Summary
Co-developing patient-oriented research (POR) curriculum enhances its quality and credibility. This collaborative process also builds POR capacity among leaders, developers, and facilitators involved in its creation.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Patient Engagement
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- The Foundations in Patient-Oriented Research (POR) course was developed in Canada to standardize understanding of POR principles and team dynamics among diverse stakeholders.
- The curriculum was co-developed by patients, researchers, and experts, utilizing a co-learning format for inclusive education.
- This study examines the experiences of those involved in the co-development, piloting, and revision of the POR curriculum.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the experiences of project leaders, developers, facilitators, and patient co-facilitators during the co-development and piloting of the Foundations in Patient-Oriented Research curriculum.
- To identify the benefits and challenges associated with co-developing and delivering a patient-oriented research curriculum.
- To provide guidance for future curriculum development initiatives in patient-oriented research.
Main Methods:
- An embedded case study approach was employed.
- Data were collected through two focus group sessions with individuals involved in the curriculum's co-development, piloting, and revision.
- The constant comparison method was used for thematic analysis.
Main Results:
- Co-building content and co-facilitating sessions within a co-learning format were highly valued.
- The co-development process was perceived as successful, enhancing the curriculum's quality, uptake, and credibility.
- Identified barriers included significant resource, time, and commitment requirements, alongside tension between content integrity and local adaptation.
Conclusions:
- Co-developing a patient-oriented research curriculum demonstrably improves its quality, uptake, and credibility.
- The co-development process not only benefited target learners but also enhanced the capacity of project leaders, developers, facilitators, and patient co-facilitators in patient-oriented research.
- The study's findings and recommendations offer valuable insights for other groups undertaking similar curriculum development projects.

01:13Location and Orientation of the Heart
9.9K
The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

01:27Movement Joints in Buildings
343
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.

01:30Types of Building Stone
435
Building stones, essential materials for construction, are extracted from natural rock deposits and processed into specific forms and dimensions suitable for various building applications. These stones are broadly classified into three types based on their geological formation: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of magma or lava. An example is granite, known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for parts of...

01:23Types of Building Separation Joints
601
Building separation joints divide large or complex building structures into smaller, discrete units that can move independently. These joints are categorized into three types: volume-change joints, settlement joints, and seismic separation joints.
Volume-change joints address the effects of expansion and contraction due to temperature and moisture variations. They are strategically placed at discontinuities in a building's mass where cracking is most likely and are spaced about 150 to 200...

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

01:18Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
1.7K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:
