    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Research Governance

    Background:

    • Research ethical committees (RECs) play a crucial role in overseeing research.
    • Understanding member perspectives is vital for optimizing REC functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the attitudes of REC members and controls regarding the functions and perceived needs of ethical review processes.
    • To identify areas for improvement in the structure and operation of research ethical committees.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to members of selected research ethical committees and a control group.
    • Data collected focused on perceptions of ethical review necessity, training needs, system improvements, and committee scope.

    Main Results:

    • Nearly all respondents affirmed the necessity of ethical review for research projects.
    • A significant majority (67%) believed the system could be enhanced, with 47% advocating for monitoring procedures.
    • Opinions varied on the role of non-medical members, and 33% viewed committees as purely advisory.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a strong consensus on the need for ethical review and significant support for enhancing current systems.
    • Recommendations include providing training for committee members and implementing follow-up monitoring.
    • Further clarification on the scope of review and the role of diverse members is warranted.
