Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Bahraini individuals accept e-health system and the prominent factors affecting e-health system adoption in Bahrain. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopted a quantitative and qualitative approach, i.e., a self-administered questionnaire, unstructured and a semi-structured interview, which were used to collect the data. A questionnaire was distributed to Bahraini residents selected randomly. The framework was based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of reasoned action (TRA). Important variables from both the TAM model and TRA theory were extracted and jointly used to build the research model. Findings The findings indicated that the most factors affecting e-health adoption are trust, health literacy and attitude. Additionally, people in the private and government sectors understand e-health benefits. Practical implications If healthcare professionals understand the factors affecting e-health system adoption from an individual and organisational perspective, then nurses, pharmacists and others will be more conscious about e-health and its adoption status. Originality/value E-health system adoption has become increasingly important to governments, individuals, and researchers in recent years. A novel research framework, based on TAM and TRA, was used to produce a new integrated model.

Objective: The objective of the study was to understand the reasons for the limited number of pharmaceutical-initiated clinical studies in the Middle East region, by assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to pharmaceutical-initiated clinical trials among health-care professionals (HCPs) in UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Jordan. Methods: The study was conducted using an online questionnaire-based survey. The HCP respondents were from UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Jordan and had a good understanding of the English language. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the responses. Results: The HCPs were not inclined toward participation in clinical trials and research activities. The reasons for their limited participation included a lack of time, resources, and limited awareness about their legal protection associated with such studies, and the lack of necessary training and education related to clinical research. Conclusions: Although there is a willingness to participate in clinical trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies, HCPs face various ethical, administrative, and academic barriers. Addressing these issues would help increase the number of trials conducted in the Middle East region.
