医疗保健专业人员发展研究技能和积极参与研究的能力是优化医疗保健功效所必需的。本研究调查了影响澳大利亚营养工作者研究能力的因素。方法：昆士兰的营养师使用一项匿名在线调查对他们的部门和个人在研究中的技能或成功进行了10分制的评分，该调查包含了经过验证的上下文研究能力工具。描述性统计是根据地理环境、饮食经验和指定研究的角色比例（全职等效；FTE）进行评估的。研究活动以过去6个月内目前参与或完成的项目数量来定义（n=11）。采用多变量线性回归评估与研究活动相关的因素。结果营养师（n=130）在14个研究项目中具有中等水平的技能或成功[mean (SD) 5.1(1.7)]，并认为他们所在部门在19个研究项目中提供了中等水平的研究支持[mean (SD) 6.1(2.5)]。地理环境、指定研究角色的比例和参与研究活动与个人和部门对研究技能或成功的评分有关。研究参与由指定研究角色比例（FTE）预测(=0.34,t=4.16， P
Background A healthcare professional's aptitude to develop research skills and actively engage in research is necessary to optimise healthcare efficacy. The present study investigated the factors that contribute to research capacity within the Australian dietetic workforce. Methods Queensland-based dietitians scored their department and individual skill or success in research on a 10-point scale using an anonymous online survey that incorporated the validated Research Capacity in Context tool. Descriptive statistics were assessed against geographical setting, dietetic experience and the proportion of role (Full Time Equivalent; FTE) designated to research. Research activities were defined by the number of items currently involved in or completed in the past 6months (n=11). Factors associated with research activities were assessed by multivariable linear regression. Results Dietitians (n=130) identified having a moderate skill or success in 14 research items [mean (SD) 5.1 (1.7)] and perceived that their departments provided a moderate level of research support in 19 research items [mean (SD) 6.1 (2.5)]. Geographical setting, the proportion of role designated to research (FTE) and participation in research activities were associated with individual and department ratings of research skill or success. Research involvement was predicted by the proportion of role (FTE) designated to research (=0.34, t=4.16, P
