Brief Summary

The ever-increasing population and life expectancy worldwide lead to a higher prevalence of physical disabilities and diseases, which increases the need for physical medicine and rehabilitation research. In our study, we aimed to evaluate various aspects of the barriers, particularly gender disparities, faced by physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals who wish to conduct scientific research.

Conditions

Gender Bias; Researcher-Subject Relations

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Research Barriers Scale

  This scale was prepared after a detailed literature review and sent to five physiatrists for review and feedback. It consists of 21 items with Likert-type responses and two open-ended questions. It is designed to measure the barriers that individuals or groups face in conducting research. The scale includes a list of potential barriers and asks respondents to rate the extent to which they experience each barrier. Examples of barriers that may be included in such a scale could include lack of funding, limited access to resources or equipment, time constraints, difficulty finding participants or accessing data, institutional or administrative hurdles, and so on.
