Abstract

Background: Primary care research is at a crossroad in South Pacific. A steering committee comprising a member of WONCA Asia Pacific Regional (APR) council and the President of Fiji College of General Practitioners garnered sponsorship from Fiji Ministry of Health, WONCA APR and pharmaceutical agencies to organize the event in October 2013. This paper describes the processes needed to set up a national primary research agenda through the collaborative efforts of local stakeholders and external facilitators using a test case in South Pacific.

Method: The setting was a 2-day primary care research workshop in Fiji. The steering committee invited a team of three external facilitators from the Asia-Pacific region to organize and operationalize the workshop. The eventual participants were 3 external facilitators, 6 local facilitators, and 29 local primary care physicians, academics, and local medical leaders from Fiji and South Pacific Islands. Pre-workshop and main workshop programs were drawn up by the external facilitators, using participants' input of research topics relating to their local clinical issues of interest. Course notes were prepared and distributed before the workshop. In the workshop, proposed research topics were shortlisted by group discussion and consensus. Study designs were proposed, scrutinized, and adopted for further research development.

Results: The facilitators reviewed the processes in setting the research agenda after the workshop and conceived the proposed 6E model. These processes can be grouped for easy reference, comprising the pre-workshop stages of "entreat", "enlist", "engage", and the workshop stages of "educe", "empower", and "encapsulate".

Conclusion: The 6E model to establish a research agenda is conceptually logical. Its feasibility can be further tested in its application in other situation where research agenda setting is the critical step to improve the quality of primary care.

通过合作制定初级保健研究议程——提出“6E”模式。
背景:南太平洋地区的初级保健研究正处于十字路口。由WONCA亚太地区理事会成员和斐济全科医生学院院长组成的指导委员会获得了斐济卫生部、WONCA亚太地区理事会和制药机构的赞助,于2013年10月组织了这次活动。本文描述了利用南太平洋的一个测试案例,通过当地利益相关者和外部促进者的合作努力,建立国家主要研究议程所需的过程。方法:以斐济一个为期2天的初级保健研究研讨会为背景。指导委员会邀请了一个由三名来自亚太区域的外部协调员组成的小组来组织和开展讲习班。最终的参与者是来自斐济和南太平洋岛屿的3名外部促进者、6名当地促进者和29名当地初级保健医生、学者和当地医疗领导。研讨会前和主要研讨会计划由外部辅导员制定,利用参与者对当地临床问题感兴趣的研究课题的输入。课程讲稿是在讲习班之前编写和分发的。在研讨会上,提出的研究课题通过小组讨论和协商一致的方式入围。研究设计被提出,仔细审查,并被采用以进一步研究发展。结果:工作坊结束后,主持人回顾了研究议程的设定过程,并构思了建议的6E模型。这些过程可以进行分组,以便于参考,包括研讨会前阶段的“恳求”、“争取”、“参与”,以及研讨会阶段的“诱导”、“授权”和“封装”。结论:6E模型建立研究议程在概念上是合乎逻辑的。在其他情况下,研究议程设置是提高初级保健质量的关键环节,其可行性有待进一步检验。
