Research has led to substantial improvement in health and quality of life. It is pertinent for doctors to participate in research to keep up with the advances of modern medicine and forms one of the seven pillars of clinical governance defined by the General Medical Council. However, clinicians face multiple barriers to participating in research. The objective of this study was to identify barriers in participation and to recommend solutions for better engagement in orthopaedic research.
Trauma and Orthopaedic consultants and junior doctors in Wales were asked to complete a web-based survey with 15 questions about barriers to participation and suggestions for increasing involvement in clinical research.
A total of 148 completed forms were received which included 60 consultants and 88 junior doctors. The response rate was 86%. The most frequently reported barriers to clinical research were time constraints, excess paperwork, lack of knowledge about research methods, and lack of awareness of ongoing research studies. Most participants were keen to be involved in research in the future. Majority responded that they would more likely take part in research activity if there were formal training sessions and more dedicated research sessions scheduled into their timetable. Need for more incentives and allocation of a research officer were other suggestions. Most orthopaedic staff recognised the relevance of research to their job/training. Conclusion: There are multiple perceived barriers to participating in research at all levels in the orthopaedic community; however, these could be mitigated by implementing simple measures.
研究已使健康状况和生活质量得到显著改善。医生参与研究对于跟上现代医学的发展至关重要，这也是英国医学总会定义的临床治理七大支柱之一。然而，临床医生在参与研究方面面临多重障碍。本研究的目的是识别参与研究的障碍，并为更好地参与骨科研究推荐解决方案。
威尔士的创伤与骨科顾问医生和初级医生被要求完成一项基于网络的调查，该调查包含15个关于参与障碍以及增加临床研究参与度建议的问题。
共收到148份完整表格，其中包括60名顾问医生和88名初级医生。回复率为86%。临床研究中最常报告的障碍是时间限制、文书工作过多、对研究方法缺乏了解以及对正在进行的研究缺乏认识。大多数参与者渴望未来参与研究。大多数人表示，如果有正式培训课程以及在他们的时间表中安排更多专门的研究时段，他们更有可能参与研究活动。其他建议包括需要更多激励措施和配备一名研究专员。大多数骨科工作人员认识到研究与他们的工作/培训的相关性。
骨科领域各级人员在参与研究方面存在多种可感知的障碍；然而，通过实施简单措施可以减轻这些障碍。
