The COVID-19 pandemic, and ensuing physical distancing measures, poses challenges for researchers in the field of interprofessional care. Pandemic management has highlighted the centrality of interprofessional working to effective healthcare delivery during crises. It is essential to find ways to maintain interprofessional research that has commenced, while also designing research to capture important learning from pandemic management and response. However, it also creates opportunities for new research projects and novel research designs. This discussion paper explores ways of adapting existing research methodologies and outlines potential avenues for new research. Specifically, considerations to bear in mind when designing interprofessional research during the pandemic include research ethics and integrity, research design, data collection methods, research opportunities, implications and limitations. Interprofessional research can continue to make a valuable contribution in informing global responses to COVID-19 and in planning for future global health crises. We call for, insofar as possible, for interprofessional research to continue to be developed during this time.
COVID-19 大流行以及随之而来的身体距离措施，给跨专业护理领域的研究人员带来了挑战。大流行管理凸显了在危机期间进行有效的医疗保健服务中跨专业工作的核心地位。必须找到方法来维持已经开始的跨专业研究，同时设计研究以从大流行管理和应对中汲取重要经验。但是，它也为新的研究项目和新颖的研究设计创造了机会。本文探讨了适应现有研究方法的方法，并概述了新研究的潜在途径。具体而言，在大流行期间设计跨专业研究时需要考虑的因素包括研究伦理和诚信、研究设计、数据收集方法、研究机会、影响和局限性。跨专业研究可以继续为全球应对 COVID-19 做出有价值的贡献，并为未来的全球卫生危机做好规划。我们呼吁尽可能在这段时间内继续开展跨专业研究。
