| description | Building research capacity in nursing services has been recognized
internationally as important in order to produce a sound evidence for
decision–making in policy. Prince of Songkla University has adopted the
direction of development which is consistent with its vision of being a
leading university in the Asian region with the obligations of producing
research. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes (the number of
research reports and nurses' satisfaction) of building nursing research
capacity with the Prince of Songkla University Model.
Methods This participatory action research was a part of study on the outcomes of
building nursing research capacity with the Prince of Songkla University
Model. One hundred participants (n = 100) were recruited on a voluntary
basis during the years 2004–2009. Six participatory development steps were
carried out. Data were collected through recording research report
presentations, a questionnaire, and satisfaction interviews. Quantitative data
were analyzed with descriptive statistics.
Results It was found that 61% (n = 61) of the Thai nurses were able to present their
research reports at international conferences in three countries, namely the
Republic of Korea (three times, or 50.82%), Japan (44.26%) and Indonesia
(4.92%). The majority of the presentations (72.13%) were in the form of
poster presentations; most of the research designs (45.90%) were descriptive
studies, followed by quasi-experimental research (27.87%); and most of the
research topics (22.95%) were on adult nursing, followed by nursing
administration and management (18.03%), and nursing education (16.38%).
The participants' satisfaction was: 85% at a high level, and 15% at a moderate
level.
Conclusions As academic and service partners move forward to design and implement
changes to prepare the next generation of building nursing research capacity
for the realities of a changing health care delivery, both process from PSU
Model and outcomes evaluations must be incorporated in planning. The key
point is that measurement is essential to determine the short –and long-term
effectiveness and the efficiency of this model. |
