The art and science of dietetics are rooted in research, yet clinical dietitians do not generally participate in the research process. Focus group methodology was used to identify clinical dietitians' perceptions about incorporating research into clinical practice and to identify potential barriers to participation in research. In a series of 9 focus group sessions with 50 registered dietitians and 3 dietetic interns, attendees recognized the importance that research findings play in their practice. Barriers such as lack of time and low comfort levels with initiating and conducting research were discussed, and possible solutions to these barriers were suggested. Collaboration with academic dietitians or with research mentors was viewed as a useful and realistic pathway to increased participation in the research process. According to participants, increased involvement in research could also be facilitated by a supportive administrative structure within the facility, clinical management that is supportive of the research process, and collaboration among members of the dietetics staff. The findings of this qualitative investigation indicate that the central tenet of successful integration of clinical practice and research is collaboration-within dietetics departments, across the strata of facilities, and in particular, between clinical and research-oriented registered dietitians.
营养学的艺术与科学基于研究，但临床营养师通常不参与研究过程。采用焦点小组方法来确定临床营养师对将研究纳入临床实践的看法，并找出参与研究的潜在障碍。在与50名注册营养师和3名实习营养师进行的一系列9次焦点小组会议中，与会者认识到研究结果在他们实践中的重要性。讨论了诸如时间不足以及开展研究时舒适度较低等障碍，并针对这些障碍提出了可能的解决方案。与学术营养师或研究导师合作被视为增加参与研究过程的一条有用且现实的途径。据参与者称，机构内支持性的管理结构、支持研究过程的临床管理以及营养师团队成员之间的合作，也有助于提高对研究的参与度。这项定性调查的结果表明，临床实践与研究成功整合的核心原则是合作——在营养科内部、跨机构各层级，特别是临床注册营养师与从事研究的注册营养师之间的合作。
