Introduction: Background and objectives: As research is the building block of education development, the study of research methods is important for improving the quality of research. Among different research methods, content analysis has gained particular significance; however, it has not yet been clearly examined in terms of its features and techniques. To fill this gap, the present article was an attempt to seek experts’ views on this issue.
Materials and Methods: This study was a non-systematic narrative review article. First, books and searches of previous studies were used in scientific information databases abroad: PubMed, Scopus Web of Science, Science Direct Google scholar, between 1940 and 2022 with the keywords Content, Analysis, Qualitative content analysis, Quantitative content analysis and also used, Keyword content analysis, qualitative method, qualitative content analysis, quantitative content analysis in databases, MagIran, SID, Iranmedex, Irandoc. Then, 21 related articles were identified and reviewed.
Results: Based on the findings of the current study, there are particular techniques for conducting content analysis research distinguishing it from other research methods. Besides, findings of the study revealed that challenges among experts about the content analysis research method is partly due to its history and its evolution over the time and also it is related to the very highly flexible nature of this research method.
Conclusion: Content analysis is an independent scientific research method in which the researcher makes use of qualitative processes to describe and summarize data for making inferences and finding a conceptual framework and finally formulating a theory.

Background and Objective: One of the main sources for research in Universities is dissertations. Performing research in different majors of medicine results in improvement and better implementing of student dissertation has a special place. Knowing the challenges of conducting GP dissertations and determining the administrative process problems can be helpful to modify learning program and improve the quality of education. The purpose of this study is to determine challenges in performing GP dissertation. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was done through content analysis method in 2012, and for data collection, semi-structured and deep interviews were used. Sampling was done in purposive method and continued until data saturation. For analyzing the data, conventional content analysis were used. Results: Twenty students of GP graduates participated in this study. The main categories extracted from data were educational, structural and human sources barriers which were supposed as the GP challenges, and the lack of education, educational strategy, official, economic and performing problems, supervising, lack of motivation and time deficit were considered as subcategories. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that educational, structural and human resources barriers were the most important challenges in GP dissertation process. Regarding the importance of GP dissertations as a part of research in the country, effective strategies such as shortening the process of proposal approval, increasing financial support, performing workshops for methodology and scientific writing for the students and their advisors are suggested for decreasing the problems.
