Role of Collaboration in Public Research
Article 1 “Community Perspectives on Factors That Influence Collaboration in Public Health Research” (2009) is a study that evaluates the factors that impact collaboration in public health research, from the perspective of community-based organizations (CBOs) (Pinto, 2009). This articles attempts to provide a starting point for research on the benefits of community based participation in public health research, as well as what influences community’s and/or their organizations to participate in public health research (Pinto,2009). Pinto (2009) suggests that this research is needed to eliminate potential barriers that are interfering with necessary collaboration from communities

The appropriate institutional review boards approved this study; and Pinto (2009) supervised all portions of the analysis process (Pinto, 2009). The method of analysis was categorized into the following sections: recruitment, interview procedures, interview protocol, analytic strategy (Pinto, 2009).
Pinto (2009) identified several factors that influenced collaboration in different domains. These factors included: expertise, need to improve services, resolving social issues, and cultural and social disconnect; the domains included researchers’ characteristics, and community partner-researcher relationships (Pinto, 2009). This study may be considered valid and reliable, when used for further research; because it may be considered one of the first sufficient studies to examine this topic.
Incorporating these research findings in research leadership practices may be useful in a public health or medical setting. These settings would benefit because the study’s sample size was produced from a health based organization, which was used to evaluate factors that affect collaboration within it. When attempting to enact leadership practices, being aware of what factors may influence them would be beneficial, especially in public health or medical
In reference to the analysis process the author states that the interview were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Moreover, the investigator validated the data through multiple interviews and evaluated it for stability, consistency and dependability. For the detailed analysis the author used content analysis and constant comparative techniques. In addition to that a committee of experts performed an external audit to resolve the differences in the analysis process.
Future Research Implications: To make this study stronger, researchers should include more detail pertaining to the recruitment for the participants in the study.
The framework suggested by Walker and Avant was used for the analysis described in this research. The method of research included:
Therefore my preference is to work from a leadership team format that allots voice to the variety of dedicated professionals and utilizes their strengths to achieve the organization’s goals. In the healthcare setting, leadership is perceived as the policy developers that work alongside the providers and other professional staff members to promote and enforce those policies. The facilities and the staff are seen as the specialized professionals charged with advising upon and carrying out the policies through the development of research based strategies that meet the needs of agreed upon policy directives. Servant leadership or distributed leadership of this type requires one to recognize the strengths’ in their colleagues during the decision-making process and support their development in areas that they may feel less than
Collective leadership has a distinctive advantage over other approaches to leadership. If it is done in the right way, it will ensure that the healthcare organization is highly adaptable to changes, quick in its procedures, and innovative (West et al., 2014). It also implies that all the members of the organization possess a greater awareness of the mission to deliver high quality and compassionate care and the need for collaboration to achieve the mission. Consequently, the healthcare organizations are likely to witness improvements in clinical efficiency, patient safety, patient outcomes, patient and staff satisfaction, turnover, absenteeism, the capacity to change, and financial performance among the
In the method section, Rapp and Chao (2000) present participants and interview procedures, measurement, and statistical procedures. Notably, the researchers did not explicitly explain their study design. No information about the design and the duration of the research project was noted.
Interprofessional collaboration is key to achieving success across education, leadership and practice, and to supporting quality and innovative health care practices and delivery across diverse populations. As the delivery of care becomes more complex, and the need to coordinate care among physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and others becomes ever more important, the development of a well-functioning team becomes a critical objective throughout the health care organization. Leading a change initiative is one of the most difficult tasks a leader can face. It has risks and opportunities and for most leaders, managing a change initiative is a crucial role, but the responsibilities can widely vary
This study has spread, measured, and has been tested on clinical teams as well. In short, it brought insight to the fact that physicians who work in groups that develop high performing teams enhance capability rather than rewarding individual physicians and rewarding an individual superstar. Practices in which valued teamwork more than individual performance is said to be over three times more capable and five times more willing to go above and beyond in their jobs and stay with their organizations. Furthermore, the study had showed that strong leaders are far more capable in motivating and cultivating capable physicians. To conclude, investing in personal leadership skills and nurturing/developing strong leadership at all levels should be implemented for the health care
The author will discuss the three components of scientific merit. Those components are advancing the knowledge base of a subject, contributing to a theory, and analyzing the hallmarks of good research (Capella University, 2017a). First, the paper will identify information that has advanced the knowledge base within the community and health care field. The next section will illustrate the theory of change that is presented and how it affects the human services field. Then, the paper will focus on the hallmarks of good research by analyzing the methodology and research methods that were used to address the research problem. Lastly, the paper will review the validity and reliability of this study and the strategies used to address any ethical concerns presented in the research study design.
Those involved in the health care system—nurses, physicians, patients, and others—play increasingly interdependent roles. Leaders who merely give directions and expect them to be followed will not succeed in this environment. What is needed is a style of leadership that involves working with others as full partners in a context of mutual respect and collaboration (A Pearson, H Laschinger, K Porritt, Z Jordan, D Tucker and L Long [International Journal of Evidence-Based health Care], 2007, p. 224).
I agree with the effectiveness incorporated with the integration of community members and researchers. The equality involved with researcher and community member collaboration assist with the building of trust, resulting in strengthened research efforts. Vast efforts in regards to training researchers on how to properly interact with communities of varying demographics are needed to emplace trust within partnerships. Thus, such knowledge on the principles of social health determinants, hidden biases, and cultural humility is essential when addressing health-focused solutions. Therefore, the CBPR model must do an effective job of training researchers on the various components involved in working with minority communities to
Additionally, it allows communication, establish partnerships and create networks between the researcher, enabling the flow of essential information and such teamwork is valuable for new approaches and resources for change. Subsequently, to have values in changing the health care system for the seniors, it is imperative to work with policy-makers, health administrators, private and government health organization, public health officials, the community in which the research is being conducted and other entities, for the reason that it is only through collaborative practice that can instigate a change in practices that transpires and gets
An example of a successful collaborative leadership experience is when I volunteered and then worked as a evaluation research assistant for a physical activity health study. While the project manager was the leader in the office, while working in the field with the study participants, there was a shared leadership responsibility between me and the other evaluation research assistant. Openness, respect and honesty were always present in the office and in the field between the leaders, employees, volunteers, and study participants. Consistency was especially encouraged to always get the more accurate values for the study from the measurements done on participants; this was encouraged by the project manager at the office, and by the research
The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
Community involvement through multidisciplinary levels is a sprouting concept in the health care, for example, for improving health care services. Practitioners value community inclusion, as the right for “democratic” cultures. For that purpose, they collaborate with the community in decision making regarding health related concerns (Lasker & Weiss, 2003 p. 14). The health care practitioners work hard for
