Older adults receiving long-term care are often excluded from the design, development, and implementation of health-related research. The project aimed to create, implement and evaluate a sustainable research advisory board consisting of researchers, clinicians, and older adults living at home or in a skilled nursing facility (SNF).
To initiate Bureau development, 15 older adults, researchers, and clinicians came together to engage in research. In meetings and retreats, stakeholders mutually developed group procedures, roles, and values. Process evaluation focused on stakeholder experiences, development of the Bureau, and its impact.
Trained Sages were able to offer meaningful input to researchers and present their own proposal at a conference. Lessons learned centered around continuously seeking feedback from participants, emphasizing co-learning, adapting to virtual engagement, and remaining flexible in structure and content of meetings.
Results can inform future development of research advisory boards of older adult populations.
接受长期护理的老年人通常被排除在健康相关研究的设计、开发和实施之外。本项目旨在创建、实施和评估一个由研究人员、临床医生和居住在家庭或熟练护理设施(SNF)中的老年人组成的可持续研究顾问委员会。
为了启动局的发展,15 名老年人、研究人员和临床医生聚集在一起参与研究。在会议和务虚会上,利益相关者共同制定了小组程序、角色和价值观。过程评估侧重于利益相关者的经验、局的发展及其影响。
经过培训的智者能够为研究人员提供有意义的投入,并在会议上提出自己的建议。经验教训主要集中在不断向参与者征求反馈意见、强调共同学习、适应虚拟参与以及灵活处理会议的结构和内容上。
研究结果可以为未来老年人研究顾问委员会的发展提供信息。
