Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Area of Science:

Medical Laboratory Science

Background:

Clinical laboratory science (CLS) professionals play a vital role in healthcare.
Understanding their engagement in research and scholarly activities is crucial for advancing the field.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the current qualitative and quantitative aspects of research engagement among CLS professionals.
To identify scholarly activities and barriers to research participation in various employment settings.

Main Methods:

An online survey was distributed to 7,572 members of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) and 500 program directors.
The survey assessed quantitative and qualitative measures of engagement in research and other scholarly activities.

Main Results:

Only 7.3% of respondents actively conduct research, while 68% do not. Research is a job requirement for 18%.
Many CLS professionals (over 57%) engage in non-research scholarly activities. Applied, clinical, or educational research is most common.
Lack of external funding (57%) and barriers like time constraints, inadequate funding, and limited opportunities impede research efforts. PhD holders secure most research funding.

Conclusions:

CLS professionals are involved in research at limited numbers, often prioritizing non-research scholarly activities.
Significant barriers hinder research participation, including lack of job integration, time, funding, and opportunities.
Future research should explore broader professional organizations to increase survey response rates and gain a more comprehensive understanding.
