Abstract

Research utilization refers to the use of some aspect of a study in an application unrelated to the original research. Aim: was to investigate the facilitators and barriers for research utilization among bachelor nurses. Methods: A descriptive study design was conducted at Ain Shams University hospitals. The subjects: All bachelor nurses (105). Tool: A self-administered questionnaire including a scale for the facilitators and barriers to use research in practice was used in data collection. Results: Enhancing managerial support was the greatest facilitator for research utilization. The setting-related barriers were the top greatest barriers for research utilization. Conclusion: Research utilization has not been widely implemented yet in Ain Shams University Hospitals. Enhancing managerial support was the greatest facilitator for research utilization. The setting-related barriers were the top greatest barriers for research utilization. Recommendations: Small libraries containing recent research articles should be established in each unit, and electronic databases should be available for all the nurses at least in each unit or department.
