IPR.Global Members Provide Online Workshop on Mixed-Methods Research Design and Collaborative IPECP Scholarship

The Network: Towards Unity for Health Online Community (TUFH) Workshop 

Using Mixed-Methods Research Methodology to Design and Evaluate Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) Initiatives

Date: December 8, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM UTC

Venue: Zoom - Free of Charge

Registration Link: https://tufh.org/events/99452/registration 

Description:

Despite improvements in the quantity and quality of evaluative research on interprofessional education, and collaborative practice and care (IPECP), there is still much to be achieved. The research agenda for IPECP should elevate the process of enquiry by focusing on examining and determining the impact of IPECP on service users. The rigorous assessment and evaluation of IPECP initiatives are essential to advancing the discipline. Mixed-methods research can assist IPECP researchers/scholars in producing comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evidence that uncovers multiple perspectives of both paradigms to determine the impact of IPECP on safe high-quality care; understanding the complexity of health care costs; determining ‘collaborative practice-readiness of health and social care professionals; and ultimately improving population and public health. Intended Outcomes: This workshop aims to connect current investigators who wish to understand IPECP and generate new knowledge in this area, using a mixed methodological approach. Participants will be introduced to the principles and key decisions necessary for rigorous mixed-methods research, and how it can be applied by practitioners, educators and health administrators to evaluate IPECP.

Outcomes for Participants:

At the end of  the Workshop participants will be able to:

  • Understand the value and impact of mixed methods approaches to IPECP assessment, evaluation, and research.
  • Contrast principles and decision-making processes in rigorous mixed-methods IPECP research.
  • Apply learnings to participant’s context of practice, education, and research agenda using group knowledge co-creation and integration.

Agenda:

  1. Round table introductions and sharing experience and one personal goal of the workshop
  2. Quick review of research in IPECP
  3. Overview of commonly used mixed-method research methodology (and their common designs) in IPECP
  4. Small Group Activity - Research knowledge integration: applying mixed-method research methodology in real case scenarios
  5. Report out and next steps
  6. Wrap Up

CAIPE Research Group Publishes a Research Guide for Students and Early Career Researchers


Top Tips for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Research: A Guide for Students and Early Career Researchers
By: Dr. Veronica O'Carroll (CAIPE and University of St Andrews)

Members of the Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) research group have written this guide to aid students and early career researchers embarking on their first research journey and new to IPE/ICP research. The CAIPE research group includes research students, service users, researchers with varied experiences, and educators and practitioners from different professions and countries. The guide aims to raise awareness of academic resources and share practical advice from those who have previously experienced problems when undertaking interprofessional research in education or health and social care practice.
