Abstract

This paper details the research design of a multidisciplinary, multi-method, collaborative research project investigating health communication from the experiences of the early childhood education (ECE) sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the rapidly evolving pandemic, the ECE sector was instantly tasked with expanding their required health practices to prevent the spread of infection. It was evident that the sector needed a system to communicate health advice in a timely, consistent and effective manner. Founded on a partnership model based on ‘knowledge brokering’ theory, this project demonstrates the value of a multidisciplinary research team collaborating with stakeholder organisations to investigate how COVID-19 health information traversed through complexities of organisational layers and diverse communities of families and staff. Detailing our data collection and analysis protocols, we conclude by outlining how our innovative research design is generating actionable and impactful recommendations for both the ECE and health sectors.

采用多学科、多方法和协同研究设计，调查幼儿部门的健康传播能力

本文详细介绍了一个多学科、多方法、合作研究项目的研究设计，该项目从新冠肺炎大流行期间幼儿教育（ECE）部门的经验中调查健康传播。随着疫情的迅速演变，欧洲经委会部门立即承担起扩大所需卫生做法的任务，以防止感染的传播。很明显，该部门需要一个及时、一致和有效地传达健康建议的系统。该项目建立在基于“知识中介”理论的伙伴关系模型基础上，展示了多学科研究团队与利益相关者组织合作的价值，以调查新冠肺炎健康信息如何穿越复杂的组织层和不同的家庭和员工社区。在详细介绍我们的数据收集和分析协议时，我们最后概述了我们的创新研究设计如何为欧洲经委会和卫生部门提出可行和有影响力的建议。
