Research is crucial to the development of family medicine around the world. However, family physicians in practice often hesitate to enter into investigative endeavours. Common reasons for such hesitation include limited exposure to the process of conducting research and the belief that research is best conducted by academic scholars. Our intent here is to encourage clinically focused family physicians' involvement in research activities by explaining how they can cultivate inquisitiveness so as to develop questions for exploration. We present an approach to research that focuses on five steps emergent from the day-to-day, habitual practice of family medicine, wherever in the world it is practised. We illustrate this approach by describing a successful practice-based research study. We conclude by inviting all family physicians to consider integrating research into their practice lives so as to expand their professional horizons and help educate the next generation of global family physicians.
研究对于全球家庭医学的发展至关重要。然而，从事临床工作的家庭医生往往对参与研究工作犹豫不决。这种犹豫的常见原因包括对研究过程接触有限，以及认为研究最好由学术学者来进行。我们的目的是通过解释临床重点突出的家庭医生如何培养好奇心以提出探索性问题，来鼓励他们参与研究活动。我们提出一种研究方法，该方法侧重于从家庭医学日常惯常实践中产生的五个步骤，无论其在世界何处实施。我们通过描述一项成功的基于实践的研究来阐述这种方法。我们最后邀请所有家庭医生考虑将研究融入他们的执业生活，以拓展他们的职业视野，并帮助培养下一代全球家庭医生。
