Impact of Integrating Community-Based Participatory Research Into a Baccalaureate Nursing Curriculum

Abstract

Integrating CBPR into a nursing curriculum is an innovation that is worthy of further assessment.

“Our riches are our family”, the changing family dynamics & social capital for new migrant families in Australia

“…FGDs were based on the principles of Participatory Action Research frameworks [29] and have proven useful to understand various emerging issues with new migrants and changing family dynamics after migration [2, 3]. FGDs centred around involving local migrant community members and representatives in research, knowledge exchange and planning to account for community partnership, shared power, building community capacity, and social change [30, 31].…”

Design and Evaluation of an Interdisciplinary Health Disparities Research Curriculum

“…We consider HDRC to be an addition to (not a substitute for) existing training. Based on published reports, most existing training addresses cultural competence in clinical care 6,7 , community engagement in research 11,12,16 , or disparities research addressing a single clinical area 8–10 . Each of these approaches is potentially valuable in the ultimate elimination of health disparities; in addition, we believe that another potentially valuable approach is comprehensive training in HDR.…”

“…Many medical schools and healthcare institutions are implementing curricula in cultural competence and community engagement. 6,7 However, there are only a few programs offering research training for addressing disparities, and those that exist tend to focus on a single clinical area, such as cardiovascular disease 8 , cancer 9,10 , or methodology (e.g., community-based participatory research) 11,12 . Although we suspect that not all efforts are published, it appears that there is limited framework and data supporting the feasibility and impact of a general disparities research curriculum.…”

A Qualitative Exploration of Post-Migration Family Dynamics and Intergenerational Relationships

“…A participatory action research (PAR) framework (Chevalier & Buckles, 2013) was used to engage migrants in community-based consultative focus groups. This approach involved the integration of representatives from each migrant community in every stage of the research process (Maiter, Simich, Jacobson, & Wise, 2008;Zandee et al, 2015). The project, therefore, employed qualitative methods (specifically, focus groups) so that the migrants' lived experiences and voices were central to the development of the research and data collection (Elo et al, 2014).…”
