Background and Objectives: Sustainable development and progress in different aspects of life of people in the country, especially the health system, requires attention to research and its barriers. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the research barriers from the perspective of undergraduate students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 130 undergraduate students were studied by stratified random sampling in 2019. Data collection tools comprised demographic, personal barriers, and organizational barriers. The questionnaire was completed as a self-report. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percent, mean and standard deviation), independent t-test, and one-way analysis of variance.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of age of students was 20.98±1.43. In the field of personal barriers, insufficient familiarity with statistical principles and methods had the highest mean score (3.75±1.04). The long and time consuming research had the highest mean score in the organizational field (3.83±4.82).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that increasing students' awareness of the research method, proper communication between officials and students, and increasing material and spiritual prosperity in order to reduce barriers to research seems necessary.
