“…According to the results of present research, in terms of the individual restraining factors, lack of time due to job preoccupation has had the highest frequency in view of professors; this is consistent with results of the study of Tan M et al, Hemsley-Brown J et al and Roxburgh M. [20][21][22] This individual barrier can be caused by the multiple responsibilities of professors in the training, consulting, and executive and administrative areas in university environments. Engaging in executive and administrative activities, in addition to take a lot of valuable time of faculty members who can be spent on research and science production, has also this threat as a consequence that being continuous of staying in such posts creates gradually a kind of administrative tendency and routine in these individuals.…”

Background: Due to its role in identifying educational, research, health problems and providing a solution to prevail upon the problems related to public health, the research in the Medical Sciences University has a special importance. The present research aims to determine the restraining factors of doing research from the viewpoint of professors and students of the Medical Sciences University of Ardabil; it was conducted in 2014. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 250 individuals from between the professors (50 individuals) and students (200 individuals) of the various academic disciplines of medical sciences were selected by way of completely random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire containing 3 parts: demographic information, individual barriers (10 questions) and organizational and environmental barriers (25 questions) based on the binary scale (Yes or No). By using the descriptive statistics and student t-test, data were analyzed with the significance level of 0.05, in the software SPSS19. Results: In the area of organizational factors, the most important restraining factor of the research activities of students was the lack of access to information sources (73.2%) and in the area of individual factors the main obstacle was lack of domination in English (68.6%). Also, the administrative restrictive regulations (73.3%) as the most important organizational restraining factor and lack of time due to job preoccupation (68.9%) as the main individual barrier were recognized for doing research in view of professors. There is not any statistical significant difference between the view of students under study in all the influential individual barriers other than the being unimportant of research from my view and having the negative attitude towards the research works in the view of professors. Also, there is a significant difference between students' view in all effective organizational barriers other than lack of research in the chapter heading of courses of most of fields and the professors' view. In total the score of organizational barriers was more than that of the individual barriers. Conclusion: Organizational barriers and personal barriers have an important role in doing the research in the Medical Sciences University of Ardabil; these barriers can be passed through. The availability of consulting forces and sufficient and necessary counseling, teaching know-how and attitude correction, compensating the lack of facilities and equipment, creating the motivation by the authorities and educating and empowering as executive working procedures are recommended for overcoming the research barriers in the universities.

“…Teaching that is only upon memorizing the texts and journals of the developed world is no doubt ineffective in solving problems of developing countries (King, 2004). On the other hand, researchers who conduct research in developing countries and having sufficient experience and motivation (Roxburgh, 2006), February 2015, Vol. 5, No.…”

Abstract:Employing adequate manpower is one of the major concerns of modern organizations. As Faculty members having specific characteristics, they are not available when necessary and this requires planning in order to predict their demand in time. In this research, using trend analysis as one of the quantitative method for estimation, first the predictive variables including BA,MA and PhD students also the published articles are predicted for five years, then by using regression equations models, the faculty members by rank, age and gender are forecasted. The findings showed that associate professors, aged 46 to 55 years are the most necessary manpower to be employed. Also the percentage of female faculty members shows significant growth.

“…Although clinical nurses are predominantly portrayed as having a positive attitude to research, many studies conducted on their utilization and participation in nursing research focus on the nurses' self-perceived barriers and deficiencies with respect to pursuing research in the clinical setting (Adamsen et al, 2003;Akerjordet et al, 2012;Breimaier et al, 2011;Brown et al, 2010;Carlson and Plonczynski, 2008;Chan et al, 2011;Higgins et al, 2010;McMaster et al, 2013;Roxburgh, 2006). Breimaier et al (2011) conducted a selfreport questionnaire study of 1023 Austrian hospital nurses, and found three main barriers to research utilization to be lack of time (70%), lack of information and/or knowledge (46%) and lack of interest (26%).…”
