Abstract

Introduction:nursingresearch isascientificprocess that supports thepracticeofcareby improvingandgenerating new knowledge for incorporation into practice. However, it is limited by factors that affect the development of the research function, such as indicators that hinder the work of researchers and their investigative competencies. Objective: to determine the indicators associated with scientific production and competencies in clinical nurses at a specialized institute. Method: this was a non-experimental study with a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and crosssectional approach. The population consisted of a total of 248 nurses working in a specialized institute. Two instruments were used: the Scale of Indicators Associated with Scientific Production and the Instrument of Research Competencies. Results: regarding the indicators associated with scientific production, the highest scored dimension was preparation for research production (Me=3,00, RI=1,00), and the lowest scored dimension was teamwork and network formation (Me=0,00, RI=1,00). In the variable of scientific production competencies, the lowest scored dimension was dissemination (Me=20,00, RI=8,50). Conclusions: It is evident that the nursing professional’s production is limited by factors supporting research. Moreover, scientific production can be boosted by identifying its relationship with the competencies required to conduct research in health institutions.
