Abstract

The purpose of this research was to survey staff and patients about their experience, knowledge, and attitudes regarding research. One hundred and sixty patients were interviewed using a questionnaire. In addition, a modified version of the same questionnaire was sent to multidisciplinary staff (n = 476), and about two-fifths (n = 181, 38%) were returned. Participants were interested in research and keen to know more about methods and processes. There were significant differences between staff and patients in terms of attitudes towards evidence-based practice and knowledge about research. The findings support the notion that staff and patients hold similar views about research methods and influences.
