Why Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Are Not Doing Research—Perceptions, Barriers, and Participation in Research from the Academy’s Dietetics Practice-Based Research Network Needs Assessment Survey

A Cross-Sectional Exploration of Research Outcome Expectations

“…These findings were confirmed in a 2013 survey of Academy members on their research experiences, barriers, resources, and level of understanding of practice-based research. 35 The online delivery of research training is recommended for reaching busy health care professionals, 36 and distance-delivered tools are available through the Academy including training on research ethics 37 and a webinar on writing abstracts. 38 Additional suggestions to facilitate involvement included a standardized data collection tool for patient information that can be pooled and analyzed from multiple locations, a mentoring program, research protocols that could be implemented at member's practice sites, and increased advertising of funding opportunities for Academy members.…”

“…38 Additional suggestions to facilitate involvement included a standardized data collection tool for patient information that can be pooled and analyzed from multiple locations, a mentoring program, research protocols that could be implemented at member's practice sites, and increased advertising of funding opportunities for Academy members. 30,35 These suggested supports are not likely to be as potentially successful with facilitating higher levels of research involvement without the implementation of factors that adequately motivate clinicians to incorporate these activities into their busy clinician roles. 33 The weaknesses of this study include the small number of preprofessional students who participated.…”

Research awareness, attitudes and barriers among clinical staff in a regional cancer centre. Part 1: a quantitative analysis

“…; Dougherty et al . ). This, combined with clinical experience, led to the development and administration of a survey to clinical staff within our regional cancer centre, to better understand the barriers to research activity within this specific area with a view to addressing them.…”

“…; Dougherty et al . ). It is important that research skills are introduced to a sufficient level during the undergraduate training of HCPs; however, a continuation of this should be promoted and resources made available throughout careers (Johnson et al .…”

Evidence‐based practice in nutrition and dietetics: Translating evidence into practice

“…It leads to new knowledge and a better understanding about the complexity of how evidence is integrated into practice settings, such as changing practitioners and client behaviour, the importance of practice contexts, limitations of passive dissemination strategies, the challenge of extending innovations to new sites and sustainability . Several studies have reported individual and institutional barriers to dietitians using evidence in practice, such as a lack of time and funding and the absence of cultural and managerial support . Adoption and sustainable implementation will be unlikely to succeed in an environment that is not supportive of evidence‐based practice …”
