Abstract: Objective　Analyze the problems of hospital management research, and provide countermeasures and suggestions for further management.Methods　The hospital-level excellent management projects from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among the project applicants.Results　Among the excellent management projects, those focusing on "medical quality and safety management" accounted for the largest proportion, reaching 42.70%. "Employees spent the least time on hospital management research", with an average rank of 1.61. The main purposes for employees to conduct management research were "improving work performance" (77.92%), "updating professional knowledge" (61.04%), and "promoting professional titles" (45.45%). The main research difficulties faced by employees were "lack of research methods" (72.73%), "insufficient research time" (67.53%), and "lack of research objects" (57.14%). The main research support that employees expected to obtain included "research training" (89.61%), "supporting incentive policies" (87.01%), and "necessary research time" (76.62%).Conclusion　Establishing a hospital management research fund is conducive to improving the hospital management level. Hospitals should take the high-quality development of public hospitals as a guide to build a complete funding system for hospital management research; set up a youth fund for hospital management research to encourage young backbones to participate actively; improve supporting incentive policies, ensure sufficient research time, and enhance employees' enthusiasm for participation; and carry out management research training oriented to employees' needs.
