ABSTRACT
This quaiitative study was designed to gain insight into
nurses’ perceptions of what influences the utilisation of
research findings in practice. A grounded theory approach
was adopted, based on in-depth interviews with four
registered nurses working in a comprehensive Accident
and Emergency department in a large urban hospitai in
Britain. It emerged that many personal and professional
issues miiitated against the nurses using research findings
in practice and the categories that were considered
important influencing issues in the utilisation process
were; f) the nurse e.g. interest and knowledge, 2) the
nursing profession e.g. research not professionally
respected, 3) the working environment e.g. lack of time
and managerial support, 4) research and practice e.g. the
nature of research, 5) communication of research findings.
The results indicate that research findings are hardly used
by nurses in this A&E and the above categories were also
interpreted as barriers of integrating research findings, as
an inseparable part, into the A&E practice.
Keywords: nursing, research utilisation, barriers to
research, research dissemination.

12. maí, alþjóðadagur hjúkrunarfræðinga, verður í ár helgaður báráttu gegn ofbeldi. í fréttatilkynningu frá ICN segir að
mörg helstu heilbrigðisvandamál og dauðsföll um heim allan megi rekja til ofbeldis. Ofbeldi sé einnig alvarlegt brot á
mannréttindum og virðingarleysi fyrir þeim sem það beinist gegn. Ofbeldi þurfi því að uppræta í hvaða mynd sem það
birtist, hvort sem það er á heimilum, vinnustöðum eða á almannafæri. Á ári hverju látist 2 milljónir manna vegna áverka
sem þeir hafa hlotið af völdum ofbeldis. Mun fleiri verði fyrir meiðslum sem valda þeim ævarandi skaða. Auk þess
veldur ofbeldi varanlegri geðröskun, kynsjúkdómum, ótímabærum þungunum og hegðunan/andamálum, svo sem
svefn- og átröskunum. Hjúkrunarfræðingar glíma oft í starfi sínu við fórnarlömb ofbeldis og þeim er þrisvar sinnum
hættara við að verða fyrir ofbeldi í starfi en öðrum starfsstéttum. Þar sem meirihluti hjúkrunarfræðinga er konur er þeim
einnig hættara við að verða fyrir ofbeldi í einkalífi. ICN mun í samvinnu við Alþjóðaheilbrigðismálastofnunina og
Alþjóðavinnumálastofnunina efna til herferðar gegn ofbeldi. Félag íslenskra hjúkrunarfræðinga verður með dagskrá í
ráðhúsinu í tilefni dagsins og verður hún auglýst síðar.
