Abstract

Background: Data sharing presents new opportunities across the spectrum of research and is vital for science that is open, where data are easily discoverable, accessible, intelligible, reproducible, replicable and verifiable. Despite this, it is yet to become common practice. Global efforts to develop practical guidance for data sharing and open access initiatives are underway, however evidence-based studies to inform the development and implementation of effective strategies are lacking.

Objective: This study sought to determine the barriers and facilitators to data sharing among health researchers and to identify the target behaviours for designing a behaviour change intervention strategy.

Method: Data were drawn from a cross-sectional survey of data management practices among health researchers from one Australian research institute. Determinants of behaviour were theoretically derived using well-established behavioural models.

Results: Data sharing practices have been described for 77 researchers, and 6 barriers and 4 facilitators identified. The primary barriers to data sharing included perceived negative consequences and lack of competency to share data. The primary facilitators to data sharing included trust in others using the data and social influence related to public benefit. Intervention functions likely to be most effective at changing target behaviours were also identified.

Conclusion: Results of this study provide a theoretical and evidence-based process to understand the behavioural barriers and facilitators of data sharing among health researchers.

Implications: Designing interventions that specifically address target behaviours to promote data sharing are important for open researcher practices.

制定改进卫生研究数据共享的战略:一项确定障碍和促进因素的混合方法研究。
背景:数据共享为整个研究领域带来了新的机遇,对于开放的科学至关重要,在开放的科学中,数据很容易被发现、获取、理解、再现、可复制和可验证。尽管如此,它还没有成为普遍的做法。为数据共享和开放获取倡议制定实用指南的全球努力正在进行中,但缺乏为制定和实施有效战略提供信息的循证研究。目的:本研究旨在确定卫生研究人员之间数据共享的障碍和促进因素,并确定设计行为改变干预策略的目标行为。方法:数据来自澳大利亚一家研究机构的卫生研究人员数据管理实践的横断面调查。行为的决定因素在理论上是用成熟的行为模型推导出来的。结果:对77名研究人员的数据共享实践进行了描述,并确定了6个障碍和4个促进因素。数据共享的主要障碍包括感知到的负面后果和缺乏共享数据的能力。促进数据共享的主要因素包括对使用数据的他人的信任和与公共利益有关的社会影响。干预功能可能是最有效的改变目标行为也被确定。结论:本研究结果为理解卫生研究人员之间数据共享的行为障碍和促进因素提供了一个理论和循证过程。启示:设计专门针对目标行为的干预措施以促进数据共享对于开放研究实践非常重要。
