General practitioner (GP) supervisors need more training and support for research engagement. Increased research involvement can improve clinical practice and teaching, with practice-based research networks being a key strategy.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- General Practice Research
Background:
- General practitioner (GP) supervisors play a crucial role in training.
- GP supervisors often lack formal training and support in research utilization and participation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the needs, motivators, and barriers for GP supervisors' research engagement.
- To explore strategies for enhancing research participation among GP supervisors.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative discussion with 31 GP supervisors attending research skills workshops.
- Exploration of identified needs, motivators, and barriers.
Main Results:
- GP supervisors expressed interest in using research evidence to inform practice and teaching.
- Supervisors highlighted the need for training and practical support from regional bodies.
- Collaboration through practice-based research networks was seen as beneficial.
Conclusions:
- GP supervisors are motivated to increase research engagement, particularly in evidence-based practice and priority setting.
- Targeted training and support are essential for enhancing GP supervisors' research capacity.
- Developing practice-based research networks can foster collaborative research efforts.
