Attitudes And Beliefs Of Clinicians Regarding Barriers And Enablers In Conducting Perioperative Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Study

Background: Clinical trials are required to determine which treatment plans are most effective and most cost-effective. Integrating clinical trials in routine clinical practice is a proposed method of increasing participation in clinical trials. The attitudes and beliefs of clinicians undertaking clinical trials is a key component in conducting a successful trial. Our aim is to identify barriers or enablers perceived by surgeons and anaesthetists that would be necessary and sufficient to conduct clinical trials in peri-operative medicine.
