  • The Tango of Problem Formulation: A Patient's/Researcher's Reflection on an Action Design Research Journey.
    Journal of medical Internet research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Michael Twomey, David Sammon, Tadhg Nagle
    Abstract:

    This paper reports on the reflection of the Lead Researcher, a 48-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis (CF), and aims to portray his real-life experience of a 10-month action design research (ADR) project. Playing a dual role, as both a patient and Researcher, the Lead Researcher reflects deeply on his ADR experience with particular emphasis on the problem formulation stage of creating a simple yet impactful checklist to aid memory recall of CF patients or caregivers during a medical appointment. Using Driscoll's model of reflection, a real-life unsanitized ADR experience is carefully imparted via a series of 4 vignettes, including 4 key learnings, which highlight the connection between a meticulous considered approach to problem formulation and truly effective outcomes. By providing this rich account of problem formulation within ADR, it is hoped that this reflection will help Researchers to better understand the complexity of problem formulation in design-oriented research; to avoid making assumptions and becoming fixated on solutions; and to move instead to an end point where several possible ways of examining a problem have been considered, explored, and understood-an end point where successful end results are reached through grit and determination. This paper advocates for the inclusion and portrayal of the actual realities or ups and downs of this dynamic and evolving stage of ADR, capturing the often-tacit knowledge of problem formulation and begetting a sense of realism and humanity to ADR serving as knowledge contributions in their own right. The Lead Researcher is the patient and Researcher in this ADR project. This is my story!

  • Research Development in University Nursing Departments in South Africa: description of a research development model
    South African Journal of Higher Education, 2016
    Co-Authors: L.r. Uys, H.c. Klopper
    Abstract:

    In the field of research, nursing is in a catch-up mode and the need to rapidly develop the capacity to do research that addresses the health needs of the population is being addressed by university nursing schools in South Africa. The design and implementation of the research development programme intended to surmount this problem is described in this paper. The programme aimed at developing Lead Researchers within each nursing department to Lead a research programme on a selected health topic. The focus was on the person as well as the department as the research platform. The Lead Researchers were assisted in developing a research team for their programme, in becoming part of an international network, working with a research mentor, in submitting proposals for external funding and preparing for NRF rating. This was done through a series of workshops and the appointment of a mentor for each Lead Researcher. The programme was successful in getting Lead Researchers to establish research teams in their own institutions, work with mentors and apply for external research funding.

  • Panel Blasts Ethics, Science of 1940s Guatemala Studies
    Science (New York N.Y.), 2011
    Co-Authors: Jocelyn Kaiser
    Abstract:

    An exhaustive high-level review of unethical syphilis experiments conducted in Guatemala by U.S. Researchers in the 1940s has found little to redeem the work or its Lead Researcher. The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues found that the study was shoddy scientifically and did not meet ethical standards at the time.

  • Tulane inquiry clears Lead Researcher.
    Science (New York N.Y.), 1999
    Co-Authors: Jocelyn Kaiser
    Abstract:

    SCIENCE POLICINGAn investigation into whether fraud played a role in an influential report on the health effects of hormonelike chemicals has drawn to a murky close. In a letter on page [1932][1], the chancellor of Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans announces that endocrinologist John McLachlan "did not commit, participate in, or have any knowledge of any scientific misconduct" in preparing the paper, which was published in Science 3 years ago and later retracted (25 July 1997, p. [462][2]). [1]: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/284/5422/1929c [2]: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/277/5325/459d
