To present the methodological approach and research methods chosen in a research study designed to enable the collaborative creation of an education and training e-resource designed to facilitate and support care home staff to address the sexuality, intimacy and relationship needs of older care home residents.
Co-production using community-based participatory approach.
Four participatory workshops with care home staff, residents and their significant others.
Workshops 1 and 2 identified and developed real-world case scenarios related to sexuality, intimacy and relationship needs and identified care staff training needs in this area. Then workshop 3 provided valuable feedback on the prototype training e-resource, and the final workshop identified care home staff engagement with and implementation of the e-resource in practice.
The findings provide evidence that using participatory approaches, such as co-production, to develop education and training resources in a sensitive subject area with care home residents, significant others, carers and care home staff, was a useful approach in engaging a vulnerable population group, in a sensitive area. However, this approach is not without challenges in care home communities.
介绍一项研究中所采用的方法和研究手段，该研究旨在通过合作创建一个教育和培训电子资源，以促进和支持养老院工作人员满足老年养老院居民的性、亲密关系及情感需求。
采用基于社区参与式方法的共同生产模式。
与养老院工作人员、居民及其重要他人举办了四次参与式工作坊。
工作坊1和工作坊2确定并开发了与性、亲密关系及情感需求相关的真实案例场景，并明确了该领域护理人员的培训需求。随后，工作坊3对电子培训资源原型提供了有价值的反馈，而最后一个工作坊确定了养老院工作人员在实践中对该电子资源的参与和实施情况。
研究结果表明，采用诸如共同生产等参与式方法，与养老院居民、重要他人、护理人员及养老院工作人员在敏感主题领域开发教育和培训资源，是让弱势群体参与敏感领域的一种有效方法。然而，这种方法在养老院社区并非没有挑战。
