“…Examples of research capacity development done within professional groups in healthcare are numerous. These professional groups include physiotherapists (Janssen et al 2013), epidemiologists (Dodani et al 2012), clinical educators (Ahmed et al 2016), nurses and midwives (Begley et al 2014;Moore, Crozier, and Kite 2012;Sheehan et al 2015), mental health practitioners (Pilowsky et al 2016) public health practitioners (Hulcombe et al 2014;Rusen et al 2015), and medical practitioners (Bhardwaj et al 2013;Ewigman et al 2016). The motivation for engaging in such programmes varies from aiming to promote research in apparent under-researched areas in the field to much broader motives such as increasing research output for professional recognition purposes.…”

Research capacity development is essential for quality and cost-effective healthcare, and well-prepared healthcare professionals. This case study used an exploratory design to gain insight into the contributions that a novice researcher programme makes towards research capacity development. Data were collected from reports to the board of a professional organisation acting as custodian of the project and three reflection workshops. The case was deductively analysed using the literature on research capacity development as the point of departure. The Cooke integrated framework for research capacity building in healthcare was used to evaluate the development that took place. The findings of the analysis are described and discussed according to the eight dimensions of the Cooke integrated framework indicating that this novice programme fulfilled all the dimensions of the framework.

“…Omenjeni rezultati sovpadajo z rezultati nekaterih tujih raziskav (McNiff in Whitehead, 2002;Tuden idr., 2013;Reason in Bradbury, 2001;Moore, Crozier in Kite, 2012;Smith idr., 2008;Janssen, Hale, MirfinVeitch in Harland, 2013;Nixon, Young, Sellick in Wright, 2013), ki so prav tako po kazali, da je za učinkovito raziskovalno delo poleg osebne pripravljenosti ključna tudi uspo sobljenost za raziskovanje, za katero bi bilo treba skrbeti že v procesu izobraževanja. V zvezi z navedenim McNiff in Whitehead (2002) poudarjata še pomen učinka organizacije dela in delovne klime ustanove, v kateri je zaposlena posamezna babica oziroma medicinska sestra.…”

The present paper aims to review the value of Action Research (AR) in the evolution of sustainable mHealth. On the one hand, mHealth is a medically and economically massively expanding domain. On the other hand, the mHealth development suffers from a serious lack of sustainability, which has become particularly evident through the concept of ''pilotitis.'' The proposed methodological remedy shows a high congruence to the principle of AR. A quantitative and qualitative literature research is performed. Each result from the qualitative literature research is analyzed with regard to aim, main focuses of AR methodology, study results and AR contribution to mHealth development. The principles of AR with regard to mHealth development are described, showing a strong connection between corresponding methodology and effects in health care. We analyze the quantitative contribution of AR to health care in general and show the typical phases of AR healthcare implementation. Furthermore, a quantitative literature research reveals that AR contributes to 6 % of mHealth publications. Our qualitative literature research discovers 27 studies dealing with AR contributions (54 % direct, 46 % methodological) to mHealth. Main subjects of the direct contributions are Health Information Systems (38 %), Surgery (23 %), Conservative/internal medicine (15 %), Self-help (15 %) and Medical Education (8 %). In summary, our review shows that AR contributes qualitatively and quantitatively to the mHealth development and that AR has a special potential to generate sustainable mHealth solutions.

Building the Research Capacity of Clinical Physical Therapists Using a Participatory Action Research Approach

Abstract: Fourteen physical therapists divided among 3 PAR groups were overall positive about their experiences when they conducted a research project together. This finding shows that a PAR approach can be used as a novel tool to stimulate research participation in clinics.
