'It's trying to manage the work': a qualitative evaluation of recruitment processes within a UK multicentre trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore trial site staff's perceptions regarding barriers and facilitators to local recruitment.

Design

Qualitative semi-structured interviews with a range of trial site staff from four trial sites in the UK. Interviews were analysed thematically to identify common themes across sites, barriers that could be addressed and facilitators that could be shared with other sites.

Participants

11 members of staff from four trial sites: clinical grant Co-applicant (n=1); Principal Investigators (n=3); Consultant Urologist (n=1); Research Nurses (n=5); Research Assistant (n=1).

Setting

Embedded within an ongoing randomised controlled trial (the TISU trial). TISU is a UK multicentre trial comparing therapeutic interventions for ureteric stones.
