This paper describes a workshop process conducted to guide funding priorities for the Ageing Well National Science Challenge in New Zealand (NZ).
Based on the Checklist for Health Research Priority Setting, stakeholders networking workshops were conducted in five main cities in NZ (n = 133 attendees). Each workshop involved an introductory presentation; small group work exploring the a priori areas of: mind health, social well-being, health services and age-friendly environments; capturing key ideas on flip charts; feedback; and discussion of documented content.
Suggested strategies to address these issues incorporated reduction in segregated "villages," delivery of integrated care and provision of age-friendly transport. Proposed examples of monitoring impact included increased tertiary participation by older people and presence of more housing options.
Actively engaging older adults and community stakeholders in setting research priorities provided a unique opportunity to understand the key areas older adults think important for future research.
本文描述了一个研讨会过程,该过程旨在指导新西兰“健康老龄化国家科学挑战”的资金优先事项。
基于《健康研究优先事项设定清单》,在新西兰的五个主要城市举办了利益相关者网络研讨会(n = 133名参与者)。每个研讨会都包括一个介绍性演讲;小组讨论,探讨心理健康、社会福祉、卫生服务和对老年人友好的环境等先验领域;在活动挂图上记录关键想法;反馈;以及对记录内容的讨论。
针对这些问题提出的策略包括减少隔离的“村庄”、提供综合护理以及提供对老年人友好的交通。提议的监测影响的例子包括老年人高等教育参与度的提高和更多住房选择的出现。
让老年人和社区利益相关者积极参与确定研究优先事项,为了解老年人认为对未来研究重要的关键领域提供了一个独特的机会。
