Abstract: Research capabilities and engagement are essential for personal, professional, and social development. They encourage independent learning, critical thinking, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making among nurses. Finding the interrelationship among demographic characteristics, research capabilities, and research engagement among nurses has not been widely studied especially at the local level. This quantitative research made use of the descriptive, correlational design to assess the interrelationship among demographic characteristics, research capabilities, and research engagement of nurses in training hospitals in Tacloban City for the first quarter of 2025. Findings revealed that just over half were belonging to the 27 to 40 years old group and majority were females. Majority were college graduates, were staff nurses, and over a quarter had served for one to three years. Majority has not published their research work. Research capabilities was average and research engagement was moderate. Position was correlated with research capabilities. Personal characteristics were not correlated with research engagement. Research capabilities were correlated with research engagement. No matter what age, sex, educational attainment, years of service, and number of research, research capabilities and engagement can still be high. The higher the capabilities in research, the higher the engagement in research. The number one challenge was the heavy workload faced by nurses. To address the findings of the study, a research training plan was proposed.
