Indian journal of pharmaceutical education and researchSummary: Background: The value of scientific research should be instilled in students from the
very beginning of their university education, to foster a creative attitude in the next
generation. It is critical to promote a research culture using various technologies and
strategies. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess students’ perspectives
towards scientific research and to learn more about the obstacles they confront in this
area. Methods: Students at the Colleges of Medicine (COM), Pharmacy (COP), and
Applied Sciences (CAS) were given a validated, pretested, and organized questionnaire
(COA). Using the SPSS IBM 23 application, the data was examined utilizing descriptive
statistics. Also, correlation statistics was done to determine the influence of perception,
obstacles, and practices on each other. The statistical significance level was set at
P#0.05. Results: When compared to their COA counterparts (3.8/5), COM (4.3/5) and
COP (4.2/5) students had considerably higher average perception scores on the Likert
response scale. The most significant barriers to undertaking research were a lack of
time and research training. Both male and female students had a positive perception
towards research. Female students, on the other hand, were more likely to engage in the
practice. Positive correlation was noticed between perception and practice of scientific
research. Higher level of obstacles influenced negatively on the practices of research
among most of the University students. Conclusion: Although, college of Pharmacy and
college of medicine students participate more regularly in scientific research, there is
a need to orient them on the dissemination of their research outcomes. To foster a
research environment and improve research practices among students, authorities and
faculty members at AlMaarefa University should address and resolve these challenges.
