Doing quality medical research that improves patient care, improves medical education, reduces expenditures, and benefits society at large is an important responsibility, though often underrated. Appropriate measures are required to be taken when a medical college is new. Hence, this provided an opportunity to conduct a study at a current medical institution with the aim of identifying the barriers faced by research in various domains.
This cross-sectional study included currently working faculties, including senior residents and demonstrators, as subjects. A structured questionnaire with close-ended responses was used, which covered the baseline characteristics of subjects and perceived research barriers among researchers. After obtaining institutional ethical approval, the study was initiated. During the analysis of the data, an association between variables was significant for value < 0.05.
In the present study, out of 105 eligible subjects, only 98 of them participated. The mean age of the subjects was 36.06 ± 6.48 years. The most frequent barriers expressed were a lack of research training facilities to solve individual research problems (45.9%) and a lack of a sufficient financial budget for research activities (57.1%). The organizational-managerial level domain was significantly associated with the subject's age, designation, and gender ( < 0.05).
The present study identified the barriers faced by the researcher at various levels. Despite the presence of a young workforce, it was surprising to notice that more than half of the faculty members had poor research barrier scores in each of six domains, probably due to a lack of mentorship and acknowledgement, and a lack of skill in using computer-based hardware and software.
开展高质量的医学研究以改善患者护理、提升医学教育、降低支出并造福整个社会是一项重要职责，尽管其重要性常常被低估。在一所新建医学院时需要采取适当措施。因此，这为在当前一家医疗机构开展一项研究提供了契机，目的是确定各个领域研究面临的障碍。
这项横断面研究以目前在职的教职员工（包括高级住院医师和示范教员）为研究对象。使用了一份具有封闭式答案的结构化问卷，涵盖研究对象的基线特征以及研究人员所感知到的研究障碍。获得机构伦理批准后，研究启动。在数据分析过程中，变量之间的关联在 值<0.05时具有显著性。
在本研究中，105名符合条件的研究对象中，只有98人参与。研究对象的平均年龄为36.06±6.48岁。最常提到的障碍是缺乏解决个人研究问题的研究培训设施（45.9%）以及缺乏充足的研究活动资金预算（57.1%）。组织管理层面的领域与研究对象的年龄、职称和性别显著相关（<0.05）。
本研究确定了研究人员在各个层面面临的障碍。尽管有年轻的劳动力，但令人惊讶的是，超过一半的教员在六个领域中的每个领域的研究障碍得分都很低，这可能是由于缺乏指导和认可，以及缺乏使用基于计算机的硬件和软件的技能。
