AI Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights that many cancer health professionals lack knowledge about research processes, which affects the quality of evidence-based care they provide.
- - A survey of 201 professionals revealed that time constraints (84%), heavy workloads (72%), and limited funding (74%) were major barriers to conducting research, with gaps in skills like quantitative analysis (79%) identified.
- - The majority (66%) of respondents expressed interest in further education on research, indicating a clear need for training and integration of research principles into both ongoing professional development and undergraduate programs in healthcare.
Article Abstract
Inadequate knowledge about research processes within cancer health services has the potential to limit the development of evidence-based care. A survey was emailed to 201 health professionals working in cancer services in a major city to identify perceived levels of research knowledge and barriers to conducting research. Eighty-five people (42%) responded. Barriers to conducting research included time-constraints (84%), workload (72%), limited research funding (74%) and limited knowledge (34%). Gaps in research knowledge included performing quantitative analyses (79%), gaining funds (71%), using qualitative and quantitative research methods (62 and 67%) and formulating a research proposal (54%). More nurses reported having gaps in research knowledge than other professions. Two thirds (66%) of participants reported an interest in further education. There is a need for research training for practising health professionals and a focus on research as the basis for providing evidence-based care in undergraduate courses. Research, translation of research into practice and evidence-based care need to be incorporated into health professional roles throughout their careers.
