Conducting research on massage therapy (MT) continues to be a significant challenge.
To explore and identify the structures, processes, and resources required to enable viable, sustainable and high quality MT research activities in the Canadian context.
Academically-based researchers and MT professionals involved in research.
Formative evaluation and a descriptive qualitative approach were applied.
Five main themes regarding the requirements of a productive and sustainable MT research infrastructure in Canada were identified: 1) core components, 2) variable components, 3) varying perspectives of stakeholder groups, 4) barriers to creating research infrastructure, and 5) negative metaphors. In addition, participants offered a number of recommendations on how to develop such an infrastructure.
While barriers exist that require attention, participants' insights suggest there are various pathways through which a productive and sustainable MT research infrastructure can be achieved.
开展按摩疗法（MT）研究仍然是一项重大挑战。
探索并确定在加拿大背景下开展可行、可持续且高质量的按摩疗法研究活动所需的结构、流程和资源。
从事研究的学术型研究人员和按摩疗法专业人员。
采用形成性评价和描述性定性方法。
确定了关于加拿大高效且可持续的按摩疗法研究基础设施要求的五个主要主题：1）核心组成部分，2）可变组成部分，3）利益相关者群体的不同观点，4）创建研究基础设施的障碍，5）负面隐喻。此外，参与者就如何发展这样的基础设施提出了一些建议。
虽然存在需要关注的障碍，但参与者的见解表明，有多种途径可以实现高效且可持续的按摩疗法研究基础设施。
