Overview

Qualitative study reveals varying research engagement among front-line, middle, and senior managers, suggesting evidence-based strategies.

Key Points

  • Engagement and use of research varied among different roles within the blood collection department, indicating a need for tailored strategies.
  • Participants valued research but lacked confidence in their skills to engage with it, highlighting a significant training opportunity.
  • Senior managers primarily used research for policy development related to blood collection, while visibility of research was insufficient for front-line staff.
  • To enhance research engagement, organisations must strengthen tools, increase individual skills, and improve the visibility of research outcomes.
