Read More BACKGROUND: Due to the rapid advancement of medical knowledge, promotion in research is necessary to have the best clinical practice. Research Self‑efficacy (RSE) is the researcher’s confidence in their ability to conduct a specific study. The Evidence‑Based Practice (EBP) represents how to improve the quality of care and treatment of patients. RSE and EBP are the cornerstones of successful research and then efficacious medical practice.This study aims to evaluate RSE and acceptance of EBP and their correlation among medical students.MATERIALS AND MEHODS: This is a cross‑sectional study designed on 600 clinical students at the medical school of Shiraz, using a census method in 2020. Students were invited to fill out the standardized Phillips and Russell’s questionnaires about RSE (4 domains, 33 questions) and Rubin and Parrish’s questionnaire of EBP (10 questions). The gathered data were analyzed through the SPSS at α = 0.05 using descriptive statistics, t‑test, Chi‑square, and multiple linear regressions.RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between EBP and RSE score (P < 0.05). The results of linear regression test showed that all variables had a significant effect on our response variables and their effect were significant (P < 0.05). The highest mean score in RSE was shown in the subscale of writing skills (52.54). The lowest score was observed in the subscale of quantitative (student’s subjective assessment of their ability to work with statistically related data and formulas) as well as computer skills (35.61).CONCLUSIONS: Students who participated in a research project, workshop, or Master of Public Health program got a higher RSE and EBP. Due to the positive correlation between RSE and EBP, we conclude that trained physicians who can research independently and use research evidence can find the best treatment approach for patients. These finding support the importance of integrating research education in medical curriculum to increase RSE and finally improvement of EBP among medical students.

Read More CONTEXT: Scientific research not only promotes health and combats diseases of an individual,but also it can strengthen the effectiveness of health systems. Hence, understanding of scientificmethods becomes a crucial component in the medical profession.AIMS: This study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and barriers toward researchamong undergraduate medical and dental students.SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This cross‑sectional study was conducted among 295 undergraduateBachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)students from a private medical college in Malaysia.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We purposively selected 360 students attending the 3rd, 4th, and5th year in MBBS course and BDS course in September 2015. A total of 295 students who werewilling to provide written informed consent were included in this study. We collected data using avalidated, self‑administered, structured questionnaire which included 20 questions about knowledgetoward scientific research, 21 attitude items in regard to scientific research, a list of 10 barriers towardconducting medical research, and 5 questions of confidence to conduct the medical research.STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independentt‑test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression.RESULTS: Among the students, 56.9% had moderate knowledge while the majority (83.3%) hadmoderate attitude toward scientific research. The majorly cited barriers were the lack of time (79.9%),lack of knowledge and skills (72.1%), lack of funding (72.0%) and facilities (63.6%), and lack ofrewards (55.8%). There was a significant association between age, academic year, and knowledgeof research as the older age group, and 4th‑ and 5th‑year students had higher knowledge score. Thestudents of higher attitude score had better‑perceived barriers score toward research with regressioncoefficient 0.095 (95% confidence interval 0.032–0.159).CONCLUSIONS: Even though the students had the positive attitudes toward scientific research, asupportive and positive environment is needed to improve skills and knowledge of research and toovercome the barriers toward the conduct of scientific research.
