| Annotation | The Aldre Vast Sjuhärad Centre is a research centre in west Sweden, which has as its main goal the promotion of partnerships between older people and their families, service providers and researchers. In pursuing these goals, the Centre adopts a broadly constructivist approach to undertaking research that is 'authentic' and meaningful to those who take part. In order to make judgements about the quality of its activity, the Centre has adopted the authenticity criteria originally suggested by E G Guba and Y S Lincoln (1989), so that they are more readily understood by older people, carers and service providers. These criteria can be applied at all stages of research activity, and can be utilised more widely, in order to make inferences about the effects of partnership working in other contexts. (RH). |
