With increasing age the risk of institutionalization increases. To address the problem of underrepresentation of care homes and their residents in future research studies, we aimed to explore care home staff members' thoughts on barriers, challenges, facilitators and key aspects of engaging in research studies.
Five staff members from four care homes in Glasgow and Barcelona were interviewed. Transcription of the interviews was completed verbatim and an inductive thematic analysis was conducted to understand the difficulties and challenges they perceive for engaging in research studies.
Three themes emerged that encapsulated the staff members' perspectives. included two subthemes; encapsulated four subthemes; and highlighted three subthemes. Staff members showed interest in engaging in research studies if a clear management support accompanied by a whole team approach was evident. The involvement of the resident's relatives was seen as essential if residents were to be supported to be engaged.
Despite the small sample size, the perspectives of staff members, irrespective of country, provided valuable insights for informing researchers on best approaches to maximize care home and resident engagement in research.
随着年龄的增长，入住养老院的风险增加。为了解决未来研究中养老院及其居民代表性不足的问题，我们旨在探讨养老院工作人员对参与研究的障碍、挑战、促进因素和关键方面的看法。
对格拉斯哥和巴塞罗那四家养老院的五名工作人员进行了访谈。访谈内容逐字记录，并进行了归纳主题分析，以了解他们认为参与研究存在的困难和挑战。
出现了三个主题，概括了工作人员的观点。 包括两个子主题； 包含四个子主题； 突出了三个子主题。如果有明确的管理支持并采用全团队方法，工作人员表现出参与研究的兴趣。如果要支持居民参与，居民亲属的参与被视为至关重要。
尽管样本量较小，但无论来自哪个国家，工作人员的观点都为研究人员提供了宝贵的见解，有助于了解使养老院和居民最大限度参与研究的最佳方法。
