Embedding a culture of research in Canadian community hospitals: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Canada, academic hospitals are the principal drivers of research and medical education, while community hospitals provide patient care to a majority of the population. Benefits of increasing community hospital research include improved patient outcomes and access to research, enhanced staff satisfaction and retention and increased research efficiency and generalizability. While the resources required to build Canadian community hospital research capacity have been identified, strategies for strengthening organizational research culture in these settings are not well defined. This study aimed to understand how research culture is experienced and shaped in Canadian community hospitals to provide strategies for strengthening research culture in these settings.
