ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, fiziyatri uzmanlarının bilimsel araştırmalara
yönelik karşılaştıkları engelleri ve motivasyon kaynaklarını değerlendirmekti.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Google Forms üzerinden tasarlanan
anket, fiziyatri uzmanlarına e-posta ve sosyal medya platformları aracılığıyla
iletildi. Anket katılımcıların demografik bilgilerine yönelik sorularla
birlikte “Bilimsel Çalışma Engelleri Anketi”ni içermekteydi. Katılımcılara
ayrıca kendilerini bilimsel çalışma yürütme sürecinde motive ve demotive
eden 3 faktörü belirtmelerini isteyen açık uçlu bir soru da yöneltildi. Bulgular:
Çalışmaya toplamda 245 anket sonucu dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların
123’ü kadın, 122’si erkekti. Katılımcıların %33,1’i asistan doktor, %45,3’ü
uzman doktor ve %21,6’sı akademisyendi. Başlıca motive edici faktörler, bilimsel
ilerlemeye katkıda bulunma isteği, bilgi edinme ve akademik camiada
tanınma olarak belirlendi. Demotive edici faktörler arasında ise en sık klinik
iş yükü, sınırlı kaynaklar ve araştırma sürecindeki zorluklar yer aldı.
Kadın katılımcıların erkek katılımcılara göre daha sık zaman kısıtlılığından
şikâyetçi olduğu görüldü. Evli katılımcılar, bekâr katılımcılara göre daha
fazla yetkinliğe sahip olduklarını bildirdiler. Sonuç: Fiziyatristlerin bilimsel
araştırmalar hakkında karşılaştıkları en büyük zorluklar zaman kısıtlamaları,
araştırma desteği ve kaynakların eksikliği ile araştırma ve yayınlama
sürecindeki zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Motivasyon faktörleriyse bilimsel ilerlemeye
katkıda bulunma isteği, bilgi edinme ve akademik tanınma şeklinde
sıralanabilir. Bu engelleri ve motivasyonları anlamak, fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon
alanındaki araştırma üretkenliğini artırmak ve fiziyatri uzmanlarını
bilimsel araştırmalar yapmalarında desteklemek için yeni ve etkili
stratejiler geliştirmeye yardımcı olabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Fiziksel tıp ve rehabilitasyon; bilimsel araştırma; bilimsel üretkenlik; akademik motivasyon; akademik demotivasyon
ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the obstacles and
motivations encountered by physiatrists regarding scientific research (SR).
Material and Methods: A survey designed using Google Forms was distributed
to physiatrists via email and social media channels. The survey collected
participants' demographic information and included the "Research
Barriers Scale." Participants were also asked an open-ended question to
identify three factors that motivated and demotivated them during the process
of conduct scientific research. Results: Two hundred and forty five
valid questionnaires were included in the analysis. The sample included 123
female participants and 122 male participants. Regarding their professional
roles, 33.1% were resident physicians, 45.3% were specialist physicians,
and 21.6% were academicians.Demotivating factors included clinical workload,
limited resources, and challenges in the research process. Female participants
reported significantly more time constraints than males. Married
participants demonstrated greater competence than their single counterparts.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that physiatrists show a strong interest in
engaging in SR, but they face challenges related to limited time availability
and insufficient research support. Other barriers include time constraints,
lack of research support and resources, and challenges in the research and
publishing process. Motivations for research include the desire to contribute
to scientific progress, knowledge acquisition, and academic recognition. Understanding
these barriers and motivations can help inform strategies to enhance
research productivity and support physiatrists in conduct research in
physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Keywords: Physical medicine and rehabilitation; scientific research; scientific productivity; academic motivation; academic demotivation
