Sažetak


Background/Aim. Clinical research nurse is a well-known concept in Europe and other countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards clinical research and their opinions and self-evaluation about clinical research nursing, and factors affecting them.

Methods. A cross sectional study was conducted at the University Clinical Centre of the Republic of Srpska (UCCRS). A questionnaire included 50 questions/statements was created in order to address the aims of the research and afterwards distributed to 120 nurses from 6 departments.

Results. Response rate was 91.6 %. Most of the respondents showed a low level of knowledge, but positive attitude related to clinical research. Nurses who participated in clinical research were confident in their competencies according to their self-evaluation.

Conclusion.  Systematic approach to the additional nurses education could have a significant impact on a success of clinical research.
