About

Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) is already in the process of providing support for research infrastructure, such as trained staff, medical facilities, funding, and training needs for its healthcare professionals (HCPs). An HCP's own interest in clinical research is an individualistic trait that SEHA wants to target and develop, complementary to its medical staff specialty, educational background, and willingness to learn.

The investigators' aim with this study is to understand the participants' perspective on challenges and barriers stopping them from conducting research and what supportive measures they have around them from the organization and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that back their growth as research professionals at SEHA.

Full description

The investigators' aim with this study is to understand healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perspective on challenges and barriers stopping them from conducting research and what supportive measures they have around them from the organization and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that back their growth as research professionals at Abu Dhabi Health Services Company -SEHA.

Investigators hypothesize that participants will give positive feedback on their interest in conducting clinical research but will outline barriers like lack of training opportunities, trained clinical operations staff, organizational support, protected time, etc. Moreover, they will also highlight the lack of data system training, participant accrual challenges, software interoperability issues, sponsor and contract research organization (CRO) issues, and lack of funding opportunities as major barriers to conducting research in the UAE.
