“…The levels of research expertise among study participants who took lecture-based research courses vs problem-based research courses were not noticeably different. According to Abdul Haseeb, et al [12], problem-based learning is superior to lecture-based learning in terms of obtaining a higher knowledge score in research methodology.…”

Background: In medical institutes, research is a significant part of postgraduate education. Only a small number of emergency residents were able to publish their study, though. According to reports, some of the barriers to conducting research include a lack of cash and time, inadequate infrastructure, inadequate research expertise and technique, and poor research beliefs. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical residents' knowledge, attitudes, practices, and impediments to conducting research. Methods: The study was conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and involved the King Saud Medical City (KSMC), King Salman Hospital, Aliman General Hospital, and Imam Abdulrahman Alfaisal Hospital. The research was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data about residents was acquired between February 2023 and April 2023. In comparison to other hospitals, KSMC is a notable university hospital in Saudi Arabia with more years of postgraduate training experience. Only ambulatory emergency residents were recruited for this investigation. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire that had been evaluated beforehand. The survey was modified from a verified survey created by Vodopivec et al. Many developing nations employ the tool for comparable surveys. Results: 124 residents participated in the study. The participant's background characteristics are displayed in Table 1. The participants' average age was 27. Over 30 was the age range for 69.3% of the participants. Men made up 71.7% of the participants. Only 22.1% of postgraduate students reported having such training. Additionally, 28% of them had publications, and 54.4% had some experience in research. Research training received during graduate studies had a greater favorable impact on research practice than research training received during undergraduate schooling (p 0.02). Conclusion: Although the participants had a favorable attitude toward research, their practice was insufficient due to their lack of understanding of it. The gap between a high level of optimism, limited research understanding, and scant research practice need to be filled. Perhaps by enhancing their expertise while pursuing graduate courses, this can be accomplished. To advance residents' knowledge and research practice, it is advised that they have access to improved financial support and research mentorship.

“…According to Haseeb et al ., problem-based learning achieves a higher knowledge score than lecture-based learning. [ 21 ] As lack of time was stated as the main obstacle in conducting research, dedicating a time period of 1–3 months for research during the training period may improve the practice of MR. Providing guidance by the mentors and periodic assessment of the research work by mentors also improve the practice of research. Medical teachers should also be trained in research methodology, so that they can motivate the residents and research experience of the teachers should be assessed at the time of their appointment by the university.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to study the awareness of medical research (MR) among resident doctors in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted for 30 days among the residents of paraclinical, surgical, and nonsurgical specialties, based on a customized self-prepared questionnaire. Convenience sampling was done. Undergraduates, interns, and faculty members were excluded from the study. Scoring was given from 1 to 10 based on their responses to the ten knowledge-based questions in the questionnaire. Data regarding the publication of research articles if any, obstacles in conducting research, and suggestions to improve the research awareness were recorded. Descriptive analysis of the data was done. Based on the scoring, they were divided into three groups: below average if the score is <5, average if the score is 5–7, and above average if the score is 8–10. Results: A total of 364 resident doctors were included in the study. They were divided into three groups which include paraclinical ( n = 56, 15%), surgical ( n = 132, 36%), and nonsurgical branches ( n = 176, 48%). Scores for the three levels, i.e., below average, average, and above average were 0, 39% ( n = 140), and 61% ( n = 224), respectively. Forty-eight percent of participants had a publication. Obstacles for conducting the research included lack of time (55%), lack of interest (29%), lack of guidance (35%), and lack of material and teaching (45%). The majority ( n = 300, 82%) suggested that conducting more interactive sessions or teaching programs may help in improving the awareness on research. Conclusions: Most of the resident doctors had a fair knowledge of MR but its application into practice was limited. Including research as a part of the medical curriculum, conducting educational programs or conferences oriented on research may improve the awareness about research.

Introduction: Health research training is an important component of the medical curriculum. This study was conducted to compare the approach of medical students being taught through an integrated modular curriculum with the students receiving conventional mode of education towards health research. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 3rd-year MBBS students following Lecture Based Learning and Problem Based Learning (groups A and B respectively). A self-designed pretested questionnaire was filled by 153 students of each group (from group A in 2019 and group B in 2020) through a simple randomized sampling technique. Analysis was done using SPSS 21. P-value <0.05 was considered to be significant for all purposes. Results: Mean knowledge score of PBL students was 50% against a score of 55.5% of LBL students (p-value=0.114). However, the mean attitude score of PBL students was 79.2% against a score of 67.4% of LBL students (p-value< 0.000). Over 49.6% of LBL students and 41.8% of PBL students had satisfactory knowledge. 19.7% of LBL students and 82.3% of PBL students had a satisfactory attitude. Conclusion: Significantly higher attitude of PBL students was found. However, the level of knowledge was found to be the same in both groups. PBL curriculum has a positive influence on students on their attitudes towards health research.
