👉 Struggle research, also known as applied or translational research, involves investigating real-world problems and developing practical solutions to address them. This type of research often begins with identifying gaps in current knowledge or ineffective practices in fields like medicine, technology, social services, or education. Researchers then engage in rigorous studies—ranging from clinical trials to community interventions—to test hypotheses and validate potential solutions. However, this process is fraught with challenges: securing funding, navigating complex regulatory environments, ensuring ethical standards, and translating findings into actionable policies or tools that can be widely implemented. The struggle lies in bridging the gap between theoretical insights and practical application, often requiring interdisciplinary collaboration, persistence, and adaptability to overcome obstacles like limited resources, resistance to change, or unforeseen consequences of interventions.
