Exploring the Obstructive and Facilitative Factors of Nursing Research Activities during the Spread of COVID-19

要旨

　目的：COVID-19拡大状況下の看護研究活動の阻害要因と促進要因を探索する．

　方法：日本看護科学学会会員のうち，同意を得た1,532名にオンライン質問紙調査をした．2020年4〜6月のCOVID-19拡大状況下の研究活動に関する自由記載項目に記入した554名の記述について，研究プロセスを分析枠組みとする内容分析を行った．

　結果：各研究プロセスの阻害要因は，【研究計画の実行可能性に対する不確かさ】【研究者と研究参加者双方に生じる負担への懸念】等の12カテゴリー，各研究プロセスの促進要因は，【既存の価値観に囚われない発想の転換】【研究成果公表に向けた選択と集中】等の7カテゴリーが導かれた．

　結論：学際的連携による創造的な研究方法の確立，倫理的配慮の具体化，組織的な研究環境改善に向けた取り組み，研究マネジメント力強化，思考の転換と行動力が持続可能な研究活動推進の鍵となることが示唆された．

　Objective: To explore the obstructive and facilitative factors of nursing research activities during the spread of COVID-19.

　Methods: An online questionnaire survey was conducted, which included 1,532 members who consented to participate in the study among the members of the Japan Academy of Nursing Science. Qualitative content analysis was performed for analyzing the responses of 554 participants to open-ended questions regarding research activities during the spread of COVID-19 from April 2020 to June 2020 using the research process as an analysis framework.

　Results: Obstructive factors for each research process were classified into 12 categories, such as uncertainty about the feasibility of research plans and concerns about burden on both the researchers and research participants. Facilitative factors for each research process were classified into seven categories, including the change of perception to one that is free from existing values, selection and concentration on the publication of research results.

　Conclusion: The results suggest that for facilitating sustainable nursing research activities, establishing creative research methodologies through interdisciplinary collaboration, reifying ethical considerations, taking efforts to improve the systematic research environment, strengthening research management competencies, changing thoughts and taking action are important.
