The first step toward organizing research activities is to obtain a correct perception of available capabilities. This study was conducted to investigate the researchers' views about barriers affecting research activities.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted using the census method. The population consisted of the faculty members of Birjand University of Medical Sciences in 2014. The research tool was a questionnaire in six areas of financial, facility, professional, scientific, personal, and organizational- managerial barriers. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Friedman test.
Faculty members confirmed that although all barriers affected research activities, organizational-managerial barriers (3.73 ± 0.63) had the greatest and scientific barriers (3.15 ± 0.93) had the lowest effect, respectively. The results of Friedman test showed that there is a significant difference between the mean values of factors related to various barriers affecting research activities from the viewpoint of the participants' answers.
Research activities are affected by numerous barriers. Strategies, such as empowering researchers, employing new technologies in the creation of research teams, and benefiting from research experts in various stages of research, may have a positive effect on the removal of the barriers.
开展研究活动的第一步是正确认识现有能力。本研究旨在调查研究人员对影响研究活动的障碍的看法。
本描述性横断面研究采用普查法。研究对象为2014年比尔詹德医科大学的教职员工。研究工具是一份关于财务、设施、专业、科学、个人和组织管理障碍六个领域的问卷。结果采用描述性统计和弗里德曼检验进行分析。
教职员工确认，虽然所有障碍都会影响研究活动，但组织管理障碍（3.73±0.63）的影响最大，而科学障碍（3.15±0.93）的影响最小。弗里德曼检验结果表明，从参与者的回答来看，与影响研究活动的各种障碍相关的因素均值之间存在显著差异。
研究活动受到众多障碍的影响。诸如增强研究人员能力、在组建研究团队时采用新技术以及在研究的各个阶段借助研究专家等策略，可能会对消除这些障碍产生积极影响。
