Despite its importance, several barriers can impede research access. These include:
1. Cost: Many high-quality journals and databases require subscriptions, which can be prohibitively expensive. 2. Limited Library Resources: Smaller institutions may not have extensive libraries or access to multiple databases. 3. Time Constraints: Nurses often have demanding schedules that make it difficult to devote time to research. 4. Lack of Training: Some nurses may not have the necessary skills to effectively search for and evaluate research.
