Using factor analysis procedures, barriers to the use of research evidence in practice which were perceived to be present by 400 registered nurses working in an Australian hospital, were grouped under four main factors: accessibility of research findings, anticipated outcomes of using research, organizational support to use research and support from others to useResearch.
