The Department of Family Medicine, in partnership with the Unit茅 de soutien SRAP Qu茅bec, is presenting "Literature Reviews: Why We Get Lost and How to Find Our Way Around", a training workshop facilitated by聽Paula Bush, PhD, Scientific Coordinator, Methodological Development Component, Quebec SRAP Support Unit and Academic Associate, Department of Family Medicine.听

Participatory research involves conducting research with participants rather than on them. These participants are therefore research partners. Rooted in the work of Kurt Lewin on action research and Chris Argyris on organizational learning (action science), organizational participatory research (OPR) is a form of participatory research where the research partners are academics and members of the organizations involved. OPR combines quantitative, qualitative or mixed research methods with action to improve health care practices, services and policies.

Within health organizations, OPR聽is used to implement change by responding to challenges, solving clinical and non-clinical problems, or developing and implementing innovations or interventions. It can also strengthen the skills of health professionals and contribute to their professional development and patient satisfaction. According to OPR, partner organizations collect data about their practice and use it to reflect, understand and discover knowledge. For example, OPR can be applied to develop reflective practice and organizational learning. The objective of this training is to introduce participants to the specificities of OPR (compared to other collaborative research approaches), learn how to conduct an OPR study, and discuss it in relation to their respective research through group exercises.

Main objectives
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish OPR from other trends in participatory research;
• To know the processes of the RPO;
• Apply OPR processes in their own research projects.
• Be aware of the potential additional benefits of OPR

At registration, participants will be asked to provide a short summary of their project and specify the following elements:

• Object of research and, if it is evaluative research, intervention under study;
• Research objectives or questions;
• Methods;
• Actors involved.
