I'm intended to identify the barriers to research utilization among registered nurses in my facility and i will be grateful if you share with me your suggestion for valid and reliable tool to be effectively used to meet the study aim
Actually Abdulqadir - I would advise against such a study - rather than suggest a tool. This area is already so well researched in nursing that you would be highly unlikely to uncover anything that previous international studies have not already uncovered I.e. barriers related to common 'restraints' - such as a lack of time, training, education, support, resources - and, in many cases, a general lack of interest against the mentioned and other organizational constraints.
Actually, i agree with you but since we're going to establish a new strategy for research implementation in our organization we need to prioritize the barriers based on numbers and figures
Abdulqadir - in that case - a question to ask is quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods? I'm inclined to think that, as you mention 'instruments', you are inclined towards a quantitative survey design.
We're planning to utilize triangulation (mixed) method including quantitative instrument and face-to-face interview
That may well be the point of difference then for potential publication of your study. There are many nursing-related studies that relate to either quantitative or qualitative paradigm approaches - but few that do both. A Delphi study of mine back in 2007 may be one of the first as a mixed methods approach - but we are 6-years on now and findings may well differ.
It's the third article down on this page!!

There is a recent study that was done related to this topic: an instrument was developed and used with staff nurses about research utilization in the clinical area. I suggest you Google for it. There are some publications related to the findings. I will continue to search for the instrument. It has good reliability and validity per the nurse researchers who developed it.
I disagree with Whitehead. I found what you were looking for: Barriers and Facilitators to Using Research in Practice developed by Funk et al. Applied Nursing Research, 4, 39-45, 1991. The actual instrument is there. There is need for its usage in those hospitals that do not have Magnet Status (U.S.) to continue to explore why clinical nursing research isn't too well integrated in evidence-based nursing.
