Embedding a culture of research in Canadian community hospitals: a qualitative study
This study described the underlying dimensions of community hospital research culture and targeted strategies for strengthening research culture at different levels of research program maturity. Community hospitals without pre-existing research infrastructure were able to foster a culture of research from the bottom-up by emphasizing the value of embedding research in clinical practice. Although challenging, fostering a culture of research from the bottom-up may be necessary to propel research forward and initiate the process to build research capacity within a community hospital.
