1 Identify a clear research question

The first step in any research project is to define a specific and answerable research question that addresses a gap in knowledge or practice. Your research question should be relevant to the clinical setting, aligned with the goals and priorities of the stakeholders, and feasible within the available time and resources. You can use frameworks such as PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) or SPIDER (Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type) to help you formulate your research question.

- A well-crafted research question is the foundation upon which your entire research project stands. - To craft a clear research question, consider the following: 1- Start by identifying the topic that fascinates you. Follow your passion. 2- Do a through literature review to explore what others have done. Ask for advise if needed. 3- Narrow Down the Scope of your research question. 4- Craft your research question with clarity and precision. Use a clear & unambiguous language. 5- Assess your research question to be testable & feasible within the available resources. 6- Strive for originality & significance. Consider the impact of your research. Nagwa Ibrahim, Pharm D, PhD Editor in Chief Global Journal of Medical Therapeutics

2 Seek ethical approval and consent

Before you start your research, you need to obtain ethical approval from the relevant authorities and informed consent from the participants. Ethical approval ensures that your research is conducted in a way that protects the rights, dignity, and safety of the participants and the staff. Informed consent ensures that the participants understand the purpose, methods, risks, and benefits of the research and agree to participate voluntarily. You should follow the ethical guidelines and regulations of your institution and country and prepare the necessary documents and forms for the approval and consent process.

3 Choose an appropriate research design and method

The next step is to choose a research design and method that suits your research question, objectives, and setting. There are different types of research designs, such as experimental, quasi-experimental, observational, and qualitative, that have different strengths and limitations. You should consider the level of evidence, validity, reliability, and generalizability of each design and method and select the one that best answers your research question. You should also consider the practical aspects, such as the availability of data, equipment, staff, and participants, and the potential challenges and risks of conducting the research in the clinical setting.

4 Engage with the staff and the participants

One of the key factors that can affect the success of your research is the engagement of the staff and the participants. You should communicate clearly and regularly with the staff and the participants about the aims, methods, expectations, and outcomes of the research. You should also involve them in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the research and seek their feedback and suggestions. Engaging with the staff and the participants can help you gain their trust, support, and cooperation, as well as improve the quality and relevance of your research.

Using consumer (patients) journey framework can guide the engagement with various stakeholders. By identifying pain points at each touchpoint, one can improve the process. Clinical trials can be challenging for both healthcare providers and participants, which is why it is important to minimize unnecessary burdens. Using patient journey framework to guide engagement may be beneficial: examples: simplifying the informed consent process, providing transportation assistance, offering flexible scheduling for study visits, and providing clear communication about the study protocol can all help to reduce the burden on patients and providers. This, in turn, can increase motivation for trial recruitment and improve adherence to the study protocol.

5 Manage your time and resources

Another challenge that you may face when conducting healthcare research in a clinical setting is managing your time and resources. You may have to balance your research activities with your clinical duties and other commitments, as well as deal with unexpected delays, changes, or problems. You should plan your research carefully and realistically, set clear and achievable milestones and deadlines, and monitor your progress and budget. You should also be flexible and adaptable, anticipate and mitigate potential risks and challenges, and seek help and support when needed.

6 Disseminate and apply your findings

The final step in your research project is to disseminate and apply your findings. You should share your research results and implications with the relevant audiences, such as the staff, the participants, the managers, the policymakers, and the academic community. You should use appropriate and effective formats and channels, such as reports, presentations, publications, or media, to communicate your findings and recommendations. You should also evaluate the impact and outcomes of your research and explore the possibilities and opportunities for further research or improvement.
