BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES:Research plays a vital role in medical profession as far as patient care is concerned. Hence, this study was undertaken with objective of assessing awareness regarding research in medical students of Central India and their interest, involvement, and barriers in research activities with emphasis on need of research in medical curriculum. MATERIAL &METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study carried out on 475 MBBS students, selected by simple random sampling from January-June 2013. Data was collected and analyzed for percentage, mean and standard deviation. RESULTS: 94.7% students responded, 99.5% students were aware about research, and 94% students were interested in research, 99.3% thought that research is important in medical field and 91.3% were willing to contribute to research project. Barriers for research were no extra time for research (62.6%) and lack of guidance (21.5%). 84.4% students agreed that research should be included as a part of medical curriculum. CONCLUSION: The study showed that majority of students were aware of research and interested in research, but some significant barriers were deterring them from active participation in research. Barriers need to improve properly to promote research in medical students and research should be incorporated in medical curriculum.

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Studies on chiropractic students' attitudes specifically have also been done. For example, Newell and Cunliffe 19 conducted such a study on undergraduate students at McTimoney Chiropractic College and found that 64% of their 119 student respondents found research interesting, 54% thought it was difficult, and 75% considered chiropractic research to be necessary.…”

Objective: The shift toward evidence-based health care has reoriented tertiary clinical education in a way that necessitates and incorporates research. This study assesses the inclination and suitability of chiropractic students for research over a 5-year educational program. Methods: Research attributes of chiropractic students were assessed in this cross-sectional study using a validated and modified academic self-concept analysis scale. Students in first and final year were assessed in 4 domains: creativity, motivation, self-regulation, and general intellectual ability. Univariable differences were assessed using Welch 2-sample t tests, and multivariable analysis was carried out with multiple linear regression models. Results: The response rate was 71% (n ¼ 165). First-and fifth-year students scored highly on all 4 domains (80% to 96%). Compared to first-year students, fifth-year students rated themselves significantly lower in 3 of the domains Conclusion:Research suitability is high in chiropractic students. Both cohorts scored high in all domains despite the disparity between first and fifth years. First-year students outperformed fifth-year students in 3 domains, indicating a potential decline in the inclination to do research over time. However, unaccounted factors, such as the DunningKruger effect, life changes, and ''burnout,'' may have contributed to these differences. Future studies should include questions about stress, fatigue, clinical orientation, and educational environment to inform the interpretation of findings.
