Abstract

Objectives: As part of the further development of an existing training program on scientific skills for health services research at the University Hospital Tübingen, the aim of the study is to determine the level of knowledge, utilization and needs for continuing education among staff.

Methods: In 2022, a semi standardized anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted at the University Hospital Tübingen. The content of the questionnaire survey was the level of knowledge and utilization of various research methods, the need for continuing education on these and other healthcare research-related topics and the preferred training concept. The data analysis was carried out descriptively based on absolute and relative frequencies overall and grouped according to the scientific experience of the participants.

Results: Participants' self-assessment indicated that a proportion of them had research skills. However, the level of knowledge and utilization varied greatly with regard to different research methods. The 222 participants most frequently expressed a desire for continuing education in the preparation of meta-analyses (56%), questionnaire validation (43%) and -development (42%). There was also great interest in continuing education in the fields of project coordination (57%), third-party funded projects (46%) and science communication (45%).

Conclusion: The survey highlights existing research skills and the need for methodological qualification in the field of healthcare research among the staff of the University Hospital Tübingen. The focus appears to be on evidence generation, methods of empirical social research and general research-related skills. The results will be used to design new training courses with a focus on health services research.

医疗服务研究中的科学技能--图宾根大学医院员工的知识、利用情况和继续教育需求。
研究目的作为图宾根大学医院现有医疗服务研究科学技能培训项目进一步发展的一部分,本研究旨在确定员工对继续教育的了解程度、利用率和需求:2022 年,图宾根大学医院开展了一项半标准化匿名横断面调查。问卷调查的内容包括对各种研究方法的了解程度和使用情况、对这些方法和其他医疗研究相关主题的继续教育需求以及首选的培训理念。数据分析以绝对频率和相对频率为基础进行描述性分析,并根据参与者的科研经验进行分组:结果:参与者的自我评估表明,他们中的一部分人具备研究技能。然而,对不同研究方法的了解和运用程度却大相径庭。在 222 名参与者中,最常表达的愿望是在准备荟萃分析(56%)、问卷验证(43%)和问卷开发(42%)方面接受继续教育。他们还对项目协调(57%)、第三方资助项目(46%)和科学交流(45%)方面的继续教育表现出浓厚的兴趣:调查显示了图宾根大学医院员工在医疗保健研究领域现有的研究技能和对方法资格的需求。重点似乎放在了证据生成、实证社会研究方法和一般研究相关技能上。调查结果将用于设计以医疗服务研究为重点的新培训课程。

期刊介绍: GMS Journal for Medical Education (GMS J Med Educ) – formerly GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung – publishes scientific articles on all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and other health professions. Research and review articles, project reports, short communications as well as discussion papers and comments may be submitted. There is a special focus on empirical studies which are methodologically sound and lead to results that are relevant beyond the respective institution, profession or country. Please feel free to submit qualitative as well as quantitative studies. We especially welcome submissions by students. It is the mission of GMS Journal for Medical Education to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge in the German-speaking countries as well as internationally and thus to foster the improvement of teaching and learning and to build an evidence base for undergraduate and graduate education. To this end, the journal has set up an editorial board with international experts. All manuscripts submitted are subjected to a clearly structured peer review process. All articles are published bilingually in English and German and are available with unrestricted open access. Thus, GMS Journal for Medical Education is available to a broad international readership. GMS Journal for Medical Education is published as an unrestricted open access journal with at least four issues per year. In addition, special issues on current topics in medical education research are also published. Until 2015 the journal was published under its German name GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung. By changing its name to GMS Journal for Medical Education, we wish to underline our international mission.
