    Notes: Swedish nurses’ attitudes towards research and development within nursing Aim of the study. The aim was to develop and test an assessment instrument in order to study attitudes towards research and development within nursing among randomly selected professional nurses, registered nurses (RNs). Background. The investigation was initiated because of the development within nursing and nursing education in Sweden towards better knowledge about research for the last four decades. Methods. A questionnaire was designed, consisting of three parts: (1) demographic data, (2) attitude scale and (3) research awareness. Appropriate psychometric statistics were used such as factor analysis and parametric as well as nonparametric statistics to compare groups. The form was distributed to 407 randomly selected RNs. Results. The response rate was 71% (n=289). The respondents were from four different examination years, representing four different nursing education systems in Sweden. Factor analysis (Maximum Likelihood and Oblimin rotation) gave seven factors with a total variance of 58% and Cronbach’s α between 0·60 and 0·84. The factors were labelled ‘Research language’, ‘Need of research knowledge’, ‘Participation’, ‘The Profession’, ‘Meaningfulness’, ‘Study literature’ and ‘Developing – Resources’. The results indicated that the respondents in general had positive attitudes towards nursing research. There were significant differences between the examined groups. The group examined in 1966 appeared as the least positive group. Forty-six per cent never or seldom utilized nursing research findings in their daily practice. About half of the respondents never read research reports. Conclusion. The results indicated that the new instrument is sensitive for measuring professional nurses’ attitudes towards research and development in nursing. Even if the respondents had a positive attitude towards research and development, there was a poor application in their daily work. Further, the respondent’s age, the year of RN examination and acquisition of research skills seemed to be of importance for the attitudes.

    Notes: Background. Nurses' attitudes towards research have been illuminated in many studies. However, there is still a need for more knowledge about the attitudes and awareness of undergraduate nursing students. Aim. To investigate Swedish undergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards and awareness of research and development within nursing, and to illuminate factors that may have an impact on their attitudes and awareness. Methods. A questionnaire consisting of three parts: demographic data, attitude scale, and research awareness was used. Parametric and nonparametric statistics were used. Two hundred and one students participated in the study and the response rate was 77%. Cronbach's alpha test on the seven factors was between 0·52 and 0·80. Results. Most of the students had positive attitudes towards nursing research. More than half (60%) of the students expected to make use of nursing research sometime in the future and about 25% had never read any of the scientific nursing journals. The majority (77%) of the students were acquainted with at least one Swedish researcher, but few had attended a doctoral dissertation. Students with an interest in some particular development or research area in nursing were significantly more positive and expected to make use of nursing research more frequently. Other variables that were found to have some impact upon attitudes were gender, age and additional academic studies. Conclusion. Nursing students had an overall positive attitude towards nursing research and their interest in a particular development or research area was the most important variable for their attitudes and expected use of nursing research in the future. Therefore, it would seem to be important to encourage the students' interest in specific development/research areas of nursing during their education. In spite of the nursing students' positive attitudes to nursing research, the study demonstrates the theory–practice gap is still present to some degree.
