Investigation and analysis of the scientific research of appointment system staff from different majors

Abstract

Objective To find out the situation,level and obstacles of the scientific research of appointment system staff from different majors.Methods Self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 304 staff of appointment system.Questionnaire was evaluated by 5 specialists in nursing management and medical statistics.The validity coefficient was 0.85 and the Cronbach' s α was 0.83 tested from preliminary examination.The development of the scientific research (2 items),related behaviors (3 items),ability to apply scientific research tools (5 items ) and main obstacles (5 items ) were included in this questionnaire.Results 302 questionnaires were called back with the effective rate of 99.34％.The rate of medical staff who conducted scientific research was higher than that of other majors,and the differences were statistically significant (t =63.48,5.17,252.73,respectively; x2 =54.62,61.83,respectively; P＜0.01).The rate of medical,nursing and medical technology staff who applied research design and statistics were all lower than 40％,and the differences were not statistically significant ( x2 =4.44,5.73,respectively; P ＞ 0.05 ).Medical,nursing and medical technology staff's ability to select topics was respectively 90.62％,32.08％ and 69.23％,in which nursing staff was the worst,and the differences were statistically significant ( x2 =19.61,P ＜ 0.01 ).The main obstacles for nursing and medical technology staff were no pace-setters and leaders' indifference,which was statistically different from that of the medical staff (x2 =74.34,10.01,respectively;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Hospitals should balance the scientific research activities between staff from different majors and train them with research design methods and statistic skills,in order to improve the scientific research environment for appointment system staff.
