Analysis
The normality of the seven dependent sumvariables was assessed using skewness values and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (Table 3). All sumvariables were skewed so non-parametric tests (Kruskal– Wallis and Mann–Whitney) were used to analyse the research utilisation differences between groups. The level of statistical significance was set to ≤ 0.05 (Munro, 1997). Significant differences between more than two groups were reported using p-values with Bonferroni correction. Independent background, further education and research activity variables on the nominal scale were used to analyse the form (Tables 4 and 5). Age was categorised as 40 years or under, 41–50 years, 51–60 years and 61 years or over. Diplomas in nursing were re-categorised so that public health nurses and midwifes were combined and those with nurse diploma and one or two other diplomas were combined. Experience in nursing practice was categorised as under seven years, 7–14 years and over 14 years. Teaching experience was categorised as under
10 years, 10–20 years and over 20 years. Amount of further
education during the past year was categorised as 1–5 days of study (under 40 h), 6–10 days of study (41–80 h), 11–15 days of study (81–120 h) and more than 15 days of study (over 120 h). Publication activities were grouped into three categories. Publica- tions in national or international scientific journals were combined to scientific publications and other publications were combined with publications on trade papers, serial publications, textbooks, newspapers and conferences. Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS/Win Software Version 15.0
