Demographic and research-related characteristic The results of the content analysis of additional barriers to RU were consistent with the findings from the analysis of the questionnaires.
Frequently reported answers were that “most research findings are not applicable to nursing practice for older patients,”“the provision of continuous education for RNs is needed,” and “lack of time and a nursing shortage prevent the adoption of new
ideas.” Facilitators of RU that participants frequently reported included the research findings that are understandable to nurses and applicable to nursing practice for older adults, and the working environment that shares new ideas or information on patient care with colleagues.
