To elucidate the research training exposure of radiology residents across ESR country members.
A 30-question survey was constructed by the Radiology Trainee Forum and was distributed among residents and subspecialty fellows of countries members of the ESR. The survey examined the training environment, the status of research training and publications among trainees, the conditions under which research was conducted, and the exposure to activities such as grant proposal preparation and manuscript reviewing. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used to assess the responses to survey questions and evaluate factors related to these responses.
A total of 159 participants from 29 countries provided fully completed questionnaires. Only 12/159 trainees already had a PhD degree and nearly half had never published a PubMed-indexed manuscript (76/159, 47.8%). Among those who published their papers during radiology training, most did so in the first or second year of residency (n = 26 and n = 20 participants, respectively). Most participants (79%) did not receive further statistical training during residency, fifty-five out of 159 (34.59%) respondents never had any guidance/training on how to read a paper and 58 out of 159 (36.48%) had never been encouraged to participate in any research. Most of them had worked after hours to carry out research at least a few times (47/159, 29.56%) or always (82/159, 51.57%).
Analysis of research training among radiology trainees was performed. Areas for improvement were identified that can prompt changes in training curricula to prepare a highly competent European workforce.
This survey has identified deficits in research training of radiology residents across countries members of ESR, pinpointing areas for improvement to fortify the future of radiology in Europe.
Research exposure and training of radiology residents varies across countries and members of ESR. Radiology residents largely lack systematic research training, dedicated research time, and guidance. Areas for improvement in research training of radiology residents have been identified, aiding the fortification of radiology research across Europe.
阐明欧洲放射学会（ESR）成员国放射科住院医师的研究培训情况。
放射科住院医师论坛编制了一份包含30个问题的调查问卷，并分发给ESR成员国的住院医师和专科研究员。该调查考察了培训环境、住院医师的研究培训和发表情况、开展研究的条件，以及参与撰写科研基金申请和评审稿件等活动的情况。使用描述性统计和卡方检验来评估对调查问卷问题的回答，并评估与这些回答相关的因素。
来自29个国家的159名参与者提供了完整填写的问卷。只有12/159名住院医师已经拥有博士学位，近一半人从未发表过被PubMed收录的稿件（76/159，47.8%）。在放射科培训期间发表论文的人中，大多数是在住院医师培训的第一年或第二年发表的（分别为26名和20名参与者）。大多数参与者（79%）在住院医师培训期间没有接受过进一步的统计学培训，159名受访者中有55人（34.59%）从未接受过关于如何阅读论文的任何指导/培训，159名中有58人（36.48%）从未被鼓励参与任何研究。他们中的大多数人至少有几次在工作时间之外进行研究（47/159，29.56%）或总是如此（82/159，51.57%）。
对放射科住院医师的研究培训进行了分析。确定了需要改进的方面，这些方面可以促使培训课程发生变化，以培养一支高素质的欧洲放射科人才队伍。
这项调查发现了ESR成员国放射科住院医师研究培训方面的不足，明确了需要改进的领域，以加强欧洲放射学的未来发展。
放射科住院医师的研究接触和培训在ESR的不同国家和成员中存在差异。放射科住院医师在很大程度上缺乏系统的研究培训、专门的研究时间和指导。已经确定了放射科住院医师研究培训中需要改进的领域，有助于加强欧洲的放射学研究。
