Barriers to Completion of Research Projects Among Orthopaedic Trainees.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION & AIM:It is a requirement of the Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA) training program that surgical education training (SET) trainees demonstrate competency in clinical or basic science research as part of their teaching curriculum. The aim of this study is to identify barriers in completing research by the Victorian and Tasmanian Region AOA SET trainees. METHODS:We designed a short qualitative survey which was distributed to all Victorian and Tasmanian orthopaedic trainees through the AOA. The survey consisted of 18 questions most of which were based on a 5-point Likert scale with options to add comments based on individual experience. RESULTS:Thirty-two (61%) orthopaedic trainees responded to the survey. Two did not give consent for their data to be used. Trainees were more likely to abandon their research projects if they had insufficient time to complete a project (p = 0.01), had fewer opportunities to take part in research (p = 0.011), were unable to complete a research project within their hospital rotation (p = 0.024), and did not have access to funding (p = 0.025). CONCLUSION:A large amount of research is abandoned by trainees. The barriers to research completion are similar to those found in the literature, however, not all barriers identified in the literature were found to be barriers to the Victorian and Tasmanian Orthopaedic trainees. By identifying barriers to research completion within training programs, we hope to assist efficiency and help improve the likelihood of project completion as well as assist mentors in their guidance of trainees while conducting research.
