A nursing research utilization strategy for staff nurses in the acute care setting.
The importance of research-based nursing practice is well recognized. However, typically, strategies to incorporate research findings into nursing practice have not been evaluated in terms of staff nurse outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a research utilization strategy for staff nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit of a community teaching hospital. This project was intended to serve as a model for the incorporation of research findings into nursing practice on other nursing units in the acute care setting.
