Abstract

Introduction: Scientific research is a vital tool for advancing Nursing as a discipline and improving professional practice. In this context, teachers' role in promoting and conducting research is pivotal. Objective: To analyze the attitudes towards teaching and learning scientific research, and the self-assessment of research skills, of nursing teachers in Argentina. Methodology: A multicentre, analytical, quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out with 317 teachers from six higher education institutions. Validated instruments were used to measure perceptions of teaching research and to assess research skills. Results: The results revealed that 87.07% of professors have participated in, or are participating in, research projects. 97.16% recognized research as a tool for change in professional practice. However, 54.89% had not published any scientific articles, and 37.22% felt that their institution did not encourage research development. Handling statistical techniques and specific programs were the competencies that were evaluated the worst, while the skill of presenting reports with information and communication technologies tools was evaluated the best. Teachers with postgraduate training, previous publications, and institutional support had significantly more positive attitudes. A positive correlation was identified between attitudes towards research and the self-assessment of research skills. Conclusions: Although teachers have a positive attitude towards research, limitations in training and resources persist. It is recommended that institutional policies promoting the development of the research profile are strengthened.
