Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The ever-increasing population and life expectancy worldwide lead to a higher prevalence of physical disabilities and diseases, which increases the need for physical medicine and rehabilitation research. In our study, we aimed to evaluate various aspects of the barriers, particularly gender disparities, faced by physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals who wish to conduct scientific research.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physicians in physical medicine and rehabilitation must also put in tremendous effort and manage their time meticulously to contribute to scientific research (SR). Research requires knowledge, experience, and institutional support, such as financial incentives, technical facilities, and trained personnel. In this field, research productivity is increasingly important due to the rising prevalence of conditions such as age-related disability and chronic pain, which put pressure on the healthcare system and affect people's quality of life. Turkey's publication productivity in physical medicine and rehabilitation has also increased steadily in recent years, with a significant number of articles published between 2015 and 2020. However, gender disparities in academic leadership positions persist in this field as well, with women lagging behind men in the number of scientific publications. While bibliometric studies are useful for assessing the current state of scientific performance, survey studies are necessary to identify obstacles that deter researchers and increase research productivity. Unfortunately, few studies have used this approach in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and no such study has been conducted in Turkey.

Research Barriers Scale

Intervention Type OTHER

This scale was prepared after a detailed literature review and sent to five physiatrists for review and feedback. It consists of 21 items with Likert-type responses and two open-ended questions. It is designed to measure the barriers that individuals or groups face in conducting research. The scale includes a list of potential barriers and asks respondents to rate the extent to which they experience each barrier. Examples of barriers that may be included in such a scale could include lack of funding, limited access to resources or equipment, time constraints, difficulty finding participants or accessing data, institutional or administrative hurdles, and so on.
