Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze clinical researchers' knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) regarding ethical review and its correlation with KAP,which could provide foundation information for developing ethical review education programs for clinical researchers in future.Methods The random sampling method was used to stratify for different group by professional titles.Total 277 clinical researchers in a top class hospital in Beijing were investigated using self-developed questionnaire.The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software.Results The average scores of clinical researchers' knowledge,attitude and practice about ethical review are 69.05,80.86,and 67.80 respectively.The correlation coefficient of knowledge and attitudes is 0.222 (P＜0.05),the correlation coefficient of knowledge and practice is 0.544 (P＜0.05),and the correlation coefficient of practice and attitudes is 0.351 (P＜0.05).Conclusions Clinical researchers' knowledge about ethical review were at a relatively low level.And their practice about ethical review were not good enough.But their attitude towards learning ethical review was relatively good.It has suggested that more education and training programs on ethical review should be implemented for clinical investigators to improve their ethical literacy.
