Due to the rarity of pediatric diseases, collaborative research is the key to maximizing the impact of research studies. A research needs assessment survey was created to support initiatives to foster pediatric interventional radiology research.
To assess the status of pediatric interventional radiology research, identify perceived barriers, obtain community input on areas of research/education/support, and create metrics for evaluating changes/responses to programmatic initiatives.
A survey link was sent to approximately 275 members of the Society for Pediatric Interventional Radiology (SPIR) between May and October 2020. Data was collected using a web-based interface. Data collected included practice setting, clinical role, research experience, research barriers, and suggestions for future initiatives.
Fifty-nine surveys were analyzed with a staff physician survey response rate of 28% (56/198). A wide range of practice sizes from 15 countries were represented. Respondents were predominantly staff physicians (95%; 56/59) with an average of 11 years (range: 1-25 years) of clinical experience working at academic or freestanding children's hospitals. A total of 100% (59/59) had research experience, and 70% (41/58) had published research with a mean of 30 peer-reviewed publications (range: 1-200). For job security, 56% (33/59) of respondents were expected or required to publish, but only 19% (11/58) had research support staff, and 42% (25/59) had protected research time, but of those, 36% (9/25) got the time "sometimes or never." Lack of support staff, established collaborative processes, and education were identified as top barriers to performing research.
The needs assessment survey demonstrated active research output despite several identified barriers. There is a widespread interest within the pediatric interventional radiology community for collaborative research.
由于儿科疾病罕见，合作研究是使研究产生最大影响的关键。开展了一项研究需求评估调查，以支持促进儿科介入放射学研究的举措。
评估儿科介入放射学研究的现状，确定公认的障碍，获取有关研究/教育/支持领域的社区意见，并制定评估对规划举措的变化/反应的指标。
2020年5月至10月期间，向儿科介入放射学会（SPIR）的约275名成员发送了调查链接。使用基于网络的界面收集数据。收集的数据包括执业环境、临床角色、研究经验、研究障碍以及对未来举措的建议。
分析了59份调查问卷， staff physician的调查回复率为28%（56/198）。代表了来自15个国家的广泛执业规模。受访者主要是staff physician（95%；56/59），平均有11年（范围：1 - 25年）在学术或独立儿童医院工作的临床经验。共有100%（59/59）有研究经验，70%（41/-- 此处原文有误，应是58，不是59 -- 58）发表过研究成果，平均有30篇同行评审出版物（范围：1 - 200）。关于工作保障，56%（33/59）的受访者被期望或要求发表论文，但只有19%（11/58）有研究支持人员，42%（25/59）有受保护的研究时间，但其中36%（9/25）“有时或从未”得到过时间。缺乏支持人员、既定的合作流程和教育被确定为开展研究的首要障碍。
需求评估调查表明，尽管存在一些已确定的障碍，但仍有积极的研究产出。儿科介入放射学界对合作研究有着广泛的兴趣。
