“…In our study(40.8%) of students involved in clinical trials. Similar to our indings, study conducted by a Koyto et al believed most of the postgraduate students involved in clinical trials (Chatterjee et al, 2016) and according to supro Chaudhary et al-she observed 90% of doctors wanted clinical trials training to be incorporated in the undergraduate curriculum. The results of our study shows postgraduates have a better knowledge about clinical trials than the undergraduate.…”

Clinical trials play an important role in improvement of quality on healthcare practice. Good clinical practice is a backbone of conductance of trials. A lack of knowledge may translate to a negative perception towards clinical trials. The study aims to evaluate the awareness of clinical trials among undergraduate dental students in a private dental institute. We have quantified the knowledge and perception of clinical trials by a structured validated questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to dental students from first year undergraduate to third year Postgraduate. The percentage of questions answered were calculated and tabulated in the excel sheet. Data were analysed using SPSS statistical software and the chi-square test was done. P valve was set as 0.05 as a level of significance. From statistical analysis, postgraduate students (59.2%) had better knowledge than undergraduate students (40.8%). Around (46.7%) had been involved in clinical trial training. Within the limitations of current study, students pursuing postgraduate had a better knowledge of clinical trial methodology than compared to undergraduate students.

“…The study instrument was developed via brainstorming within the research team and by referring to previous literature. 15 , 16 The initial draft of the questionnaire was face-validated via a group of experts, where input was taken and the questionnaire adjusted accordingly. Thereafter, the questionnaire was pilot-tested, where feedback from 30 participants who had been encouraged to provide comments about the clarity and comprehensibility of each item of the questionnaire was taken.…”

Purpose Recruitment of adequate numbers of research participants is important for advancement in biomedical fields. Awareness and knowledge of the population about biomedical research are expected to enhance willingness to participate in such research. Therefore, in the current study, participants’ awareness, knowledge, and willingness to participate in scientific research in Jordan were examined. Methods This was a survey-based, cross-sectional study conducted from December 2019 to February 2020 among the public in Jordan. After written informed consent had been obtained from study participants, a structured questionnaire was used to survey research participants. The final questionnaire contained three parts: part I was about demographics and general information, part II assessed participants’ awareness and willingness to participate in biomedical research, and part III assessed participants’ knowledge about biomedical research studies. Results A total of 2,000 subjects agreed to participate, of which 67.4% were female (n=1339). More than half the respondents were aware of biomedical research (58.6%), of which 18.1% had previously participated in biomedical research. In addition, 55.5% reported that they were willing to participate in biomedical research, while a lower proportion (31.1%) were willing to volunteer in a clinical trial. The overall knowledge of participants about biomedical research was deemed moderate (total score 12.9 out of 20). Finally, willingness to participate in biomedical research was associated with being male, being married, having a biomedicine-related degree, and higher knowledge score. Conclusion A majority of Jordanians had moderate levels of awareness and knowledge about biomedical research. Such factors as sex, type of education, and knowledge contribute to willingness to participate in biomedical research.

“…Current findings were in agreement with results from other studies done in other developing countries. 11,16,17,20 Although a large percentage of medical residents reported that they have taken training courses about clinical research at some point during their clinical training, only a small number of them showed basic knowledge about ethical standards related to patients' privacy and rights protection codes. More than two thirds of respondent residents showed adequate knowledge about informed consent importance and elements as well as when it is mandatory to be taken.…”

“…A literature review was performed to determine the core points utilized to assess attitudes and knowledge of medical residents toward clinical trials. 16,17 The questionnaire items were tailored to suit the purposed study objectives focusing on cancer-related clinical trials. An informed consent statement was included at the beginning of the questionnaire with a brief description of the study purpose and the questionnaire participants provided their informed consent for their participation.…”

Background: Clinical trials are an important tool to test the efficacy of new treatment modalities for cancer patients. Physicians, including medical residents, should play a major role in carrying out clinical trials to generate a strong body of evidence to determine the best available treatment for their patients. Carrying out clinical trials demands adequate understanding of the research phases and requirements including ethical standards as well as presenting positive attitudes toward the clinical research. Hence, evaluating the knowledge and attitudes of medical residents toward running clinical trials is essential to assess their preparedness and willingness to participate in future studies. Methods: This study was a questionnaire-based observational study. It involved medical residents from various specialties who served cancer patients admitted at King Abdullah University Hospital during the period from June 1 to August 15, 2017. Results: A total number of 83 respondents completed the questionnaire. Of them, 56.7% and 53.0% of the respondents reported either current or previous participation in clinical trials research, respectively. Only 10 residents (12.0%) had previous participation in clinical research where a new investigational cancer treatment was tested. While, 91.6% of respondents believed that physicians should be involved in running clinical cancer research, only 25.3% had previous experience in writing a cancer clinical trial protocol and 28.9% wrote a scientific manuscript on cancer clinical trials for publication. Moreover, 67.5% of residents knew when informed consent should be obtained and 62.7% were aware of the clinical equipoise concept in clinical trials. Conclusion: Much remains to be done to improve knowledge and attitudes of medical residents toward cancer clinical trials and the main ethical principles that should be followed to assure having an ideal research environment, which will pave the way for the generation of high quality clinical cancer research and reliable evidence-based clinical practice for cancer management.
