“…[ 41–43 ]. Moreover, in many cases, the networks explicitly stated that they set as a priority research capacity-building activity already from the 1990s [ 44–47 ], and some built research-designated practices as part of more robust research infrastructures [ 23 , 48–50 ].…”

“…PBRNs have typically been built by a core of research-motivated clinicians [ 14 , 20–22 ]. The recruitment of practices with established relationships with academia due to training and research has been a common pathway to set up a network [ 21 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, PBRNs have provided value-added incentives to their members to maintain their motivation for research participation [ 25–27 ].…”

Objective To illustrate the views of chief physicians in Finnish primary healthcare health centres (HCs) on the existing research capacity of their centres, their attitudes to practice-based research network activity, and research topics of interest to them. Design A cross-sectional survey study. Setting Finnish HCs. Subjects Chief physicians in Finnish HCs. Main outcome measures We used a questionnaire that included five-point Likert scales and multiple choice and open-ended questions to identify the chief physician’s profile, the HC content, the attitudes of chief physicians towards engagement in research, research topics of interest to them, and factors that may influence their motivation. Descriptive methods were used for the analysis of the quantitative data, while the qualitative data were processed using inductive thematic analysis. Results There was a relatively good representation of all hospital districts. One-third of HCs had at least one person doing research, and 61% of chief physicians would support research in their setting. Their stimulus for research was primarily testing new therapies, protocols, and care processes, as well as effectiveness and healthcare improvement. The expected benefits that motivate engagement in Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are evidence-based practice and raised professional capacity and profile of the HC. Conclusions Chief physicians regard research as an elementary part of the development of primary care practices and health policy. Their motivation to engage in PBRN activity is determined by the relevance of the research to their interests and the management of competing priorities and resource limitations.
