Abstract

Finding neurophysiological research participants can be challenging, especially when the technology used in the research study is less known, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Despite this well-known phenomenon, there is limited literature investigating the factors involved in willingness to participate and perceived barriers from the potential participants' perspective. This paper explored the relationship between individual differences, attitudes toward TMS, and willingness to participate in TMS research alongside perceived barriers to participation and concerns when considering participating. The findings suggest that participants who had more positive attitudes towards TMS were more willing to participate. Participants frequently reported being concerned about safety, including risks and side effects. For barriers in terms of safety parameters, the number of participants who were eligible based on their TMS safety screening questionnaire was low, particularly for older adults. These findings are discussed in the context of the literature, and practical guidelines are provided for researchers looking to plan TMS recruitment.

个体差异和态度对参与经颅磁刺激研究意愿的影响。
寻找神经生理学研究的参与者可能具有挑战性,特别是当研究中使用的技术鲜为人知时,例如经颅磁刺激(TMS)。尽管这是一个众所周知的现象,但从潜在参与者的角度调查参与意愿和感知障碍的因素的文献有限。本文探讨了个体差异、对经颅磁刺激的态度、参与经颅磁刺激研究的意愿以及参与的障碍和考虑参与时的担忧之间的关系。研究结果表明,对经颅磁刺激持积极态度的参与者更愿意参与。参与者经常报告担心安全性,包括风险和副作用。对于安全参数方面的障碍,根据经颅磁刺激安全筛选问卷符合条件的参与者人数很少,特别是老年人。这些发现在文献的背景下进行了讨论,并为计划TMS招募的研究人员提供了实用指南。
