ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the research ability,explore the reasons and point out the direction to improve the research ability of nurses in our hospital.Methods 375 cases of nurses in clinical work in our hospital were chosen with random sampling method to investigate the research ability.Results The variability of research ability score of nurses under investigation was comparatively large.The minimum of scores was 10,the maximum was 113 and the average score was 55.34±25.01.Various scores were all relatively low.The general trend is that the higher the academic and professional titles,the better the research ability.The various scores were independent of administrative rank.Conclusion General research ability of nurses in our hospital was relatively weak.It is necessary to train nurses in our hospital,especially those with lower academic and professional titles to improve the general research ability.
