摘要：Universities have two main roles: education and research. There must be an interaction and balance between these two roles so that the university can progress. It is of great importance to study the research obstacles in all fields of study. The researchers in these fields have the responsibility of understanding these obstacles. This survey was conducted in 2014. A search was conducted in available scientific databases in Iran such as SID, IranMedex, Medlibe, Google Scholar and Pubmed. The following keywords were used in the searching process: professor, professors, faculty, student, students, nurse, obstetrician, employee, medicine, medical sciences, research, study, research project, obstacles, deterrent and Iran. 34 papers were found, six of which were eliminated in the end. Organizational barriers had the most impact on professors' reluctance toward research. Among the students, nurses and obstetricians, both organizational and personal issues played a role. Although, in this limited research, organizational factors were more dominant. There is a need for more research on this topic in other universities of the country as well, without the restrictions of the previous studies
