目的确定感知的障碍和促进者的职业生涯中的风湿病学研究，检查因素导致风湿病学家离开学术研究生涯，并征求如何最好地支持年轻的医生，scientists.MethodsA基于网络的调查进行了国内美国学院的风湿病学（ACR）成员从1月至2014年3月。入选标准是ACR成员资格和可用的电子邮件地址。排除非风湿病学家。该调查评估了人口统计学，研究参与，研究职业生涯的障碍和促进因素，离开研究职业生涯的原因（如适用），以及ACR可以支持初级研究者的方式。内容分析提取相关themes.ResultsAmong 5，448国内ACR成员，502响应（9.2%的响应率）。排除后（38例不完整，2例重复，32例非风湿病学家），分析了430份答复。参与者包括研究员、年轻的研究人员、成熟的研究人员、导师、临床医生以及那些以前从事研究工作但选择了不同职业道路的人。保护临床和行政职责，机构支持，以及个人特征，如弹性和持久性也排名很高。离开学术研究生涯的最常见的原因是难以获得资金和缺乏部门或部门support.ConclusionThis是第一次研究的障碍和促进者的职业生涯在风湿病学研究的角度不同群体的风湿病学家。了解这些障碍和促进因素可能有助于设计干预措施，在调查人员职业发展的脆弱点为他们提供支持。
ObjectiveTo determine perceived barriers to and facilitators of a career in rheumatology research, examine factors leading rheumatologists to leave an academic research career, and solicit ways to best support young physician-scientists.MethodsA web-based survey was conducted among the domestic American College of Rheumatology (ACR) membership from January through March 2014. Inclusion criteria were ACR membership and an available e-mail address. Non-rheumatologists were excluded. The survey assessed demographics, research participation, barriers to and facilitators of a career in research, reasons for leaving a research career (when applicable), and ways in which the ACR could support junior investigators. Content analysis was used to extract relevant themes.ResultsAmong 5,448 domestic ACR members, 502 responses were obtained (9.2% response rate). After exclusions (38 incomplete, 2 duplicates, 32 non-rheumatologists), 430 responses were analyzed. Participants included fellows, young investigators, established investigators, mentors, clinicians, and those who previously pursued a research career but have chosen a different career path. Funding and mentoring were the most highly ranked barriers and facilitators. Protection from clinical and administrative duties, institutional support, and personal characteristics such as resilience and persistence were also ranked highly. The most commonly cited reasons for leaving an academic research career were difficulty obtaining funding and lack of department or division support.ConclusionThis is the first study to examine barriers to and facilitators of a career in rheumatology research from the perspectives of diverse groups of rheumatologists. Knowledge of such barriers and facilitators may assist in designing interventions to support investigators during vulnerable points in their career development.
