Abstract

BACKGROUND

Family medicine lacks a tradition of research training during residency. Previous studies of research during residency have surveyed faculty to assess residents' research interests. In contrast, we directly assessed research interest and activity during residency by surveying all 203 Wisconsin family practice residents.

METHODS

The survey instrument was a questionnaire that included questions about the appropriateness of research experience, interest in pursuing research during residency, involvement in research, and perceptions regarding program research support. The importance of factors that encourage research were evaluated. We then used stepwise discriminant analysis to assess whether residents with different levels of interest in research had different perceptions about program support and environmental factors that promote research.

RESULTS

Of 143 respondents, most (85%) felt research experience was desirable, and 48% were interested in pursuing research during residency. Only 8% were active in research. Although faculty were perceived as having sufficient research skills and encouraging resident research, few residents responded that dedicated time, seminars on goals and methods of family practice research, or funding were available. Residents with research interests were more likely to respond that their faculty had sufficient research skills and knowledge. Active researchers rated time availability and access to resource personnel as highly important. Those interested, but not active, rated basic information, assistance in identifying topics, and a forum for presentation as highly important.

CONCLUSION

Exposure to skilled and knowledgeable faculty researchers may stimulate interest in research. Teaching research goals and methods, assisting in identifying topics, and providing research forums, especially early in residency, may promote research activity. Dedicated time for research and availability of resource personnel will enhance this activity.

摘要

背景

家庭医学在住院医师培训期间缺乏研究培训的传统。以往关于住院医师培训期间研究情况的研究通过对教员进行调查来评估住院医师的研究兴趣。相比之下，我们通过对威斯康星州的所有203名家庭医学住院医师进行调查，直接评估了他们在住院医师培训期间的研究兴趣和活动情况。

方法

调查工具是一份问卷，其中包括有关研究经历的适当性、住院医师培训期间从事研究的兴趣、参与研究的情况以及对项目研究支持的看法等问题。评估了鼓励研究的因素的重要性。然后，我们使用逐步判别分析来评估对研究兴趣不同程度的住院医师对项目支持和促进研究的环境因素是否有不同的看法。

结果

在143名受访者中，大多数（85%）认为研究经历是可取的，48%的人有兴趣在住院医师培训期间从事研究。只有8%的人积极参与研究。尽管认为教员具备足够的研究技能并鼓励住院医师进行研究，但很少有住院医师表示有专门的时间、家庭医学研究目标和方法的研讨会或资金。有研究兴趣的住院医师更有可能表示他们的教员具备足够的研究技能和知识。积极从事研究的人员将时间可用性和获得资源人员的帮助视为非常重要。有兴趣但不积极的人员将基本信息、确定研究主题的协助以及一个展示论坛视为非常重要。
