音乐治疗临床医生为设计和实施临床有意义的研究提供了重要的视角。不幸的是，仍然存在阻碍临床医生参与研究和发展学术研究人员与临床医生之间成功伙伴关系的障碍。为了帮助增加临床医生的参与，重要的是研究团队分享他们的经验。因此，本定性研究的目的是分享音乐治疗师在大型多地点随机对照试验中作为研究临床医生的经验。10位获得委员会认证的音乐治疗师对6个数据生成问题提供了书面回复，这些问题涉及：(a)参与的原因，(b)感知到的挑战和好处，(c)质量保证监控的经验，(d)专业成长，(e)研究的价值，以及(f)对考虑参与研究的临床医生的建议。通过主题内容分析，我们确定了每个问题的主要主题和副主题（20个主题；30个副主题）。定性分析不仅揭示了共同的挑战，如协调临床和研究责任，而且还揭示了好处，包括持续的专业成长，对研究过程的更好理解，以及作为倡导和推进专业的一种方式的研究参与。最后，对于有兴趣参与研究的临床医生，治疗师指出，从导师、主管和/或管理人员那里获得工作场所支持的重要性；寻找可用的资源；在开始参与研究之前了解角色和责任。研究结果提供了重要的见解和建议，以支持临床医生参与研究，并支持进一步探索临床医生参与传播工作，以提高研究成果的转化和应用。
Music therapy clinicians bring an important perspective to the design and conduct of clinically meaningful studies. Unfortunately, there continue to be roadblocks that hinder clinician involvement in research and the development of successful partnerships between academic researchers and practicing clinicians. To help grow clinician involvement, it is important that research teams share their experiences. As such, the purpose of this qualitative study was to share music therapists' perspectives about their experience of working as a research clinician on a large multisite randomized controlled trial. 10 board-certified music therapists provided written responses to 6 data-generating questions about: (a) reasons for participating, (b) perceived challenges and benefits, (c) experiences of quality assurance monitoring, (d) professional growth, (e) value of research, and (f) advice for clinicians considering research involvement. Using thematic content analysis, we identified primary themes and subthemes for each question (20 themes; 30 subthemes). Qualitative analysis revealed not only common challenges, such as reconciling clinical and research responsibilities, but also benefits, including continued professional growth, greater understanding of research processes, and research participation as a way to advocate and advance the profession. Finally, for clinicians interested in becoming involved in research, therapists noted the importance of having workplace support from a mentor, supervisor, and/or administrator; seeking out available resources; and knowing roles and responsibilities before initiating research involvement. Findings offer important insight and recommendations to support the involvement of clinicians in research and support further exploration of clinician involvement in dissemination efforts to improve translation and uptake of research into practice.
