To undertake a critical review describing key strategies supporting development of participatory research (PR) teams to engage partners for creation and translation of action-oriented knowledge.
Sources are four leading PR practitioners identified via bibliometric analysis. Authors' publications were identified in January 1995-October 2009 in PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Science and CAB databases, and books. Works were limited to those with a process description describing a research project and practitioners were first, second, third, or last author.
Adapting and applying the "Reliability Tested Guidelines for Assessing Participatory Research Projects" to retained records identified five key strategies: developing advisory committees of researchers and intended research users; developing research agreements; using formal and informal group facilitation techniques; hiring co-researchers/partners from community; and ensuring frequent communication. Other less frequently mentioned strategies were also identified.
This review is the first time these guidelines were used to identify key strategies supporting PR projects. They proved effective at identifying and evaluating engagement strategies as reported by completed research projects. Adapting these guidelines identified gaps where the tool was unable to assess fundamental PR elements of power dynamics, equity of resources, and member turnover. Our resulting template serves as a new tool to measure partnerships.
进行一项批判性综述，描述支持参与式研究（PR）团队发展的关键策略，以促使合作伙伴参与面向行动的知识的创造和转化。
通过文献计量分析确定了四位主要的PR从业者作为资料来源。作者在1995年1月至2009年10月期间发表在PubMed、Embase、ISI科学网和CAB数据库以及书籍中的文献被识别出来。作品仅限于那些带有描述研究项目过程的文献，且从业者为第一、第二、第三或最后作者。
将“参与式研究项目评估的可靠性测试指南”应用于留存记录，确定了五项关键策略：组建由研究人员和预期研究用户组成的咨询委员会；制定研究协议；使用正式和非正式的小组促进技巧；从社区雇佣共同研究人员/合作伙伴；以及确保频繁沟通。还识别出了其他较少被提及的策略。
本次综述首次使用这些指南来确定支持PR项目的关键策略。它们在识别和评估已完成研究项目报告的参与策略方面证明是有效的。应用这些指南发现了该工具无法评估权力动态、资源公平性和成员更替等PR基本要素的差距。我们得出的模板可作为衡量伙伴关系的新工具。
