Abstract

Background: One of the effective factors in research quality and training of efficient human resources in this field is the beliefs and individual attitudes in relation to research. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of research self-efficacy and its relationship with research performance in postgraduate students of Ahvaz rehabilitation school.
Methods: Fourty-six postgraduate students of Ahvaz Rehabilitation school participated in this cross-sectional study in census manner. Research self-efficacy Scale and research performance scale questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and analytic statistics.
Results: Of the total of 46 participants, 37 (80.4%) were women and 9 (19.6%) were men with total mean age of 30 (± 5.9%) years. Mean score of research self-efficacy scale was 178.88 (± 28.XMRThe Spearman’s correlation test indicated a significant positive weak to moderate correlation (r = 0.99 and p = 0.006) between research performance and research self-efficacy.
Conclusions: With regard to the average level of research self-efficacy in postgraduate students of Ahvaz rehabilitation school and the existence of a weak to moderate positive significant relationship between this index and research performance, it is suggested that educational administrators should hold empowerment workshops for students, especially workshops on qualitative studies, basic and advanced statistical tests, and Persian and English academic paper writing.
