Abstract
In Turkey, obtaining medical knowledge and research should be an integral part of nursing practices. The research was to determine nurses’ opinions related to research culture. The population of this descriptive research consisted of nurses working in a university hospital in the departments of internal medicine, orthopaedics, gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry units in a university hospital (N=840). The research was carried out with 157 nurses that volunteered to participate by non-probability sampling method. The study data was collected from a form which assessed the opinion of nurses towards the organizational research culture and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers that included questions concerning the socio-demographic features. Approximately 91% of nurses regard research as beneficial for nursing. It was stated by 57.9% of the nurses that nurses working in clinics were not interested in research, 57.3% do not read research articles, 77.7% do not have a subscription to journals, 57.3% do not base their practices on research results, and 61.7% do not collaborate in research activities undertaken by academic nurses. These findings are positive evaluations concerning the elements that constitute organizational research culture. Their research activities are limited; their ability to read and comment on existing research is inadequate. In order to change this situation, a structure which will facilitate cooperation among nursing schools, hospitals, nurses and the academic staff is needed.
