“…The immense value of the following ancient truth was also rediscovered: the importance of believing in the inherent value of all people (including patients) and respecting them for that. 1,6,7,[10][11][12][13] This is the very essence of the doctor-patient relationship (or any helping relationship). Any attempt to establish a helping relationship would be futile and hypocritical without this value as a fundamental truth.…”

“…Data collection in PAR is done by means of participant diaries, field notes, reflective diaries, minutes of meetings, recorded meetings, free attitude interviews, focus group interviews and survey questionnaires. 1,3,5,8,[13][14][15] Reliability of results is improved through honesty, transparency and openness of the researcher. 3,14,16 The skill of self-awareness and reflection is essential to be truly open and honest.…”

PAR is very applicable in primary care. The principles of PAR such as mutual collaboration, reciprocal respect, co-learning and acting on results from the enquiry are essential in the doctor-patient relationship. Self-awareness, the ability to self-critique and reflect in a deep manner using such tools as a reflective diary are essential for nurturing the development of effective primary health care workers and consequently care structures for the patients and their families.

Although only examined with a small sample, boundary spanning appears to be an essential function for public health managers (similar to their colleagues in the private sector). These findings present a rationale and an opportunity for public health leaders to set organizational conditions that foster the most positive type of boundary-spanning, ambassadorial behaviors, which, in turn, can improve group performance.

“…Instead, action-oriented partnerships involve 'real' people who are characterized as coparticipants or co-researchers. Research participants are not to be used as a means to an end; participatory and action researchers do not see people as passive subjects or objects to be manipulated (Reinharz, 1981;Schubert, 1996;Small, 1995). Since they are more accustomed to the environment than the researcher, participants are seen as possessing value in the form of knowledge-inpractice about how to define the problem and how to pinpoint solutions (Cunningham, 1976;Krimerman, 2001).…”

Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) were created with positivistic research designs in mind, making the review process unsuited for most research efforts characterized as action research (AR). With the possibility that more IRBs will be created and that the definition of research will be expanded, certain types of research that falls under the umbrella of AR will be scrutinized. Specifically, the difficulty is for action research characterized by focus group or participatory research settings. The issues examined by the IRB such as voluntary participation, confidentiality, and risk to the participant are debatable for action research and need to be negotiated or perhaps reconsidered. Unless these issues are resolved, researchers may be reluctant to use this model in the future and AR will be marginalized. Recommendations are made to guide future efforts.
