[Healthcare research, a reflexive approach in oncogeriatric]

Area of Science:

• Geriatric Medicine
• Oncology
• Healthcare Research Methodology

Background:

• Healthcare research is undergoing significant development.
• The oncogeriatrics team at Toulouse University Hospital initiated a research protocol based on an innovative practice.
• This initiative reflects the dynamic nature of medical research.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the development of a research protocol originating from an innovative practice within oncogeriatrics.
• To understand the complexities and reflexive nature of this research approach for caregivers.
• To identify the challenges associated with responding to research project calls in this specialized field.

Main Methods:

• The study involved an innovative practice within the oncogeriatrics team.
• A reflexive approach was adopted by caregivers.
• The process of developing a research protocol was examined.

Main Results:

• The development of the research protocol was an evolving process.
• Caregivers engaged in a reflexive and complex approach.
• Responding to research project calls presented inherent hazards.

Conclusions:

• Innovative practices can serve as a foundation for developing research protocols in oncogeriatrics.
• The process requires a reflexive and adaptive approach from healthcare professionals.
• Navigating the landscape of research project calls is a complex aspect of academic healthcare.
