This project occurred during the course of the Translating Research in Elder Care (TREC) program of research. TREC is a multilevel and longitudinal research program being conducted in the three Canadian Prairie Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The main purpose of TREC is to increase understanding about the role of organizational context in influencing knowledge use in residential long-term care settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate healthcare aides' (HCAs) perceptions of a one-page poster designed to feed back aggregated data (including demographic information and perceptions about influences on best practice) from the TREC survey they had recently completed.
A convenience sample of 7 of the 15 nursing homes participating in the TREC research program in Alberta were invited to participate. Specific facility-level summary data were provided to each facility in the form of a one-page poster report. Two weeks following delivery of the report, a convenience sample of HCAs was surveyed using one-to-one structured interviews.
One hundred twenty-three HCAs responded to the evaluation survey. Overall, HCAs' opinions about presentation of the feedback report and the understandability, usability, and usefulness of the content were positive. For each report, analysis of data and production and inspection of the report took up to one hour. Information sessions to introduce and explain the reports averaged 18 minutes. Two feedback reports (minimum) were supplied to each facility at a cost of CAN$2.39 per report, for printing and laminating.
This study highlights not only the feasibility of producing understandable, usable, and useful feedback reports of survey data but also the value and importance of providing feedback to survey respondents. More broadly, the findings suggest that modest strategies may have a positive and desirable effect in participating sites.
本项目是在“老年人护理研究翻译（TREC）”研究计划的过程中进行的。TREC 是一个多层次和纵向的研究计划，在加拿大草原三省艾伯塔省、萨斯喀彻温省和马尼托巴省进行。TREC 的主要目的是增加对组织背景影响知识在住宅长期护理环境中使用的作用的理解。本研究的目的是评估医疗保健助理（HCAs）对一张海报的看法，该海报旨在反馈他们最近完成的 TREC 调查的汇总数据（包括人口统计信息和对最佳实践影响的看法）。
邀请了参与艾伯塔省 TREC 研究计划的 15 家养老院中的 7 家参加这项研究。每个设施都以一页海报报告的形式提供特定的设施级汇总数据。在报告交付后的两周内，对 HCAs 进行了方便抽样调查，采用一对一的结构化访谈。
共有 123 名 HCAs 对评估调查做出了回应。总体而言，HCAs 对反馈报告的呈现方式以及内容的可理解性、可用性和有用性的意见是积极的。对于每份报告，数据分析以及报告的制作和检查最多需要一个小时。介绍和解释报告的信息会议平均需要 18 分钟。每份报告的成本为 2.39 加元，为每个设施提供了至少两份反馈报告，用于打印和层压。
本研究不仅突出了制作可理解、可用和有用的调查数据反馈报告的可行性，还强调了向调查受访者提供反馈的价值和重要性。更广泛地说，这些发现表明，适度的策略可能会对参与的站点产生积极和理想的影响。
