Abstract

Aim: Regarding the necessity of research in the scientific community and issues arising from it; researchers have been subjected to stress which is called Research Anxiety. In this regard, present study attempts to survey the level of research anxiety and its related factors among Ph.D. students at Iran University of Medical Sciences. Methods: questionnaires were employed for this applied research. The statistical population of the study consisted of Ph.D. students at Iran University of Medical Sciences where 248 people were selected by simple sampling method. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the professors. By calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, a figure of 0.875 was obtained, which shows the high reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed based on K-S test, T test and p and rs correlation coefficient, using SPSS software version 20. Results: The findings indicate that the mean of anxiety in the research community is 3.19 which is more than average. Factors such as Internet and computer skills, library usage and English language proficiency have a decreasing effect on the research anxiety. However, the "feeling of being in a competitive environment" factor increases the student's research anxiety. Conclusion: According to the results, PhD students of Iran University of Medical Sciences feel anxious in conducting research activities. Research directors and librarians of this university need to pay attention to its causes and consider the plans and strategies (such as research projects, information literacy courses, etc.) to control students' research anxiety.

调查伊朗医科大学博士生的研究焦虑水平并确定其相关因素
目的:关于科学共同体研究的必要性及由此产生的问题;研究人员一直承受着压力,这种压力被称为研究焦虑。为此,本研究试图调查伊朗医科大学博士生的研究焦虑水平及其相关因素。方法:采用问卷调查法进行应用研究。本研究的统计人群为伊朗医科大学的博士生,采用简单抽样法抽取248人。教授们确认了调查表的有效性。通过计算Cronbach’s alpha系数,得到0.875,表明仪器具有较高的可靠性。数据采用K-S检验、T检验和p、rs相关系数分析,采用SPSS软件20版。结果:研究结果表明,科研群体的焦虑均值为3.19,高于平均水平。网络和计算机技能、图书馆使用情况和英语语言能力等因素对研究焦虑的影响呈下降趋势。然而,“处于竞争环境中的感觉”因素增加了学生的研究焦虑。结论:结果显示,伊朗医科大学的博士生在进行研究活动时感到焦虑。这所大学的研究主管和图书馆员需要关注其原因,并考虑控制学生研究焦虑的计划和策略(如研究项目,信息素养课程等)。
