Protocol for a scoping review investigating success in research capacity building for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify and describe how success is currently conceptualised in research capacity building in nurses, midwives and allied health professionals in the UK.

Introduction

Having a research active healthcare workforce is associated with improved patient outcomes as well as staff retention. It is therefore seen as a key target for many healthcare organisations. Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals form the largest group of healthcare professionals but are traditionally less involved in research than medically trained staff. A variety of schemes have aimed to address this through so called "research capacity building" activities but an understanding of what constitutes success is needed to aid development of future interventions.
