Journal Title: National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: The current study was conducted to investigate the research barriers and challenges faced by graduate students in Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Aims and Objectives: This study is among the applied studies in terms of objective and descriptive survey in terms of method of study. Materials and Methods: Population of the study included 72 graduate students, selected using stratified sampling method among 227 people. The tool of the study included a researcher-developed questionnaire, which contained seven parts including demographic characteristics, personal barriers, organizational barriers, job factors, structural and communicative factors, and normative and ethical factors, and three open questions. The questions related to barriers and the questions related to factors were developed based on the 5-point Likert scale. Results: One of the most important structural and communicative factors influencing the scientific production of graduate students is solving the academic errors of student by professor, stimulating and encouraging the student by professor, stimulating the thought or brainstorming of the student by professor, and student and professor discussion, and exchange of views on the subject. Findings of multiple regressions revealed that job and organizational factors predict 22% scientific productions. Structural and communicative factors and normative and ethical factors predict 31% and 14% of variations invariance, respectively. Conclusion: The priorities influencing the scientific production of graduate students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences included job and organizational factors, normative and ethical factors, and structural and communicative factors.
