“…Moreover, it is also important for the understanding of diseases and diagnosis which in turn influences quality of care provided to the patients. 1 Self-efficacy is believing in one's own ability to successfully complete a certain task by organizing the actions required for a person to exhibit a certain result. 2 Research self-efficacy can be characterized as one's trust in his/her capacity to effectively complete tasks such as literature reviews and data analysis.…”

Objective: The current study aimed to explore clinical research efficacy of teaching and practicing medical professionals in Pakistan. The role of socio-demographic factors in this context was also investigated. Methods: This study using cross-sectional research design was carried out from August to December 2019. A sample of teaching and practicing medical professionals (N=96) was collected through purposive sampling from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Clinical Research Appraisal Inventory (CRAI) was used along with the demographic datasheet. Research data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-21). Results: The results of the study revealed that teaching and practicing medical professionals feel most competent in ‘collaborating with others’ while the research area in which they feel least competent is ‘securing funds for a study’. It was found that there are significant differences in the research efficacy of teaching and practicing medical professionals with reference to age (p< 0.00), gender (p< 0.01), designation (p< 0.00), number of articles published (p< 0.00), number of articles under review (p< 0.03), number of articles submitted (p< 0.03), and number of funded projects completed (p< 0.02). Satisfaction with salary and number of hours at work per week have no impact on their research efficacy. Conclusions: Findings have implications for policy makers and medical institutions to promote research skills in teaching and practicing medical professionals. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.3.2395 How to cite this:Akhtar M, Irfan A.

BACKGROUND:Research self-efficacy is one of the main factors influencing the successful conduction of research and following it in students. This study was performed with the aim of determining the research self-efficacy and its relationship with academic performance in postgraduate students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) in 2016.MATERIALS AND METHODS:This cross-sectional study was performed on 320 postgraduate students of TUMS in 2016. Proportional stratified sampling was done with simple random sampling from each school. The data were gathered with Phillips and Russell's research self-efficacy questionnaire, demographic questions, and grade point average (GPA) and were analyzed with independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regressions in SPSS 18.RESULTS:Out of 320 students participating in this study, 152 patients (47.5%) were male and 168 (52.5%) were female with the mean age of 27.83 ± 4.3 years. The mean of research self-efficacy score was 186.18 ± 59.5 which was significant depended on college degrees and was significantly higher in doctorate students (P = 0.0001). However, no significant difference was seen in research self-efficacy score of students due to gender (P = 0.754) and school (P = 0.364). There was a significant direct relationship between students’ GPA and research self-efficacy score (r = 0.393, P = 0.0001).CONCLUSIONS:Results of this study showed that the research self-efficacy score of TUMS postgraduate students is at an acceptable level, except the quantitative and computer skills that need appropriate educational interventions. As a direct and significant relationship existed between research self-efficacy score and student's academic performance, improving the research self-efficacy will also increase students’ academic performance.

“…But as far as the researchers' observation is concerned and based on the experiences shared by their students, research is difficult and uninteresting to study (Shaukat, Siddiquah, Abiodullah & Ali Akbar, 2014). Also, most students have negative attitudes and feelings toward research-related courses (Papanastasiou, 2006, Munir, Bolderston & Fcamrt, 2009. These attitudes affect achievement of students.…”

The aim of conducting this study is to identify and describe the level of self-efficacy, level of anxiety and attitude toward research of the third year pre-service teachers. Employing the descriptive crosssectional method of research, a survey questionnaire developed by the researchers based on the questionnaire adapted from Ozturk Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Educators' Attitudes toward Educational Scale and Papanastasiou's Attitude Toward Research (ATR) Scale was administered to 154 pre-service teachers. The results of the study revealed that the students taking Methods of Research in Education have a high level of anxiety in conducting research; they have an average self-efficacy or one's ability to perform specific research activities and have positive attitude toward research. Furthermore, the data showed that there is no significant relationship between level of anxiety and level of self-efficacy towards research of the respondents. Likewise, the results also show that no significant relationship exists between research self-efficacy and attitude towards research and level of anxiety and attitude towards research of respondents. However, a significant relationship exists between respondents' self-efficacy and respondents' attitudes towards research. Results were utilized for the innovation of the programs and activities to improve the self-efficacy and attitudes of the respondents toward research.
