Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

22.9K
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.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

11.8K
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...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

15.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

120
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric hospital medicine
  • Clinical research
  • Evidence-based practice

Background:

  • Pediatric hospital medicine is a dynamic field requiring continuous advancement of evidence-based practice.
  • Clinicians in pediatric hospital medicine are well-positioned to conduct research but face challenges balancing clinical duties with research endeavors.
  • Early-career faculty often struggle with developing their first research project due to limited research skills, institutional knowledge, and team-building experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide 10 key reflections for clinicians embarking on their first research project.
  • To offer practical guidance tailored to the unique experiences of first-time research investigators in pediatric hospital medicine.
  • To motivate clinicians to pursue research and establish a robust foundation for successful project development.

Main Methods:

  • The manuscript presents reflections based on the authors' experiences.
  • Focus is placed on concepts highly relevant to the initial stages of developing a first research project.
  • The approach is qualitative, offering insights and recommendations rather than empirical data.

Main Results:

  • The authors identify common pitfalls encountered by new investigators.
  • The reflections aim to address the specific challenges faced by faculty new to research.
  • Key areas for consideration include refining research skills, understanding institutional resources, and building a research team.

Conclusions:

  • Developing a first research project requires careful planning and consideration of specific challenges.
  • This manuscript provides a valuable resource for pediatric hospital medicine clinicians to navigate the complexities of initiating research.
  • By addressing these reflections, clinicians can build a solid foundation for their research endeavors and contribute to evidence-based practice.
