abstract: 'Little is known about the research aspirations and experiences of
practice nurses. The study discussed in the present paper had three main
aims: (1) to assess the level of research interest among practice nurses
working in Essex and East London, UK; (2) to identify practice nurses''
research priorities; and (3) to explore factors which facilitate and
impede the development of practice nursing research. All practice nurses
(n = 1054) in the above areas were sent a questionnaire, and a total of
40\% (n = 426) responded after two follow-up letters. Fifty-five
respondents who volunteered for further participation were interviewed,
either individually or in focus groups. About half (n = 207) of the
survey respondents expressed an interest in undertaking research.
One-third (n = 145) reported previous participation in research, and
20\% (n = 85) had initiated their own research. Logistic regression
showed that practice nurses educated to graduate level, and those
working in practices with nurse training or participation in external
research, were most likely to want to undertake research. Working in a
medical training practice was found to be a negative predictor of
research interest. Respondents prioritised research into long-term
health problems with a high prevalence in the local population; for
example, diabetes. Their reasons for wishing to engage in research
included improving the service, career development, making work more
interesting and reducing isolation. The main barriers identified were
lack of time, lack of support from some general practitioners and poor
access to higher education resources outside formal courses. The
development of practice nurse research would provide a distinctive
perspective on health need and service provision. It would contribute to
the achievement of the national strategic objective of improving the
quality of primary care, enhance the status of the profession, utilise
the enthusiasm of individuals, increase job satisfaction and staff
retention, and answer real questions.'
