目的：研究儿科住院医师在住院期间的研究经验，并探讨居民对研究的态度是否与他们决定追求专科fellowships.Study设计：在2001年完成培训的500 PL-3儿科住院医师的国家随机样本进行了调查。从318名居民（64%）中获得了答复。居民的研究经验和感知能力进行了比较，居民计划追求专科培训（34%）和居民谁没有（66%）。结果：居民感兴趣的专科更有可能有正式的研究培训（39%比27%），并协助在居住期间的研究项目（26%比14%）。在完成住院医师培训后，两组的住院医师都将他们对大多数研究技能的了解评为一般或较差。对研究的良好评价是住院医师是否将专科而不是普通儿科作为其未来临床目标的最强预测因素（OR = 3.7）。考虑到住院医师有限的研究接触和住院医师的研究态度与他们追求专科培训的计划之间的密切联系，应该认真考虑研究促进计划的可能好处，这可能会导致儿科奖学金和儿科研究的居民兴趣增加。
Objectives: To examine pediatric residents' research experiences during residency and to explore whether residents' attitudes toward research are related to their decision to pursue subspecialty fellowships.Study design: A national random sample of 500 PL-3 pediatric residents completing training in 2001 was surveyed. Responses were obtained from 318 residents (64%). Resident research experiences and perceived competence were compared for residents planning to pursue subspecialty training (34%) and residents who were not (66%).Results: Residents interested in a subspecialty were more likely to have had formal research training (39% vs 27%) and to have assisted on a research project (26% vs 14%) during residency. Upon residency completion, residents in both groups rated their knowledge of most research skills as being fair or poor. A favorable rating toward research was the strongest predictor of whether residents have subspecialty rather than general pediatrics as their future clinical goal (OR = 3.7).Conclusions: Given residents' limited research exposure and the strong association found between residents' research attitudes and their plans to pursue subspecialty training, serious consideration should be given to the possible benefits of research promotion programs, which may lead to increased resident interest in pediatric fellowships and pediatric research.
