Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Objective: To evaluate nurses’ knowledge about clinical research and its relation to relevant training and experience. METHODS: The sample of this descriptive study was formed of 306 nurses at Dokuz Eylul University Hospital and 291 of them accepted to participate.Data was collected in August-2015 via a survey.The sample was divided into three subgroups: Group1-nurses with relevant training and experience,Group2-nurses with relevant experience but no training,Group3-nurses who do not have both.A descriptive analysis was performed for each group. RESULTS: 8.6% of the 291 nurses had involved in clinical research and only 3.8% of the nurses had relevant training.However, none of them had received any standardised training.The correct answer rates for most of the statements regarding nurses’ knowledge were 20-45% more for who have training compared to the others.The lowest correct answer rate among all groups was in response to a statement regarding the participation of vulnerable populations in clinical research.The correct answer rates for the statements regarding Good Clinical Practice and the Declaration of Helsinki were 81.8% for who have training and 50% or less for the others. While correct answer rates of nurses, who have training,for the statements regarding clinical research design were more than 63%, these rates for nurses in other two groups were below 37%. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Clinical research training increases nurses’ clinical research knowledge.Designing and providing basic training programmes regarding clinical researches and their ethical relevance and also encouraging the nurses to participate in those training programmes will have a significant role in increasing the quantity of the high-quality clinical researches in Turkey.
