Abstract: Research is crucial to the development of family medicine around the world.However，family physicians in practice often hesitate to enter into investigative endeavours.Common reasons for such hesitation include limited exposure to the process of conducting research and the belief that research is best conducted by academic scholars.Our intent here is to encourage clinically focused family physicians' involvement in research activities by explaining how they can cultivate inquisitiveness so as to develop questions for exploration.We present an approach to research that focuses on five steps emergent from the day-to-day，habitual practice of family medicine，wherever in the world it is practised.We illustrate this approach by describing a successful practice-based research study.We conclude by inviting all family physicians to consider integrating research into their practice lives so as to expand their professional horizons and help educate the next generation of global family physicians.

摘要： 研究对全世界家庭医学的发展至关重要。然而，在诊疗中，家庭医生常对研究工作产生犹疑。产生这种顾虑主要是因为其很少接触研究过程，并且认为研究最好由学术人员进行。本文目的是通过解释如何培养好奇心，来鼓励临床家庭医生参与研究活动，提出问题进行探索。本文提出了一种适用于全球家庭医学日常诊疗的5步研究法，并通过介绍一个基于诊疗的成功研究对其进行了阐释。最后，希望所有家庭医生考虑将研究纳入实践当中，以扩大专业视野，便于教育下一代家庭医生。
