Encuesta sobre la situación de investigación en rehabilitación en España. Resultados / Survey on the state of investigation in rehabilitation in Spain: Results

En la vocalía de investigación, formación e innovación de la sociedad Española de Medicina Física y Rehabilitación (SERMEF), quisimos aproximarnos a cuál es el estado de la investigación en nuestra especialidad en España. Para ello, se elaboró y distribuyó una encuesta online entre médicos rehabilitadores de España, que obtuvo 253 respuestas. De estos, el 65% afirmó que en su centro de trabajo sí se realiza actividad investigadora en rehabilitación; el número de proyectos activos en sus centros según declararon era de: ninguno en el 35,7%; uno en el 17,7%, 2 en el 23,3%, 3 en el 8,4% y 4 o más en el 14,9%. Entre las principales dificultades que se encuentran los encuestados el 89% destacan que no se dispone de personal contratado para investigación y el 95% que en sus centros no se destina parte de la jornada laboral para investigación. En cuanto a la actividad investigadora personal, el 56% atestiguan participar en investigación, siendo el rol más habitual el de investigador principal (58%). El 95% de los encuestados refiere que el principal obstáculo para desarrollar un proyecto de investigación es la presión asistencial y la falta de tiempo, y correspondientemente, una amplia mayoría (83%) alega que disponer de tiempo estipulado para investigar en su jornada laboral sería una motivación.(AU)

Among the main difficulties encountered, 89% highlight that there is no staff hired for research and 95% that in their centres part of the working day is not allocated to research. In terms of personal research activity, 56% reported that they were involved in research, with the most common role being that of principal investigator (58%). Ninety-five percent of respondents report that the main obstacle to developing a research project is the pressure of care and lack of time, and correspondingly, a large majority (83%) claim that having stipulated time for research in their working day would be a motivation.(AU)
