This study explores embedded researcher's age, qualifications, research environment and experience in healthcare and academic organisations in Australia and makes comparisons across three core professional disciplines of nursing and midwifery, medicine and allied health.
The embedded researcher model, where a researcher is embedded as a core member of the clinical team, offers promise to support the implementation of research evidence into practice. Currently, there is a lack of clarity about how the model has been adopted across the three largest professional disciplines in Australian health care.
A cross-sectional survey was designed and reported, using the STROBE Statement.
A purposive sample of embedded researchers was invited to participate in an exploratory online survey. Embedded researchers worked, or had worked, for a minimum of 30% of their time, in a healthcare organisation doing research or building research capacity. Participant responses were extracted from the survey and imported into SPSS for analysis.
Perspectives of 100 Australian embedded researchers were compared across nursing and midwifery (36%, n = 37), allied health (35%, n = 36) and medicine (26%, n = 27). Professional differences are reported in respondents' qualifications and experience, employment conditions and their research cultures and environments. Comparatively, most nursing and midwifery embedded researchers were older, more clinically experienced than allied health respondents, who were more research qualified. Medical-embedded researchers are typically older, more clinically experienced and focussed on producing personally relevant clinical research. Nursing and midwifery embedded researchers reported doing clinical research within their teams, as well as research capacity building, management and clinical practice roles.
Embedded researchers describe different career trajectories across the three largest professional disciplines in Australian health care.
Embedded researchers from different professional disciplines enact their work differently. It appears that when they engage in research capacity building via a range of management and networking roles, embedded researchers contribute to their organisation's research culture and receive greater recognition for their achievements.
本研究探讨了澳大利亚的嵌入式研究人员的年龄、资质、研究环境和医疗保健及学术组织经验，并对护理和助产、医学和联合健康这三个核心专业学科进行了比较。
嵌入式研究人员模式，即将研究人员作为临床团队的核心成员嵌入其中，有望支持将研究证据应用于实践。目前，对于该模式在澳大利亚医疗保健领域三个最大的专业学科中的应用情况尚不清楚。
采用 STROBE 声明设计并报告了一项横断面调查。
邀请了从事至少 30%时间的医疗保健组织研究或建立研究能力的嵌入式研究人员参与一项探索性在线调查。参与者的回复从调查中提取出来并导入到 SPSS 进行分析。
对来自护理和助产（36%，n=37）、联合健康（35%，n=36）和医学（26%，n=27）的 100 名澳大利亚嵌入式研究人员的观点进行了比较。报告了受访者的资格和经验、就业条件以及他们的研究文化和环境方面的专业差异。相比之下，大多数护理和助产嵌入式研究人员年龄较大，比联合健康受访者更有临床经验，而联合健康受访者更有研究资格。医学嵌入式研究人员通常年龄较大，更有临床经验，专注于产生个人相关的临床研究。护理和助产嵌入式研究人员报告在他们的团队中进行临床研究，以及研究能力建设、管理和临床实践角色。
嵌入式研究人员在澳大利亚医疗保健领域的三个最大专业学科中描述了不同的职业轨迹。
来自不同专业学科的嵌入式研究人员以不同的方式开展工作。似乎当他们通过一系列管理和网络角色进行研究能力建设时，嵌入式研究人员为他们组织的研究文化做出了贡献，并因其成就获得了更多认可。
