“…The result of this study and the previous study, which reviewed the current research status (McCreaddie et al, 2018) and the priorities of nursing research in UAE (Al-Yateem et al, 2016, 2018, 2019, form the basis of the future UAE Nursing and Midwifery Council nursing research strategy. The Subcommittee looks forward to reporting on future initiatives to ensure the nursing profession continues to influence and enhance health care policy and practice in the UAE.…”

“…Finally, this study in highlighting the barriers to research identified by study participants has added great value to the previous studies done in the UAE about nursing research. To conclude, having identified the current status of nursing research in UAE (McCreaddie et al., 2018), the barriers to conduct and utilize research, and the priorities of nursing research in UAE (Al-Yateem et al., 2018, 2019), the stage is set to work out a strategy to move the nursing research agenda forward in the country.…”

“…McCreaddie et al 2018provided the context of nursing and nursing research in the UAE and beyond. Al-Yateem et al (2018, 2019 identified research priorities for general and specialized nursing practice in the UAE. The study presented here outlines specific operational challenges in developing and undertaking nursing research in the UAE.…”

It is important that nurses fully engage with the development and use of evidence-based practice so they can influence policy and improve patient care. There are significant challenges in developing nursing research and evidence-based practice in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Therefore, the UAE Nursing and Midwifery Council formed a Scientific Research Subcommittee to lead the development of nursing research. Following a literature review to assess the status of nursing research in the UAE, the Subcommittee initiated a study to clarify UAE nurses’ perceptions of barriers to implementing research. The results were expected to enable comparisons with other countries and establish a baseline on which to build and prioritize initiatives to address identified barriers. A cross-sectional design with convenience sampling was used to survey 606 nurses from across the UAE. The survey included the BARRIERS questionnaire and was administered online and in paper-based formats. The top three nurse-perceived barriers that affected nurses’ use of research in the UAE (in descending order) were as follows: lack of authority to change patient care procedures, insufficient time to read research, and insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas. The highest ranked barriers to nurses conducting research in the UAE were lack of time and competing demands for time. The findings of this survey and a published literature review informed development of a strategy to address identified barriers to nurses in the UAE using and conducting research. This multifaceted strategy includes initiatives to reform policy and practice at local and national levels.

“…Many studies relating to HSR describe its application to a specific medical condition rather than the broader health system [21][22][23]. developed Previous paediatric HSR agendas have primarily been conceptual models, have demonstrated limited engagement or integration in the health "system" and are specific to the United States [12,24,25].…”

Background: Health services and systems research (HSSR) strategies dedicated to paediatric health care and service delivery are limited. Strategies are available but are outdated and yet to be optimised for use in a paediatric health system. We aim to describe the development and integration of a Children's Health Service and System Research Strategy (CHSSR-S) in Children's Health Queensland (CHQ), a large specialist quaternary hospital and health service caring for children and young people in Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. Methods: The CHSSR-S was developed using an inductive, bottom-up, participatory systems approach across three phases: (1) Identifying local HSSR capacity; (2) Development; (3) Integration. A HSSR "Champion" was appointed to lead all phases. Clinical, research and system-based stakeholders (n = 14) were individually identified, contacted and participated in dedicated meetings and a workshop to iteratively design the CHSSR-S. A health system-wide CHSSR-S governance committee was established to drive phase three. Health system integration was achieved by multicomponent, action-based strategies. Results: The final CHSSR-S comprised ten Research Priorities and three Research Enablers, and was successfully integrated within CHQ via a range of platforms. Research Priorities included: (1) Population Health; (2) Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer; (3) Indigenous Health; (4); Mental Health; (5) Nutrition and Obesity; (6) Rare Neurodevelopmental Disorders; (7) Sepsis; (8) Screening, surveillance and monitoring; (9) Innovation; and (10) Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Research Priorities were supported by three Research Enablers: (1) Data; (2); Evaluation and Health Economics; and (3) Policy. Conclusions: The CHSSR-S is the first known paediatric HSSR strategy developed and integrated within a large dedicated paediatric health system. The CHSSR-S may be used to guide global paediatric healthcare systems to prioritise HSSR in their local setting to optimise health service delivery and patient outcomes.

“…producing competent nurses who can practise globally) (Mckinnon, Mcnelis, Leon, Whitlow, & Fitzpatrick, 2019; Mcnelis & Mckinnon, 2019; Palmer & Miles, 2019) and the role of technology in education (Broadbent, 2017; Thomas, West, & Borup, 2017). UAE‐based discussions regarding these aspects are still in the early stages, and they remain to be achieved in nursing education (Al‐Yateem et al, 2019; Brownie, Hunter, Aqtash, & Day, 2015; Brownie, Rossiter, Hamad, & Aqtash, 2017; El‐Haddad, 2006; Gomez, 2010; Johnson, 1992; Kronfol & Athique, 1986; McCreaddie et al, 2018; Nematollahi & Isaac, 2012; Torres‐Alzate, 2019). This suggests the road map for the UAE nursing education system needs to be strengthened.…”

The current United Arab Emirates' (UAE) strategic vision outlines an ambitious plan for a world-class health care system (UAE Government, 2018). The nursing profession holds a key position within this strategy and is considered a key contributor in its development. Given nursing's prominent position as both a leader in health care delivery and a key driver for health care reform in the UAE, it is important to outline the potential contribution of the profession and the challenges it faces in the context of this reform.
