title: Psychiatric nurses' attitudes toward and involvement in nursing research.
abstract: 1. The three major blocks to clinical nursing research are lack of time, knowledge, and administrative support. 2. Positive attitudes toward nursing research were found to be related to nurses' advanced levels of education. 3. Two strategies to foster the development of research skills are inservice education classes and individualized guided learning experiences. 4. Two essential resources for staff who are expected to engage in clinical research activities are statistical consultation and clerical services.
