General practice research is an important learning area in general practice registrar training. General practitioner supervisors have a central role in registrar training. Registrar training in Tasmania has the added component of a research project. Little is known about supervisors' research attitudes, confidence to support registrar research projects, and research skill needs.
A postal survey was sent to all 40 GP supervisors with General Practice Training Tasmania.
Response rate was 90% (n=36): 33% were interested in becoming involved in general practice research; 53% wanted to improve their research skills; and 55% did not feel confident supporting a registrar with a research project. Those supervisors who were confident were more likely to have previous research involvement.
There is potential for increasing research capacity in GP supervisors. It is important to build the confidence of supervisors in their support of general practice registrars engaged in research projects.
全科医学研究是全科医学住院医师培训中的一个重要学习领域。全科医生导师在住院医师培训中起着核心作用。塔斯马尼亚州的住院医师培训还增加了一个研究项目的内容。对于导师的研究态度、支持住院医师研究项目的信心以及研究技能需求,我们了解甚少。
向塔斯马尼亚州全科医学培训的所有40名全科医生导师发送了一份邮寄调查问卷。
回复率为90%(n = 36):33%的人有兴趣参与全科医学研究;53%的人希望提高他们的研究技能;55%的人觉得没有信心支持住院医师开展研究项目。那些有信心的导师更有可能之前参与过研究。
提高全科医生导师的研究能力具有潜力。增强导师对支持参与研究项目的全科医学住院医师的信心很重要。
