Strong research capacity and culture (RCC) within professional groups predict engagement in high-quality research and the integration of evidence into practice. However, factors affecting RCC participation and development are currently unknown in Australian Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Cross-sectional survey.
All Australian Orthopaedic Association members were invited to complete the individual domain of the validated Research Capacity and Culture tool.
One hundred and sixty-three Australian Orthopaedic Association members (9%) provided survey answers. Survey findings indicated that AOA members scored moderate or high for most RCC domains (14 out of 15). Barriers to the completion of research included a lack of time, other work roles taking priority, and a lack of funds for research.
The Australian Orthopaedic Association members surveyed in this study demonstrated adequate research skills and experience, although reported they could benefit from additional support securing funding and navigating specific research tasks. Increasing future collaboration with academic institutions and clinician-researcher roles may enhance the output of high-quality orthopaedic research in Australia.
专业团体中强大的研究能力和文化(RCC)预测其将参与高质量的研究,并将证据融入实践。然而,目前尚不清楚澳大利亚骨科医生的 RCC 参与和发展的因素。
横断面调查。
邀请所有澳大利亚骨科协会成员完成已验证的研究能力和文化工具的个体领域。
163 名澳大利亚骨科协会成员(9%)提供了调查答案。调查结果表明,AOA 成员在大多数 RCC 领域(15 个中的 14 个)的得分中等或偏高。完成研究的障碍包括缺乏时间、其他工作角色优先、缺乏研究资金。
在这项研究中接受调查的澳大利亚骨科协会成员表现出足够的研究技能和经验,尽管他们报告说,他们可能需要额外的支持来确保资金和导航特定的研究任务。增加未来与学术机构和临床研究人员的合作,可能会提高澳大利亚高质量骨科研究的产出。
