Enabling general practice research in singapore: A qualitative exploration of barriers, facilitators and solutions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The importance of primary care research in informing clinical practice and policy is well demonstrated. In the Singapore setting, the majority of research occurs in public institutions called polyclinics as opposed to the private general practice setting where approximately 80% of primary care clinical service provision takes place. There is a need to increase research in the private general practice setting to ensure that findings are relevant to this setting. This study aimed to explore the barriers, facilitators and motivations impacting on Singaporean GP's involvement in research with a view to optimising the structure and supports offered by SPARK, a practice-based research network (PBRN).

Methods

GPs were recruited from SPARK network, research collaborators
