A cross-cultural team consisting of US trained academic midwife researchers, Dominican nurses, and Dominican community leaders have partnered in this international nursing and midwifery community-based participatory research (CBPR) project in the Dominican Republic to understand the community experience with publicly funded maternity services. The purpose of the study was to understand community perceptions of maternity services. This article highlights the activities that the research team carried out during each phase of the research process, and how they established team identity, team trust, and team efficacy. This research has created a platform for new avenues for health providers and community to partner to improve maternal-newborn care. Community-based participatory research is one way forward to address the past and present inequities constitutive of global health disparities.
一个由美国培训的学术助产研究员、多米尼加护士和多米尼加社区领袖组成的跨文化团队在多米尼加共和国合作开展了这项国际护理和助产社区参与式研究（CBPR）项目，以了解社区对公共资助的产妇服务的体验。该研究的目的是了解社区对产妇服务的看法。本文重点介绍了研究团队在研究过程的每个阶段所开展的活动，以及他们如何建立团队身份、团队信任和团队效能。这项研究为卫生提供者和社区建立伙伴关系以改善母婴保健开辟了新途径。社区参与式研究是解决全球卫生差异中过去和现在构成的不平等现象的一种方法。
