Özet
Objective: It is challenging for specialist physicians in Türkiye to carry out scientific research and be productive academically, primarily due to intense working conditions. We aimed to identify the obstacles and challenges physicians face while doing scientific studies and offer solutions. Material and Methods: Specialist doctors and as-sistant professors from all over Türkiye were invited to the study. A questionnaire of 16 questions was directed to the physicians. Results: Four hundred one specialists who voluntarily participated in the study were evaluated. The physicians who participated in scientific studies other than their thesis during residency continued academic studies more after becoming specialists (p=0.039). The high daily workload was the most significant obstacle for specialists in medical and surgi-cal sciences (p=0.008). Specialists in basic sciences stated the lack of teamwork and financial support as the critical obstacle they faced (p=0.013, p=0.003). The most challenging step in a study was con-verting the data into an article for all doctors (41.9%). Those working in the provincial health directorate and its units had the most difficulty in collecting patients/data, while the selection of scientific journals and sending articles were the most significant challenge for the specialists working in their clinic (p=0.027, p=0.001). Conclusion: Daily work-load, lack of time devoted to scientific research, and lack of financial support are the most critical problems faced by specialists in scientific studies in our country. Solving these problems and establishing scientific study teams under the leadership of experienced lecturers will in-crease the motivation of specialists in Türkiye.
