggest that not all elements of the research process are niversally valued. Specifically, only half of Robichaud-Ekstrand and Sherrard’s (1994) sample of cardiac nursesattached a positive valuation to data collection, and even fewer when the data being collected was for a nonnursing tudy.
The relationship between knowledge, age and experience is obviously a conceptually difficult area and it is clear hat the problems of separating the confounding effects of each are far from resolved in nursing research. The verall picture regarding the relationship between variables located within the individual and the use of researchbased vidence in decision making is at best inconclusive. For some commentators this represents the relative lack f impact that individually-located variables have on research-based decision making generally (Varcoe & Hilton, 995)., 百拇医药
