To identify these barriers to research within interventional radiology (IR) and suggest potential solutions to support IR academia within the UK and beyond.
An electronic survey was compiled using Google Forms and distributed to the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR) members by email and through social media (Twitter). The survey was open between 15 October 2021 and 15 December 2021. Questions included prior research experience and qualifications, research interests and barriers to research development. The data were analysed in Microsoft Excel 365.
One hundred and six responses were received with the majority from junior (42.5%) and senior radiology trainees (25.5%). Eight-three percent had not undertaken formal research qualifications with 56.4% stating they would like to undertake a PhD or MD; 81.1% stated they planned to be involved in research. The most common perceived barriers were lack of time (64.2%), lack of research experience (61.3%), and lack of senior supervision (58.5%).
Developing and supporting the academic IR infrastructure is vital to ensure the future of IR. Radiology trainees have shown interest in being involved with IR research and undertaking formal research training. Additional support from local hospitals, national societies, and the Royal College of Radiologists are required.
确定介入放射学（IR）领域内的这些研究障碍，并提出潜在的解决方案，以支持英国及其他地区的介入放射学学术领域。
使用 Google 表单编制了一份电子调查问卷，并通过电子邮件和社交媒体（Twitter）分发给英国介入放射学学会（BSIR）的成员。该调查于 2021 年 10 月 15 日至 12 月 15 日开放。问题包括先前的研究经验和资格、研究兴趣以及研究发展的障碍。数据在 Microsoft Excel 365 中进行分析。
共收到 106 份回复，其中大多数来自初级（42.5%）和高级放射科培训生（25.5%）。83%的人没有接受过正规的研究资格培训，其中 56.4%表示他们希望攻读博士或医学博士学位；81.1%表示他们计划参与研究。最常见的感知障碍是缺乏时间（64.2%）、缺乏研究经验（61.3%）和缺乏高级监督（58.5%）。
发展和支持介入放射学的学术基础设施对于确保介入放射学的未来至关重要。放射科培训生对参与介入放射学研究和接受正规研究培训表现出兴趣。需要来自当地医院、国家学会和皇家放射科医师学院的额外支持。
