Background Nurses play a significant role in contributing to various health priorities globally, including research. Identifying the status of national nursing research priorities (NNRPs) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is crucial to cultivate these priorities. Aim This paper aims to highlight the existing status of NNRPs in EMR countries concerning their existence and publicity. Methods Experts from nine EMR countries, including Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, responded, and participated in this report. The analysis was conducted to determine the percentage of countries with existing, under development, or nonexistent NNRPs. Results The analysis shows that 58% of the participating countries have existing NNRPs, while 25.8% don't and 16% are under development. The largest portion of NNRPs (38%) was developed by governmental organizations. Midwives were not specified in half of the published priorities. The majority of NNRPs (65%) were developed by experts’ opinions and consensus, and 33% only have an associated strategy, outcome measures, and funding opportunities. Yet, most of the published research priorities were not updated regularly. Conclusion EMR countries face a challenge with the need for more nurses, which may hinder their involvement in research projects or continued education. Despite this, all countries involved in this report emphasized the importance of developing nursing education and research as priorities for improving their current nursing workforce. Health policymakers, nurse practitioners, academic researchers, educators, and nursing leaders should collaborate to develop operational plans to foster national nursing education and research.

“…However, research conducted among HCPs in various countries worldwide consistently highlights de ciencies in understanding research methodology, particularly in statistical methods as prominent impediments to research progress (9,(11)(12)(13). These ndings are echoed in the Middle East with several studies revealing poor levels of knowledge in biostatistics among different HCP groups, particularly regarding statistical software and advanced statistical methods (6, 9, [14][15][16][17].…”

Background: Healthcare professionals often face challenges in conducting and publishing research, citing a lack of biostatistical knowledge and skills as a significant barrier. In response, a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course was developed to enhance local research capacity. Objective: This paper aims to delineate the establishment and delivery of the biostatistics course for healthcare professionals, while presenting evaluation findings focused on self-reported enhancements in knowledge, competence, and performance. Additionally, potential areas for course refinement are explored. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was conducted, utilizing routine data from evaluations aligned with accreditation standards. Data included attendance records, certificate completions, and findings from two self-report surveys administered post-course. The surveys gauged changes in knowledge and competence, achievement of course objectives, barriers to certificate completion, and long-term outcomes such as research publication. Results: Findings indicated widespread consensus on meeting course objectives, albeit with challenges noted in certain intermediate and advanced topics. Participants reported notable improvements in knowledge, competence, and performance, underscoring the course's efficacy. Long-term assessment revealed sustained biostatistical skills, with a majority crediting the course for manuscript drafting (over 50%) and publication support (42%). Conclusion: The CPD course in biostatistics yields positive outcomes in knowledge, competence, and performance among healthcare professionals. Identified challenges in advanced topics and certificate completion warrant improvements such as extending course duration, integrating cost-effective online platforms, and offering enduring material for comprehensive review. Rigorous research methodology is crucial for exploring causal relationships and enhancing the effectiveness of research capacity-building initiatives in the region.
