Abstract

Purpose: This study was done to identify Community Health Practitioner's (CHP's) perception of barriers to research utilization Method: Participants were 153 CHPs working in Chungbuk Province. Modified Barriers Scale was utilized in the research, and 4 sub-scales were nurse factor, organization factor, research factor and communication factor. Data was analyzed by using SPSS/WIN12.0. Results: Research factor showed the highest barrier score among four sub-scales, and nurse factor was the lowest. CHPs with membership in any nursing academic society showed lower scores on the four sub-scales. Those who had taken a course related to research were less likely to see the research factor or communication as barriers. Barriers to research utilization were not associated with work experience years or to demographics. Conclusion: It is highly recommended that CHPs be trained in research methods and evidence-based practice and that research articles be written more clearly.
