“…In this study, 36.1% of the students believed that "ethics committees often cause delays in research". This is consistent with the findings reported by El-Dessouky et al [10], where 44% of respondents believed that ethics committees delay the research, but is higher than the 26% reported in the study of Reddy et al [1].…”

“…In the study of El-Dessouky et al [10], 36.8% of respondents had participated in research ethics workshops or courses. Reddy et al [1] reported that 67% of respondents had been educated about research ethics. Compared to the study of El-Dessouky et al [10], a larger fraction of students surveyed in this study had participated in research ethics workshops and courses, which reflects the higher importance given to the topic at the surveyed university.…”

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of the students of Kerman dental school (Iran) about ethics in dental research. Material and Methods: This cross-section study was conducted on 307 dental students selected through the census sampling method. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 12 items about knowledge and 17 items about attitude toward research ethics. Data analyzed in SPSS software using t-test and linear regression test. P-values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Of the respondents, 33.9% were male and 66.1% were female, and 44% had good knowledge and 20.8% had a positive attitude about research ethics. A significant correlation was found between knowledge and attitude. A significant correlation was also observed between knowledge and participation in research workshops. Knowledge and attitude showed no significant correlation with gender or year of admission. Conclusion: Participants had appropriate knowledge and attitude about research ethics. There is some room for improvement in research ethics education concerning experimental works and retrospective studies on biologic samples. Holding research workshops with an introduction to ethical codes of research is recommended.

“…However, like ours, almost half of their faculty viewed REC review as a source of delay in performance of research (El-Dessouky et al, 2011). Similarly, knowledge regarding RECs among dental faculty in India found sufficient knowledge and positive attitudes toward RECs (Reddy et al, 2013). Researchers in Lebanon and Qatar complained of delays, rigid and insensitive requirements, and ineffective communication with researchers by their RECs (Makhoul et al, 2014).…”

“…This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized a structured questionnaire based on surveys published in previous studies (El-Dessouky et al, 2011; Reddy et al, 2013) with additional items. A list of REC/IRB functions and activities was generated from our review of the REC literature and from REC documents of several institutions (Keith-Spiegel & Tabachnick, 2006; Matar & Silverman, 2013; Schwenzer, 2008).…”

Human research at Jordanian universities is increasing. This descriptive cross-sectional survey assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning the procedures and review process of research ethics committees (RECs) among faculty in health sciences in two major Jordanian universities. Most faculty reported having no training in research ethics in their current institutions. Although knowledge of RECs’ roles and functions was adequate, deficiencies were found regarding the advisory and monitoring roles for RECs raised in this survey. Faculty expressed concerns about levels of ethical training for members of RECs and potential conflicts of interest and bias in review process. RECs should provide ethics training for faculty, and future research should examine the functioning of the RECs in Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries.
