In an era of evidence based medicine research is an essential part of medical profession whether clinical or academic. A research methodology workshop intends to help participants, those who are newer to research field or those who are already doing empirical research. The present study was conducted to assess the changes in knowledge of the participants of a research methodology workshop through a structured questionnaire.
With administrative and ethical approval, a four day research methodology workshop was planned. The participants were subjected to a structured questionnaire (pre-test) containing 20 multiple choice questions (Q1-Q 20) related to the topics to be covered in research methodology workshop before the commencement of the workshop and then subjected to similar posttest questionnaire after the completion of workshop. The mean values of pre and post-test scores were calculated and the results were analyzed and compared.
Out of the total 153 delegates, 45(29 %) were males and 108 were (71 %) females. 92 (60%) participants consented to fill the pre-test questionnaire and 68 (44%) filled the post-test questionnaire. The mean Pre-test and post-test scores at 95% Confidence Interval were 07.62 (SD ±3.220) and 09.66 (SD ±2.477) respectively. The differences were found to be significant using Paired Sample T test ( <0.003).
There was increase in knowledge of the delegates after attending research methodology workshops. Participatory research methodology workshops are good methods of imparting knowledge, also the long term effects needs to be evaluated.
在循证医学时代，研究是医学专业的重要组成部分，无论是临床研究还是学术研究。一个研究方法工作坊旨在帮助参与者，包括那些刚进入研究领域的人或那些已经在进行实证研究的人。本研究旨在通过一份结构化问卷评估一个研究方法工作坊参与者知识的变化。
在获得行政和伦理批准后，计划举办一个为期四天的研究方法工作坊。在工作坊开始前，让参与者接受一份包含20个与研究方法工作坊要涵盖主题相关的多项选择题（Q1 - Q20）的结构化问卷（预测试），然后在工作坊结束后让他们接受类似的后测试问卷。计算预测试和后测试分数的平均值，并对结果进行分析和比较。
在总共153名代表中，45名（29%）为男性，108名（71%）为女性。92名（60%）参与者同意填写预测试问卷，68名（44%）填写了后测试问卷。95%置信区间下的预测试和后测试平均分数分别为07.62（标准差±3.220）和09.66（标准差±2.477）。使用配对样本t检验发现差异具有统计学意义（<0.003）。
参加研究方法工作坊后，代表们的知识有所增加。参与式研究方法工作坊是传授知识的好方法，但其长期效果还需要评估。
