INTRODUCTION: Scientific research is the key to advancing a country's healthcare system, as it yields critical knowledge that can address specific clinical challenges and guide the development of effective healthcare strategies. In this context, orthopedic surgeons in Argentina established the Argentine Research Support Group (GAIA-Grupo de Apoyo a la Investigación de Argentina) to promote and support local research on musculoskeletal trauma. This study aimed to assess the level of training, interest, and barriers related to research among Argentine trauma surgeons. METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using an anonymous and voluntary electronic survey (Microsoft Forms®) between August and November 2024. The survey consisted of six closed-ended questions, with simple (questions 1-4) and multiple (questions 5 and 6) response options. The first four questions investigated demographic characteristics and the number of publications, while the last two assessed training and interest in receiving specific research training. The Argentine Research Support Group (AO Trauma Latin America) designed the survey. RESULTS: A total of 467 (14.1%) responses were collected. Of these, 162 (35%) surgeons reported having published at least once, and 14 (3%) had received training on all survey topics. Regarding the reasons for not publishing (the remaining 305-65%), the most common responses were the lack of a research support group (29%) and insufficient protected time (28%). Concerning interest in receiving specific training, the most frequent responses were related to study design (56%), manuscript writing (58%), and external support from a research group (59%). CONCLUSION: This study highlights the low frequency of publications and the strong interest in participating in research studies among Argentine trauma surgeons. The lack of training and knowledge in essential research aspects and the absence of support groups were identified as modifiable barriers. Future educational and collaborative national and regional action plans must address this issue.
引言:科学研究是推动一个国家医疗体系发展的关键,因为它能产生关键知识,用以应对特定临床挑战并指导有效医疗策略的制定。在此背景下,阿根廷的骨科医生成立了阿根廷研究支持小组(GAIA - Grupo de Apoyo a la Investigación de Argentina),以促进和支持当地关于肌肉骨骼创伤的研究。本研究旨在评估阿根廷创伤外科医生的研究培训水平、兴趣以及相关障碍。 方法:于2024年8月至11月间使用匿名自愿电子调查问卷(Microsoft Forms®)进行了一项横断面描述性研究。该调查问卷包含六个封闭式问题,有简单(问题1 - 4)和多项(问题5和6)回答选项。前四个问题调查人口统计学特征和发表文章数量,而后两个问题评估培训情况以及接受特定研究培训的兴趣。该调查问卷由阿根廷研究支持小组(AO创伤拉丁美洲)设计。 结果:共收集到467份(14.1%)回复。其中,162名(35%)外科医生报告至少发表过一次文章,14名(3%)接受过所有调查主题的培训。关于未发表文章的原因(其余305名 - 65%),最常见的回答是缺乏研究支持小组(29%)和受保护时间不足(28%)。关于接受特定培训的兴趣,最常见的回答与研究设计(56%)、稿件撰写(58%)以及研究小组的外部支持(59%)有关。 结论:本研究凸显了阿根廷创伤外科医生发表文章的频率较低以及参与研究的浓厚兴趣。在关键研究方面缺乏培训和知识以及缺乏支持小组被确定为可改变的障碍。未来的国家和地区教育及合作行动计划必须解决这一问题。
