Trends in scientific publishing and good practices in research: what do nurse-researcher know? / Boas práticas em pesquisa e editoração científica: o que conhecem os pesquisadores-enfermeiros do Brasil?
descriptive study conducted through an online survey with 197 nurses with master's and/or doctorate degrees from all Brazilian regions. To raise knowledge, a validated, self-administered and anonymous questionnaire was used. Descriptive and inferential analyzes were performed on the researchers' score (Mann-Whitney test).
Results:
Among the 18 specific questions, the average of correct answers was 7.1; being 6.4 for masters and 7.4 for doctors. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean of correct answers between masters and doctors (p=0.025), and between productivityscholarship holders and non-scholarship holders (p=0.021), according to means difference tests. Questions about predatory editorial practices were those in which researchers performed worse.
Conclusion:
We identified a low level of knowledge among the participants, regardless of their level of education (master's or doctorate). The expansion of dissemination and articulation strategies for this knowledge is necessary for the production of quality scientific knowledge in the area.
estudo descritivo realizado por inquérito on-line com 197 enfermeiros mestres ou doutores de todas as regiões brasileiras. Para levantar o conhecimento utilizou-se um questionário validado, autoaplicável e anônimo. Sobre o escore dos pesquisadores realizaram-se análises descritivas e inferenciais (Teste de Mann-Whitney).
Resultados:
Entre as 18 questões específicas, a média de acertos foi de 7,1; sendo de 6,4 para mestres e 7,4 para doutores. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na média de acertos entre mestres e doutores (p=0,025), e entre bolsistas e não-bolsistas de produtividade (p=0,021), segundo testes de diferença de médias. As questões sobre práticas editoriais predatórias foram aquelas em que os pesquisadores apresentaram os piores escores.
