“…2,6 Several studies were conducted to identify the knowledge, barriers and distracting attitudes of undergraduate as well as postgraduate medical students towards research and recognized a huge diverse group of causes leading to lower level of interest in research including inadequate awareness, motivation and training, resources, financial and time constraints, lack of incentives, age, gender, marital status and insufficient mentorship. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The rationale of this study was absence of local statistics regarding factors responsible for lack of interest of PG trainees in conduction of original clinical research. There is also existence of a research gap in this field, though various studies have been carried out to identify the reason of this problem and ample data is available about the factors deviating undergraduate medical students from research but there is limited data available about PG medical trainees.…”

Background: Conduct of clinical research requires time, resources, dedication, enthusiasm, willingness, knowledge, training of research methodology, and practical skills. Postgraduate medical students show lack of interest towards clinical research attributed to a diverse group of causes. Objectives: The objective of current mixed method study was to evaluate factors contributing to lack of interest in clinical research among PG trainees at PUMHSW SBA. Study Design: This is a Mixed Method Study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Peoples University of medical & health sciences for women Shaheed Benazir Abad Sind (PUMHSW - a public sector medical university) from September to November 2022. Methodology: After taking approval from the Institutional Ethical review committee and obtaining written informed consent from the 50 participants selected by purposeful sampling. Two focus group discussions (FGD) were arranged, which were recorded and transcribed. Thematic content analysis of these transcripts was carried out. In the subsequent phase the predesigned validated questionnaire was used and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 92% (46/50) responded, of those 21 were females. The knowledge regarding research and its methodology was 89-93%. Eighty-nine percent strongly agreed to include research in the curriculum and believed that it would facilitate better patient outcome and clinical practice (89.1%). All respondents opined that faculty and mentors play a crucial role in the conduct of research. Factor hindering interest in research were lack of previous exposure to research (54.3%), lack of research curriculum (45.7%), deficient statistical support (43.5%), disinterested faculty (30.4%), lack of time due to heavy ward duties (39.1%), and family commitments (37%). Practical Implication: Conduct of clinical research requires time, resources, dedication, enthusiasm, willingness, knowledge, training of research methodology, and practical skills. Current study will provide help to the new researchers to solve their research hazards for new and innovative developments. Conclusion: Majority of the participants had some knowledge about research and its positive impacts on clinical practice. Factors identified to cause lack of interest included lack of research curriculum, statistical support, time, previous knowledge, financial and family issues. Keywords: Clinical research, factors, lack of interest, attitude, post graduate trainees.

Objective: To compare the research obstacles including lack of proper training, previous exposure, time management, motivation, faculty research knowledge, skill, social constrains and lack of interest among post-graduate residents of Balochistan with those of Children’s Hospital, Lahore. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Dental College, Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences, Quetta, Quetta Institute of Medical Sciences & Institute of Public Health of Balochistan, from Mar to May 2018, and Children’s Hospital Lahore, Lahore, from Jul to Aug 2017. Methodology: A total of 72 postgraduates from three different institutes of Balochistan and 90 from Children’s Hospital, Lahore were recruited in this study. The questionnaire was distributed to the participants of both institutions; data was collected & entered into SPSS version 22. Results: Female predominance (64.4%) was observed in post-graduates of Children’s Hospital, Lahore in comparison to institutions from Balochistan while there were 61% males. Majority (90%) post-graduate residents of Balochistan recognized time management, deficient laboratory and other facilities followed by lack of mentoring by faculty 59 (83%) and lack of motivation 60 (84%) as the most important factors that hinder their scientific activities. Additionally, 91 (86.6%) postgraduates of Children’s Hospital, Lahore suggested lack of proper research training and 87 (83.3%) suggested lack of previous exposure as the main hindering factors in their research work. Conclusion: Post-graduate residents of diverse economic, educational and cultural backgrounds present different perceptions about research hurdles. However, those from both provinces identified that lack of..........
