Abstract

Objective

Evaluate research capacity and culture among regional hospital dietitians, develop a team specific research strategy, and build research skills of novice researchers.

Methods

The Research Capacity in Context Tool was used to assess current research capacity and culture at organisational, team and individual levels. Results were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis of free text responses. A modified Delphi method gained consensus regarding research capacity building.

Design

Mixed method study.

Setting

Dietetics department of a regional tertiary hospital (Modified Monash Category 2).

Participants

All clinical dietitians currently employed within the hospital (n = 20) regardless of employment duration.

Main Outcome Measures

Self-rated response to research capacity and culture to produce a dietetics-specific research strategy.

Results

Fifteen dietitians (75%) completed the Research Capacity in Context Tool. The overall mean score was highest at an organisational level at 7.9 (IQR 2), and lowest at team and individual levels at 4.3 (IQR 2.7) and 4.9 (IQR 3.3) respectively. Common barriers to research included time, lack of skills, knowledge and support. Using the modified Delphi method 39 statements relating to research capacity building met consensus and informed the creation of a research strategy.

Conclusion

The results of the Research Capacity in Context Tool from this regional study reflect those reported in the literature at metropolitan sites. A dietetic-specific research strategy was developed to assist with increasing research capacity at a team and individual level in a regional setting. Evaluation of long-term outcomes post implementation will be the subject of further research.

在一家地区公立医院营养科采用改良德尔菲法制定针对团队的研究战略。
目标评估地区医院营养师的研究能力和文化,制定针对团队的研究策略,培养新手研究人员的研究技能:方法:使用 "背景下的研究能力工具 "评估当前组织、团队和个人层面的研究能力和文化。使用描述性统计和自由文本回复内容分析对结果进行了分析。修改后的德尔菲法就研究能力建设达成了共识:设计:混合方法研究:研究地点:一家地区性三甲医院的营养科(经修改的莫纳什二类医院):主要结果测量:主要结果测量指标:对研究能力和文化的自我评价,以制定营养学研究策略:15名营养师(75%)完成了 "背景研究能力工具"。总体平均得分在组织层面最高,为 7.9 (IQR 2),在团队和个人层面最低,分别为 4.3 (IQR 2.7) 和 4.9 (IQR3.3)。研究的常见障碍包括时间、缺乏技能、知识和支持。采用修改后的德尔菲法,与研究能力建设有关的 39 项陈述达成了共识,并为制定研究战略提供了依据:结论:这项地区性研究的 "研究能力背景工具 "结果反映了大都市研究机构的文献报道。研究人员制定了一项针对营养学的研究战略,以帮助在地区环境中提高团队和个人的研究能力。对实施后长期成果的评估将是进一步研究的主题。
