A decline in the number of health professionals (HPs) engaging in clinical and healthcare research has spurred governments, educational and healthcare organisations to focus on developing strategies to promote a resurgence of clinical researchers. Based on the Expectancy-Value-Cost theory which offers a comprehensive framework to understand motivation in research, this study aimed to explore how motivations and perceived values of research evolve across different career stages, and develop a model that promotes sustained research motivation.
This study employed a phenomenological qualitative research design and individual interviews to explore the experiences of 30 HPs (doctors, nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals) across three career stages-early, mid, and late-at three North Queensland Public Hospitals from March 19 to April 15, 2021. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants, and data were analysed through inductive thematic analysis.
Six themes emerged, categorised into individual, organizational, and sociocultural factors. Individual: Back to Basics and Career Aspirations Influence Research Value; Organisational: Cumbersome Processes and Resource Accessibility; Sociocultural: Building Research Capacity through Connections and Supportive Relationships Enhance Motivation. These themes informed the development of the RISES model, a multi-layered framework emphasising a collaborative approach to addressing individual, organisational, and sociocultural factors to support HPs' sustained research engagement.
The study provides valuable insights into the lived experiences of HPs in relation to research, highlighting the intricate interplay of factors affecting their motivation. It introduces the RISES model to encourage ongoing research motivation and suggests further research to expand on these findings and explore additional aspects of research engagement in healthcare.
从事临床和医疗保健研究的卫生专业人员数量下降，促使政府、教育和医疗保健组织专注于制定促进临床研究人员数量回升的战略。基于期望-价值-成本理论提供了一个理解研究动机的综合框架，本研究旨在探讨研究动机和感知价值如何在不同职业阶段演变，并开发一个促进持续研究动机的模型。
本研究采用现象学定性研究设计和个人访谈，以探索2021年3月19日至4月15日期间在北昆士兰三所公立医院的30名卫生专业人员（医生、护士、助产士和专职医疗人员）在早期、中期和后期三个职业阶段的经历。采用目的抽样技术选择参与者，并通过归纳主题分析对数据进行分析。
出现了六个主题，分为个人、组织和社会文化因素。个人：回归基础和职业抱负影响研究价值；组织：繁琐的流程和资源可及性；社会文化：通过联系和支持性的关系建立研究能力可增强动机。这些主题为RISES模型的开发提供了依据，这是一个多层次框架，强调采用协作方法来解决个人、组织和社会文化因素，以支持卫生专业人员持续参与研究。
该研究为卫生专业人员在研究方面的实际经历提供了有价值的见解，突出了影响其动机的因素之间的复杂相互作用。它引入了RISES模型以鼓励持续的研究动机，并建议进一步开展研究以扩展这些发现，并探索医疗保健研究参与的其他方面。
