Abstract EN
This paper reports on an evaluation of a Clinical Scholar Program initiated at a hospital in Western Australia.
The aim of the program was to build the capacity of nurses and midwives to conduct research and evidence-based practice within the hospital.
The program was based on a previous program and consisted of six teaching days and four hours per month release for proposal preparation.
At the end of the program participants were asked to complete a short anonymous questionnaire.
The answers were analysed using standard processes of qualitative analysis.
Themes emerging from the data included program strengths, individual gains, ability to conduct research, and areas for improvement.
The findings highlighted that, while the participants considered that they were more knowledgeable and confident to conduct research, they still required support.
The Clinical Scholar Program has provided a way to increase the capacity of clinicians to participate in research activities.
