| Annotation | The health care field is a new arena for collaborative research carried out by practitioner-researcher teams. Although recent literature discusses factors supportive of such teams, most evidence is anecdotal or describes pilot projects. In this article, the authors use Canadian survey and interview data to document health care practitioners' views on collaborative research with an experienced researcher/mentor. They describe the research project and process, positive and negative aspects of doing research, and desirable characteristics for collaborative research team practitioners and researchers. Of all attributes mentioned, personal traits and skills were most frequently mentioned, followed by research knowledge and attitudes for practitioners, and teaching skills for researchers. Also discussed are the factors important to the success of collaborative research: how to develop a project, characteristics of team members, team functioning, and institutional support. (RH). |
