Abstract

Conducting high‐quality medical research that enhances patient care, advances medical education, decreases costs and benefits society as a whole, is a significant yet frequently undervalued task. It is necessary to implement appropriate procedures when a medical college is newly established, since this presents an opportunity to undertake this study. To identify the barriers faced by the researches for various domains. Study included currently working faculties including senior residents and demonstrators as participants. A structured questionnaire with close ended responses was used which covered the baseline characteristics of subjects and perceived research barriers among researcher. The study was initiated after obtaining the institutional ethical approval. During analysis of data an association between variables was significant for p<0.05. In present study out of 217 eligible participants only 156 of them participated. The mean age of participants was 35.40±4.45 years. Among various barrier domains the individual items having lowest mean rank were lack of acknowledgement (2.30±1.06) and lack of a research cell. The difference in the scores for various domains was not significantly associated with participants age, designation and gender (p>0.05). Despite the presence of a young workforce, it was surprising to notice that about half of the faculty members did not consider research as a part of their job responsibility, probably due to lack of acknowledgement, lack of implementation of research findings, difficulty in getting scholar/fellowships, lack of confidence for their role and lack of sufficient financial budget. Time, acknowledgment, workshop, analytical tools.
