如何產生研究計畫?
•
一、研究計畫才有取研究經費
二、有計畫、經費才有好的研究
團隊
三、有計畫、經費、好的研究團
隊才有好成果
研究問題
•它是研究者想解決的疑問,
也就是你的研究的目的
•那麼,你的研究想陳述什麼
問題?
靈感來至何處?
•文獻
•對於新的觀念及技術保持警覺
參加會議 (i.e. SARS in Vietnam 啟示)
•抱好奇,懷疑的態度
BCG真的有效嗎
•保持想像力,觀察力,意志力
人為何吃三餐
•選擇導師
提出的問題最好縮小到
可作為研究的主題
問題:
人是否應該吃魚?
vs
台灣人多久吃ㄧ次魚?
吃魚有好處嗎?
vs
吃魚會降低罹患心血管疾病的風險嗎?
好的研究問題應該有其作用,
不應讓讀者感覺so what?
好的研究問題應具備以下條件
• Feasible
Adequate number of subjects
Affordable in time and money
Manageable in scope
• Interesting
Getting the answer intrigues the
investigator and her friends
• Novel
Confirms, refutes or extends previous
findings
Provides new findings
• Ethical
Institutional review board will
• Relevant
To scientific knowledge
To clinical and health policy
To future research
approve
不同角度有不同的問題
比方說對於腸病毒71型感染
臨床醫師可能的疑問是,受到腸病毒
71型感染後,什麼轉機造成感染者死
亡?
流行病學家可能要問,1998年EV 71
為什麼造成大流行?
研究法
• 觀察研究法
1.世代研究
2.橫斷研究
3.病例對照研究
• 臨床實驗研究法
1.隨機
2.非隨機
描述性研究

臨床實驗研究
問題:你會由何研究法開始?
1999年6月14日宜蘭靖廬通報,有12
位大陸客因下肢水腫、手足無力、食
慾不振、呼吸困難而住院。其中有2
位雖經加強治療,仍在住院24小時內
不治死亡。
(Chen KT et al. Public Health Reports 2003;118:59-64)
首先進行描述性研究
人

選擇研究對象
問題:你的病例定義?
1996年8月間,有6位在台灣某電子工
廠工作的菲勞,因皮疹、發燒、肝功
能異常而住院。其中有一人死亡,另
外5人經住院治療後痊癒。
(Chen KT et al. Am J Public Health 2003;93:489-492)
如果要探討菲勞罹患SJS/TEN的危
險因子
病例定義:1996年2月至1997年元月
間,因SJS/TEN而住院的菲勞
對照定義:同期間來台,與病例同
一國籍、性別、年齡差距在3歲
以內,同一工廠工作但不同寢室
的工作人員
如果要探討口服避孕藥造成靜脈栓
塞的危險性
case: between March 1999 and
September 2004,consecutive
patients aged 18-50 years with
first episode of deep venous
thrombosis or pulmonary
embolism in Netherlands
(BMJ: 2009;339:b2921)
Control: Partners of patient aged
18-50 years were invited as
controls
Exclusion: postmenopausal,
pregnant, or within 4 weeks
postpartum at the time of the
thrombotic event and women
using hormonal contraception
other that oral contraceptives
Clinical versus community population
1.選擇醫院病人為研究對象要考
慮選樣偏差的問題,比方醫院
知名度高,較多嚴重病人
2.以郵寄問卷訪問受訪者也同樣
要考慮選樣偏差的問題,比如
願意受訪的是較健康的人

Purpose (目的)
Goal (目標)
Objective (預期成果)
Purpose
The purpose of this public health
initiative is to make the vaccine against
human papillomavirus available to the
Anytown community, especially to girls
and women between the ages of 11 and
26.
Goals
To accomplish this purpose, we have
set 2 goals:
1) To prepare an educational brochure
targeted to teenage girls, their parents,
and young women that describes
cervical cancer and its risk factors and
the reasons for getting vaccinated.
2) To distribute these brochures to schools,
physicians, pharmacists, and libraries in
the community.
Objectives for Goal #1
We want the brochure to educate readers
about cervical cancer and the vaccine and to
leave a lasting impression of the reasons for
getting vaccinated. Therefore, this goal has 2
objectives.
Object 1: Immediately after reading the brochure,
readers will be able to answer correctly 80% of
the questions on cervical cancer and the
vaccine.
Object 2: Two weeks after reading the brochure,
readers will be able to remember at least one
reason for getting vaccinated.
• 研究問題
探討胸腔手術病人,術後使用繃帶對
於傷口復原有多大效果?
• 無效假說(null hypothesis)
接受胸腔手術的病人,術後使用繃帶
處理並不影響傷口復原時間。
• 替代假說(alternative hypothesis)
接受胸腔手術的病人,術後使用繃帶
處理會縮短傷口復原的時間。
example
1. To recruit 400 healthy men, 40-59
years old into a randomized blinded trial
of the effects of a testosterone patch
2. To test the hypothesis that compared
with men assigned to recruit a placebo
patch, those assigned to receive the
testosterone patch will have a less bone
loss
四、背景及重要意義
describing the background in the
field under study

背景(Background statement)
問題(Problem statement)

研究作法(Forecasting statement)
Examples
[Part 1: Background statement]
In patients with atherosclerotic
vascular disease, aspirin is widely
recommended to prevent myocardial
infarction, graft occlusion after
coronary artery bypass surgery, and
stroke.
[Part 2: Problem statement]
However, aspirin is also associated with
prolonged bleeding. Patients are often asked to
stop taking aspirin for several days before
undergoing bronchoscopy, to reduce the
presumed risk of bleeding. The effectiveness of
this practice has never been tested, but it dose
mean that patients must, for a short while, stop
taking a medication with proven benefits, and it
can also delay the planned bronchoscopy if
aspirin use is not stopped soon enough.
[Part 3: Activity statement]
Thus, we sought to determine
whether aspirin really dose increase
the risk of bleeding after
bronchoscopy.
[Part 4: Forecasting statement]
In this article, we describe a
prospective trial of 138 consecutive
patients undergoing bronchoscopy in
which we compared the number and
severity of bleeding events in those
taking aspirin with those who were
not.

結論
撰寫題目練習
• List the most important words associated
with your research (e.g., variable names,
processes, reagents, outcomes,
interventions, experimental conditions)
skin testing
humoral immunity
streptococcal vaccination
ankylosing spondylitis
HLA B27
cell-mediated immunity
• Arrange the terms in a logical order or orders:
skin testing humoral immunity cell-mediated immunity
ankylosing spondylitis streptococcal vaccination HLA
B27
• Connect the terms with phrases, conjunctions,
or transitions. Do NOT worry about how long
the resulting text becomes:
skin testing to determine humoral immunity and cellmediated immunity responses to streptococcal
vaccination in patients with HLA B27 and ankylosing
spondylitis
• Begin to form text into a title by rearranging or
removing unnecessary words,
Immune responses in HLA B27-positive patients and
ankylosing spondylitis: responses to streptococcal
vaccination
• Continue to refine the words and their order
until you arrive at a final title:
Immune Responses to Streptococcal Vaccination in
HLA B27-Positive Patients with Ankylosing
Spondylitis
