Research productivity during orthopedic surgery residency correlates with pre-planned and protected research time: a survey of German-speaking countries.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify modifiable factors associated with research activity among residents working in orthopedic surgery and traumatology.

Methods

Residents at 796 university-affiliated hospitals in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland were invited to participate. The online survey consisted of questions that ascertained 13 modifiable and 17 non-modifiable factors associated with the residents' current research activities. Responses of 129 residents were analyzed. Univariate linear regression was used to determine the association of individual factors with the current research activity (hours per week). The impact of significant non-modifiable factors (with unadjusted p values < 0.05) was controlled for using multivariate linear regression.
