“…A similar trend in poor orthopedic research was common among orthopedic residents. Lack of adequate support, including poor mentorship, low finances, and lack of personnel, discourages orthopedic residents from active engagement in research activities [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…However, the various challenges concerning the completion of substantial research within surgical residency programs have been illustrated alongside drawbacks in time, research funding, and professional mentors [ 4 ]. Additional challenges to an extensive research experience in residency involve limited organizational infrastructure, deficiency priority, financial limitations on residency budgets, and inadequate guidance for Saudis to develop into clinical scientists [ 5 ].…”

Research activities and critical appraisal skills among Saudi orthopedic residents

et al. 2021

Background Medical research is a central part of any residency training. In view of the new Saudi orthopedic committee promotion regulation that mandates each resident to participate in a research project, the challenges that stand in the way of completion of substantial research within surgical residency must be investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the practice, attitudes, perception, and limitations associated with research among residents in the Saudi orthopedic program in the central region. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and July 2020 using an online-based survey. The total number of study participants was 128 orthopedic residents out of the 191 residents enrolled in the central region program. Data were analyzed, and descriptive statistics in the form of frequency and percentage were determined, analytical tests were performed with P < 0.05 being statistically significant. Results Most residents (95 %) participated in a research project during residency. Most projects (53.10 %) were case reports followed by retrospective studies (48.40 %). The majority (79.70 %) did not attend a research methods course during residency. Experience in research differed significantly (P < 0.05) by age, residency year, and center. The mean involvement score was significantly higher among males at 3 (± 1) than among females at 2 (± 0) (P < 0.001). Only 40.60 % have access to orthopedic journals, and the same percentage (40.60 %) knew how to Critique original articles. There was a statistically significant difference in the accessibility score according to the training center. Lack of faculty support and mentorship were the main barriers to medical research at 62.50 and 39.10 %, respectively. A total of 68.80 % reported that funding was not available through their institutes. Conclusions In Saudi Arabia, the level of meaningful clinical research and publications by orthopedic residents is still low. The results of this study should be taken into consideration before the implementation of the new promotion criteria in the centers under the umbrella of Saudi orthopedic committee.

Background: Mentoring is crucial to the growth and development of mentors, mentees, and host organisations. Yet, the process of mentoring in surgery is poorly understood and increasingly mired in ethical concerns that compromise the quality of mentorship and prevent mentors, mentees, and host organisations from maximising its full potential. A systematic scoping review was undertaken to map the ethical issues in surgical mentoring to enhance understanding, assessment, and guidance on ethical conduct. Methods: Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework was used to guide a systematic scoping review involving articles published between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2018 in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, Mednar, and OpenGrey databases. Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis approach was adopted to compare ethical issues in surgical mentoring across different settings, mentee and mentor populations, and host organisations. Results: A total of 3849 abstracts were identified, 464 full-text articles were retrieved, and 50 articles were included. The 3 themes concerned ethical lapses at the levels of mentor or mentee, mentoring relationships, and host organisation. Conclusions: Mentoring abuse in surgery involves lapses in conduct, understanding of roles and responsibilities, poor alignment of expectations, and a lack of clear standards of practice. It is only with better structuring of mentoring processes and effective support of host organisation tasked with providing timely, longitudinal, and holistic assessment and oversight will surgical mentoring overcome prevailing ethical concerns surrounding it.

“…Clements (2007) indica que es necesario que las universidades enfaticen más en la investigación científica y en la redacción académica en sus planes de estudios, para facilitar el desarrollo de los trabajos finales de grado. De este modo se evitaría que muchos estudiantes abandonen los proyectos de investigación antes de finalizarlos debido a la insuficiente formación metodológica y tecnológica, la falta de apoyo de las autoridades, la ausencia de financia-ción y las pocas oportunidades de participación (Carter et al, 2018).…”

Conducting scientific research is complex for some university students. For this reason, the objective was to create a scale that measures the obstacles to investigate. 650 students who were doing their Final Degree Works at the Universidad Técnica de Machala-Ecuador participated. An initial group of 32 items was developed based on previous literature. Based on the results of the content validation, 7 items were eliminated. The results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) reveal that the items are structured in a bifactorial model of 24 items. Regarding reliability, the scale showed a Cronbach's alpha and an Omega coefficient of 0.92, indicating high internal consistency. It is concluded that the scale presents adequate psychometric properties to measure the obstacles to investigate in university students.
