Abstract

Objective: to identify intervention strategies that will be useful in order to boost motivation for research among nurses.
Method: the study was conducted in the setting of the University Master Degree for Nursing Leadership and Management 2018/2019 in the University of Barcelona. A qualitative design was applied through interpretive content analysis. Data were collected through the preparation of a plan of action where each participant, based on some objectives, presented intervention strategies in order to increase their motivation towards research. The different strategies were grouped by dimensions for their analysis, determining two subcategories: self-applied interventions targeted to oneself, and institutional interventions targeted to the institution.
Results: there was a prevalence of interventions targeted to personal life management. The most usual proposals for self-applied interventions were associated with increasing the time devoted to research, trying to optimize personal time, to increase the specific training on research, knowledge of English, and measures targeted to increase intrinsic motivation. On the other hand, the proposals for institutional interventions were focused on having time for research within the working day, and having access to the resources required.
Conclusions: the results obtained can help to generate strategic plans of intervention that will boost nursing research based on a model of implementation, prepared by nurses, both for self-applied interventions and for those to be conducted by the institution.
