Interagency collaborative research projects: Illustrating potential problems, and finding solutions in the nursing literature

Abstract: Collaborative research activities are increasingly being used across health-care settings and are viewed as a positive way to achieve mutual outcomes. However, interagency or intersectoral research programmes are not without problems. They are, at best, challenging and complex activities that require enormous commitment of resources, expertise and insight from all stakeholders. This paper uses the example of an actual collaborative research project to illustrate factors that can impair collaboration and in tur… Show more

“…Although culture is frequently cited as an important factor within the process of partnership working, there is little consideration of what form precisely this factor takes (see, e.g., Hensing et al, 1997;Hultberg et al, 2002). Moreover, within these studies, culture tends to appear as somewhat of an afterthought: that is, post hoc, culture is suggested as the reason why the partnership was not as effective or did not conclude in the anticipated results (see, e.g., Timpka et al, 1995;McCloughen and O'Brien, 2006). In other words after the event, the neglect of cultural factors is recognised as having played a potentially detrimental role in the effectiveness of the partnership.…”

“…It should be noted that although being a valuable educational endeavor, faculty-student collaboration, due to power relations (Miller 1992), is not free from problems (McCloughen and O'Brien 2006). Reflecting on the project, the authors suggest that in order to reduce confusion, frustration, and pressure that a teacher candidate might feel when collaborating with faculty members, all expectations have to be discussed at the beginning of collaboration.…”
