Level Of Importance

Objective: To describe types of current training/support received and elicit opinions on the level of importance of specific skills and resources needed to build confidence in conducting research for early-career pharmacy practice faculty. Methods: A survey instrument regarding available resources, levels of importance of resources, and skills needed to improve research confidence was sent to all new early-career practice faculty members with 3 or less years of experience in academia at 129 US colleges and schools of pharmacy. Results: Few respondents indicated a formal research training existed at their institution. Overall, a majority of respondents identified at least 14 specific developmental areas as moderately to very important in building confidence. Over 75% of respondents rated 15 basic skills as moderately to very important in successfully starting an individual research program. Conclusion: Although different types of research training programs are available, confidence in conducting research in both informal and formal ones is low. Both groups of respondents identified similar important developmental research areas that would increase their confidence and skills in achieving their early research goals.

ABSTRACT Objective: describe the experience of the proposal, process and results of a training program on qualitative research for nursing teachers based on the constructivist pedagogic model. Method: implementation of a course at a Nursing School in Uruguay from November 3, 2016 to October 12, 2017, in which thirty-nine teachers participated voluntarily. The description of the experience presented in this article is based on the assessment of the course made through participant observation, surveys and a dialogue session with the participants in which the results of the course were discussed. Results: through the implementation of the course, several achievements were accomplished, as well as challenges detected. We would like to highlight the interest received from the course managers and participants in the subject, the nine new research projects, the creation of a bibliographic material, videos and recordings repository, as well as the financial resource mobilization. The challenges were mainly structural and organizational; such as the limited time the participants had to do research and work in teams, the trouble to adopt a critical approach and difficulties with the communication systems. Conclusion: this article contributes to fill the existing gap in qualitative research teaching, and invites to reconsider iniciatives regarding the training of health personnel in the countries of the region, mainly through constructivist and participative models.

In the coming decades, health needs are likely to be characterized by great and rapid changes in their nature, in their dimensions, and in their relative importance. The list of forces that will affect them includes: growth of population and changes in its composition, concentration in large urban centers, high levels of social mobility both national and international, increasing size and complexity of organization, new and unexpected technologic developments in every phase of life, greater potentiality for affecting health, and rising expectations of health and fulfilment. Traditional organizations and methods for dealing with health needs will not prove adequate. The rate of social change requires that health professionals learn quickly to recognize changes in old problems and the emergence of new ones. They will need also to devise sensitive means to evaluate and modify programs and methods. The skills and knowledge of many disciplines will have to be brought to bear in order to identify problems and to find the means to solve them. Disorders arising from technical developments, from new and old agents in the environment, and as byproducts of medical developments, will require an improved surveillance system, new research methods, and new methods of control, in order to produce a cadre of workers equal to the task of discovery, innovation, planning, and leadership. Public health teaching requires emphasis on concepts, on research training and advanced technical competence, and on the ethical and human consequences of professional activities.

The Native American Research Centers for Health program was designed to foster research training and skill development for American Indian/Alaska Native trainees. Increasing the number of American Indian/Alaska Native researchers with advanced training in science is one strategy to help decrease health disparities in native peoples. Our NARCH program provided financial support and mentorship for professional and academic development of American Indian/Alaska Native award recipients. We report on an assessment of our NARCH training program that is directed toward increasing the number of qualified American Indian/Alaska Native researchers.

Career Structure

A report on research prospects for occupational therapists employed in Southampton was commissioned by the Director of Occupational Therapy Practice. This article relates the comments gleaned from interviews with 25 people. Obtaining research training and the lack of a career structure were discussed. Acknowledgement was made of the dilemma facing occupational therapists inasmuch as research is required to Justify occupational therapy to purchasers whilst at the same time managing heavy clinical caseloads so that contracts can be met. Occupational therapy managers were concerned that, if research was conducted by existing members of staff, these targets may not be met. The challenge for occupational therapy managers and clinicians is to balance and address these needs skilfully. Subsequently, the second author reviewed the literature. The complementary literature review relates how others have viewed the relevance of research to occupational therapy, the provision of training, support and a career path for research, and ways of synthesising research and clinical practice.

Aims and MethodFollowing the introduction of a new research mentoring process, a survey was conducted of Wessex specialist registrars' views on research training.ResultsOf 34 respondents, 26 (76.5%) had agreed a plan with a research mentor and 31 (91.2%) were making good use of their research day for specified purposes. Of 24 trainees undertaking research, 21 (87.5%) felt adequately supported, 20 (83.3%) were interested in their research, 16 (66.7%) enjoyed it and 21 (87.5%) gained research knowledge/skills.Clinical ImplicationsAgreeing a research training plan with a mentor, coupled with regularly reviewed support and supervision through a newly developed mentoring process, was associated with high levels of trainee satisfaction. Compared with a previous survey, these results indicate considerable improvement in research training.

Objectives The aims of this investigation were to evaluate the interests of primary care dental practitioners within the Mersey Postgraduate Deanery in research and their views on research, their experience and research training needs. Method A questionnaire was sent to all practitioners in the Mersey Deanery asking for views on dental research, whether they had been involved in any research projects or had any research training, and whether they would be interested in research training and being part of a primary dental care research network. Results A total of 192 practitioners from the 1120 in the Mersey Deanery expressed an interest in being involved in primary care research. Most believed that primary care research was very important in providing a stronger evidence-base in dentistry and improved quality of dental care. Over 50% of respondents were interested in collaborative research, provided that their income and time could be protected and it was part of the normal working day. Almost 25% had some research experience and a number had undergone research training, ranging from informal training to part of a degree. Conclusions A number of GDPs in the Mersey Deanery are interested in primary care research. With appropriate training, support and recognition within the new Personal Dental Services (PDS) contracts, there is a golden opportunity for more primary care dentists to participate in research. This, in time, will add to the evidence base in dentistry and should improve patient care.
