Many institutions seek to engage postsecondary students in research to grow future researchers. Despite this common goal, the means to achieve that end is often unknown creating difficulties for students as they seek out research opportunities.
This article will share first-hand reports on the experiences of graduate students, undergraduate students, and family partners following their engagement as an interdisciplinary research team.
This is a qualitative study using individual open-ended interviews with undergraduate students, graduate students, and patient family partners. The research was conducted using a Patient-Oriented Research approach. The transcripts were analyzed inductively by using Braun and Clarke's six phases of reflexive thematic analysis.
Two themes were developed from the analysis. The theme of was developed based on the many positive thoughts, feelings, resiliency, and learning expressed by the students and family partners. The undergraduate students found the experience of "doing" research fulfilling and a great tool for learning how to better use research in practice. Within the second theme , undergraduate students described themselves as helpers, not responsible, and they did not have the power to make decisions.
Given the challenges identified in this study, future efforts in this approach should carefully consider the culture and how to best engage graduate students, undergraduate students, and family partners in research teams.
许多机构试图让高等院校学生参与研究，以培养未来的研究人员。尽管有这一共同目标，但实现这一目标的方法往往并不明确，这给学生寻找研究机会带来了困难。
本文将分享研究生、本科生和家庭合作伙伴作为跨学科研究团队参与研究后的第一手经验报告。
这是一项定性研究，采用对本科生、研究生和患者家庭合作伙伴进行开放式个人访谈的方式。该研究采用以患者为导向的研究方法。通过使用布劳恩和克拉克的反思性主题分析的六个阶段对访谈记录进行归纳分析。
分析得出了两个主题。第一个主题是基于学生和家庭合作伙伴表达的许多积极想法、感受、适应能力和学习情况而形成的。本科生发现“进行”研究的经历很有成就感，是学习如何在实践中更好地运用研究的一个很好的工具。在第二个主题中，本科生将自己描述为助手，没有责任，也没有决策权。
鉴于本研究中发现的挑战，未来采用这种方法的努力应仔细考虑文化因素以及如何最好地让研究生、本科生和家庭合作伙伴参与研究团队。
