Microbiology Laboratory Gap Assessment (Chinese version) |
Participant Information Sheet (参与者信息说明书)
Dear participant,
Thank you for your interest in our study, entitled “Strengthening Diagnostics for sEvere bacTErial infeCTions in Asia (DETECT-Asia): Assessing gaps and barriers on current diagnostic capacity of clinical microbiology laboratories” (NUS-IRB-2025-867).
This survey is targeted at microbiology laboratories and is preferably completed by laboratory managers, senior laboratory staff, who are most knowledgeable about the laboratory workflows, capacities, and diagnostic processes.
To ensure consistency and avoid duplicate responses, we kindly request that only one participant per laboratory/institution complete this survey on behalf of their team, preferably someone in a managerial or senior position.
This survey aims to assess the key gaps and barriers to improving diagnostic capacities in clinical microbiology laboratories in Asia and globally.
It consists primarily of multiple-choice questions, where you may be asked to select a single response, choose all applicable options, or rank items based on importance. We kindly ask that you answer all questions to the best of your ability and avoid leaving any items blank.
Please note that your participation is entirely voluntary, and you may choose to stop at any time. The survey is anonymous, and no identifiable information will be collected.
If you have any questions regarding the research, please contact Dr. Alec Aligui at alec.aligui@u.nus.edu.
For an independent opinion specifically regarding the rights and welfare of research participants, you may contact a staff member of the National University of Singapore Institutional Review Board at telephone (+65) 6516 1234 [Mondays to Thursdays from 8.30am to 6pm, and Fridays from 8.30am to 5.30pm, except public holidays] or email at irb@nus.edu.sg.
尊敬的参与者：
感谢您对本研究的关注。本研究题为《加强亚洲严重细菌感染诊断能力（DETECT-Asia）：评估临床微生物实验室当前诊断能力的差距与障碍》（NUS-IRB-2025-867）。
本问卷面向微生物实验室，建议由对实验室流程、能力及诊断过程最为了解的人员填写，例如实验室管理人员或资深实验室工作人员。
为确保结果一致性并避免重复填写，我们恳请每个实验室/机构仅由一位代表填写本问卷，优先由管理层或资深人员代表团队完成。
本调查旨在评估亚洲及全球临床微生物实验室在提升诊断能力方面的主要差距与障碍。
问卷主要由选择题构成，部分问题可能需要您选择单一答案、勾选所有适用选项，或根据重要性进行排序。我们诚挚地请您尽可能完整作答，避免遗漏问题。
请注意，您的参与完全出于自愿，您可随时选择退出。本问卷为匿名调查，不会收集任何可识别个人身份的信息。
如您对本研究有任何疑问，请联系 Alec Aligui 博士（邮箱：alec.aligui@u.nus.edu）。
如您希望就研究参与者的权益与福祉获取独立意见，可联系新加坡国立大学伦理审查委员会（Institutional Review Board）工作人员：电话（+65）6516 1234（服务时间：周一至周四 8:30–18:00，周五 8:30–17:30，公共假期除外），或发送邮件至 irb@nus.edu.sg。
