“…Students’ development of positive attitudes towards scientific research is an essential component of modern undergraduate medical education (8). Broadly speaking, attitudes towards scientific research and a future research profession are considerably influenced by preceding training in scientific research (9), encouraging faculty staff (10), incentive research-supporting environment (11), gender differences (12, 13), institutional hindrances, and cultural obstacles. In addition, there are limited studies that attempted to explore barriers to undergraduate research among medical students (10, 14).…”
