| Popis: | Inadequate knowledge about research processes within cancer health services has the potential to limit the development of evidence-based care. A survey was emailed to 201 health professionals working in cancer services in a major city to identify perceived levels of research knowledge and barriers to conducting research. Eighty-five people (42%) responded. Barriers to conducting research included time-constraints (84%), workload (72%), limited research funding (74%) and limited knowledge (34%). Gaps in research knowledge included performing quantitative analyses (79%), gaining funds (71%), using qualitative and quantitative research methods (62 and 67%) and formulating a research proposal (54%). More nurses reported having gaps in research knowledge than other professions. Two thirds (66%) of participants reported an interest in further education. There is a need for research training for practising health professionals and a focus on research as the basis for providing evidence-based care in undergraduate courses. Research, translation of research into practice and evidence-based care need to be incorporated into health professional roles throughout their careers. |
