This survey endeavours to assess the research productivity of PhD degree holders affiliated with Canadian academic departments of psychiatry.
A questionnaire was adapted to suit the Canadian milieu and was distributed to a target population of 2484, of whom 345 were nonmedical PhDs.
Out of 861 respondents, 148 indicated that they held a PhD degree only--a response rate of 42.9% for that subgroup. PhD respondents engaged in significantly more research activities than MDs. Their fields of research activity differed according to amount of time spent in research activities. Few gender differences were observed.
The recruitment of sole PhD holders is an indicator of the current research needs of departments and of the dearth of candidates for these positions among MDs.
本调查旨在评估加拿大精神病学学术部门所属博士学位持有者的研究产出。
对一份调查问卷进行了调整以适应加拿大的环境，并分发给2484名目标人群，其中345人是非医学博士。
在861名受访者中，148人表示他们仅拥有博士学位——该亚组的回复率为42.9%。拥有博士学位的受访者从事的研究活动明显多于医学博士。他们的研究活动领域因在研究活动上花费的时间不同而有所差异。几乎未观察到性别差异。
招聘仅拥有博士学位的人员表明了各部门当前的研究需求以及医学博士中这些职位候选人的短缺。
