Thinking Ecologically for Safer Healthcare: A Summer Research Student Partnership

Abstract: As leaders for nursing education, nursing research, healthcare administration and patient safety, we asked one another: How do we use our collective resources to build health system capacity for clinically based research training and safer healthcare? Drawing on knowledge from the field of ecological restoration, which is the study and repair of damaged ecosystems, we partnered the Safer Systems research program of the Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta, with Capital Health's Royal Alexandra Hospital (R… Show more

“…This is consistent with the growing literature base that posits that the engagement of nurses in research generates clinically relevant knowledge that both advances nursing practice 22 and enhances patient care. 9,13,14 The other key finding around the pivotal role of the supportive network identified by the Nursing RAP participants adds to a smaller body of literature on research capacity strategies in patient safety. 14,15 Within this network, study participants described gaining an appreciation for the iterative, stepwise nature of the research process (proposal development, proposal refinement, ethics approval, study implementation, and data analysis).…”

“…9,13,14 The other key finding around the pivotal role of the supportive network identified by the Nursing RAP participants adds to a smaller body of literature on research capacity strategies in patient safety. 14,15 Within this network, study participants described gaining an appreciation for the iterative, stepwise nature of the research process (proposal development, proposal refinement, ethics approval, study implementation, and data analysis). This theme is illustrated in the following narrative: "I didn't feel alone during the whole RAP program.…”

“…In this study, research teams were led by nurses who applied knowledge of health sciences, health ethics, and ecological restoration to study and strengthen organizational ethics and safety practices in current health care environments, involving students, teachers, health policies, and services across the country and beyond it. 25 Ecological thinking encourages the ability to think, and eco-efficiency is achieved when researchers involve students, policy makers and community members in integrated cycles of research, practice and adaptive learning. 25 Hence, the nursing efforts to prevent and find ecosystem-related problems are important.…”

These actions can define priorities and strategies for health management.…”
