Participatory research is a relatively new method of researching
practice especially within palliative care. It differs from other
methodologies in that there is an expectation of action within the
research process. The values that underpin participatory research
are collaboration, empowerment, and reflection. In the current
climate of collaboration and working with people in healthcare,
participatory research methods are gaining increasing interest when
there is a desire to bring about change. Organisational change is
becoming an important focus as we look at ways of not only reducing
costs but at the same time improving quality of care. While
palliative care puts the patient and family at the centre,
Participatory Research in Palliative Care discusses a new research
methodology that puts practitioners at the heart of the research
process as collaborators who work together with researchers to
resolve problems in practice. Divided into three sections, it
provides theoretical groundings of action research, a greater focus
on exemplars from studies within palliative care, and discusses
prominent issues when using such a methodology. All three sections
are illustrated by an action research study undertaken by the
author within a palliative care setting. Participatory Research in
Palliative Care is written by international, multi-disciplinary
authors who explore a collaborative approach to embark on research.
It will appeal to health and social care professionals, academics
undertaking research within palliative care, and the management of
organisations where people with end of life care needs are cared
for, including long-term care homes.
