Objective: Research utilization is a major component in nursing practices however it is known that research results are not employed sufficiently. Nurses need to utilize the research results for safe and excellent care. The purpose of this research is to determine barriers, facilitators and factors affecting research utilization by clinic nurses. Material and Methods: It is a descriptive and crosssectional research. The sample of the research was constituted by 523 nurses (accessibility: 52.3%) providing patient care at the clinics of a total of nine hospitals consisting of one university hospital, two public hospitals and six private hospitals. The data were collected by means of Research Utilization Barriers Scale and the structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Kruskall Wallis test and Mann Whitney-U test were used to analyze the data. Results: The clinic nurses emphasized as the most important barrier that "the nurse does not have time to read research" (78.2%). They also stated that the most important facilitators in respect to research utilization were "easy access to internet and research results" and "institutive and administrative support for research activities". This study revealed that nurses perceived the settings and the lack of time as the greatest barriers in using research findings. Conclusion: The primary research utilization barrier is related to setting. With the intent of increasing the research utilization, it can be suggested to make necessary arrangements in terms of providing easy access to research results for nurses and increasing corporate and management support.

Amaç: Araştırma kullanımı hemşirelik uygulamalarının önemli bir bileşeni olmakla birlikte, araştırma sonuçlarının yeterince kullanılmadığı bilinmektedir. Hemşirelerin araştırma sonuçlarını güvenli ve etkili bir bakım için kullanmaları gerekmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı klinik hemşirelerin araştırma kullanımını etkileyen engelleri, kolaylaştırıcıları ve faktörleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir üniversite, iki devlet ve altı özel hastane olmak üzere toplam dokuz hastanenin kliniklerinde hasta bakımı veren 523 hemşire (ulaşılma oranı: %52,3) oluşturmuştur. Veriler Araştırma Kullanım Engelleri Ölçeği ve yapılandırılmış soru formu ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Kruskall Wallis ve Mann Whitney-U testleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Klinik hemşireleri "araştırma okuyacak zamanlarının olmaması"nı (%78,2) en önemli engel olarak belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca, araştırma kullanımında en önemli kolaylaştırıcıların "internet ve araştırma sonuçlarına ulaşma kolaylığı" ve "araştırma faaliyetleri için kurum ve yönetici desteği" olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Bu çalışma hemşirelerin araştırma sonuçlarını kullanmada, zaman sıkıntısı ve kurumları en büyük engel olarak algıladıklarını ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç: Birincil araştırma kullanım engeli kurum ile ilgilidir. Araştırma kullanımını artırmak için hemşirelerin araştırma sonuçlarına kolay ulaşmalarının sağlanması, kurum ve yönetim desteğinin arttırılması açısından gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılmasını önerilebilir.
