| Summary, etc. | SUMMARY:<br/><br/>This study is awarded Undergraduate Research Grant by Nepal Health Research Council <br/>(NHRC). This study was carried out to assess the perspective of undergraduate medical <br/>students on incorporating research methodology in the undergraduate medical curriculum. <br/>Since there is increasing interest among the new generation of medical students towards <br/>research, this study aimed to establish this through data and know their perception on <br/>incorporating research methodology in the curriculum itself. <br/>Exposing medical students towards research has benefits like having a paper published in one’s <br/>name, being able to stand out for the competition for residencies, having a better understanding <br/>of diagnostic techniques, and aiding those who aspire to be physician-scientists. Since <br/>developed nations have already taken the initiative to encourage medical students in research, <br/>it’s high time for a virgin country like ours to take initiative to produce manpower that can live <br/>up to the needs of the nation in terms of innovation and research. <br/>This study was conducted among medical students studying under Tribhuvan University and <br/>systematic sampling method was applied for the selection of the respondents. The study tool <br/>was developed on a five-point Likert scale. Frequency is calculated for all the variables and <br/>ordinal regression is carried out for the variable of interest which is the question of <br/>incorporating research methodology in the undergraduate medical curriculum. A P-value less <br/>than 0.05 is considered significant. <br/>The study had 351 respondents. 223 (63.5%) were males and the mean age of the participants <br/>was 22.58 ± 1.585 years. Nearly 84% of students think that research methodology should be <br/>incorporated into the curriculum and 84.9% of the responders believe that getting students <br/>involved in research studies will increase the standard of medical education of the country. <br/>75.5% of the students are interested in learning about study designs and statistical methods if training is provided to them, while, 46.2% of the responders have already attended <br/>webinars/seminars to get oriented towards research methodologies that were conducted by <br/>other organizations. The majority of the students (75.8%) of the students want research <br/>methodology to be incorporated in the pre-clinical phase of medical school. Students who were <br/>interested in reading research articles had 3.085 times more odds of agreeing while increasing <br/>age was associated with a decrease in odds by 0.772 times in agreeing to incorporate research <br/>methodology in the curriculum. <br/>The majority of medical students are interested in being part of research studies. Initiatives that <br/>can back up this interest of a new generation of medical students to establish the concept of <br/>physician-scientist should be taken by the stakeholders. Incorporating research methodology <br/>in the curriculum, in the pre-clinical phase, will be a great support to the interest of medical <br/>students. This will also orient students towards evidence-based practice in their professional <br/>life, improving the patient outcome in long term. |
