中国公共卫生科技工作者推广科研成果现状

Dissemination of research findings in public health among science and technology professionals in China

目的了解中国公共卫生领域科技工作者推广科研成果的现状及其影响因素。方法于2022年1月对956名中华预防医学会、中国营养学会、中国防痨协会及中国性病艾滋病防治协会常务委员进行电子问卷调查,分析其从事科研工作程度、年限、学术论文发表、科研经费支持推广形式、接受相关培训、相关实践经验与其推广科研成果的关联。结果956名调查对象中737人从事科研工作,其中58.1%的人推广过科研成果。主要或大部分时间从事科研者、从事科研20年以上者、3年内发表学术论文6篇以上者中推广科研成果的比例分别为64.3%、64.4%、67.8%。科研经费支持开展多种形式的推广者(OR=2.39,95%CI=1.61~3.54)、有相关培训经历者(OR=2.05,95%CI=1.36~3.09)、有相关实践经验者(OR=5.38,95%CI=3.75~7.73)更可能推广科研成果。结论我国公共卫生领域科技工作者推广科研成果的情况不容乐观。

Objective To investigate the dissemination of research findings in public health and its influencing factors among science and technology professionals in China. Methods An online survey was conducted in January 2022 among1 466 science and technology professionals recruited from Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, Chinese Nutrition Society, Chinese Antituberculosis Association, and Chinese Association of STD and AIDS Prevention and Control. The information on the professionals′ research experience, working years, academic papers published, ways of funding support to dissemination, training experience in dissemination and implementation(D&I) research, and work experience in researchrelated setting were collected and associations of the professionals′ characteristics with dissmination of research findings were analyzed. Results Valid responses were collected from 956(65.2%) of the professionals recruited and of the valid respondents, 737 reported being engaged in researches. For all the 737 respondents conducting research works, 58.1 % stated ever having disseminated their research findings, while the proportions of ever conducting the dissemination were 64.3%,64.4%, and 67.8% for the respondents spending most of working time in research practice, doing research work for more than20 years, and having published more than 6 academic papers during past 3 years, respectively. The respondents with following characteristics were more likely to conduct the dissemination of research finding: receiving funds that support to the disseminations through various ways(odds ratio [OR] = 2.39, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.61 – 3.54), ever taking a part in D&I research-related training(OR = 2.05, 95 % CI: 1.36 – 3.09), and having work experience in a practice or policy setting(OR = 5.38, 95% CI: 3.75 – 7.73) according to the results of multivariate binary logistic regression analysis.Conclusion A lot of effort is required for promoting the dissemination of scientific research findings among Chinese science and technology professionals in public health.
