abstract => protected'Introduction: Primary data collection in low-income and middle-income countr ies (LMICs) is associated with a range of ethical complexities. Consideratio ns on how to adequately ensure the well-being of research staff are largely neglected in contemporary ethics discourse. This systematic review aims to i dentify the ethical challenges that research staff across different hierarch ical levels and scientific disciplines face when conducting research in LMIC s.
Methods: We searched 13 electronic databases and handsearched publication s in six selected journals as well as the reference lists of all included st udies. No restrictions were applied with respect to the publication date, re search design, and target population.
Results: 23 151 studies were retrieved , 183 of which met our inclusion criteria. We identified nine different type s of ethical challenges that research staff may be exposed to during field r esearch, including (1) role conflicts that can emerge from participants’ h elp requests and the high level of deprivation found in certain study settin gs, (2) feelings of guilt and (3) detrimental mental health impacts. Further challenges were (4) sexual harassment (5) safety risks and (6) political re pression, particularly in postconflict, disaster-ridden or autocratic study contexts. Additionally, studies reported (7) inadequate working conditions a nd (8) power imbalances within research teams, while (9) ethics boards were found to be ill equipped to anticipate and address emerging risks, thus incr easing the ethical liability
of researchers.
Conclusion: This review reveal ed several complex ethical challenges that research staff may face during da
