  "abstract": "Objectives This study aimed to systematically synthesise and analyse nurses’ experiences in implementing clinical nursing research (CNR) to inform administrators and researchers involved in CNR.Design Qualitative meta-synthesis.Data sources The following six databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO) and Embase. The search period included material published up to December 2024.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies We included qualitative studies exploring perspectives, experiences and other similar factors. JBI Critical Appraisal Tool (2024 edition) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies.Data extraction and synthesis Two reviewers independently conducted the literature search, study selection and data coding. Using principles of similarity and integration, findings from the included studies were grouped into general categories. A final synthesis was produced through analysis of the relationship between categories.Results 11 studies were included, from which four themes were identified: feelings and motivations prior to participation in CNR; understanding the role of the clinical nursing researcher; factors hindering CNR implementation; and expectations for CNR development. These themes comprised 12 sub-themes.Conclusion This review highlights nurses’ experience in implementing CNR. Strengthening motivation and clarifying the roles and responsibilities associated with CNR may facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. In parallel, healthcare administrators should foster a supportive CNR culture and provide resources to address barriers to implementation.PROSPERO registration number CRD42025631159.",
