Tóm tắt

Background: Nursing research plays a critical role in advancing clinical practice and improving the quality of patient care. Despite its importance, nurses' research engagement remains limited due to a range of barriers. Understanding the research engagement and related factors can help guide strategies to enhance research implementation among nurses. Objectives: To evaluate the research engagement among nurses at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and to identify related factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 119 nurses using an adapted version of the “Motivations and Barriers in Nursing Research” questionnaire. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: The overall level of research engagement was evaluated as high (3.58 ± 0.44). Motivation and opportunity were both evaluated highly (4.00 ± 0.50 and 3.65 ± 0.50, respectively), whereas capability was rated moderately (3.13 ± 0.70). Factors significantly related to research engagement included professional qualification, research training, and research experience. Conclusions: Although nurses reported high levels of motivation and opportunity for engaging in research, limited research capability remains a key barrier. Enhancing educational preparation and institutional support is essential to fostering sustained and meaningful research engagement among nurses.
