Longitudinal Studies

145
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Summary

The Needs Led Research (NLR) approach effectively prioritizes research by involving knowledge users to identify and verify evidence gaps. Implementing NLR in PhD projects requires dedicated resources and pragmatic decision-making for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal Health Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Growing concern over research waste and misalignment with knowledge user needs.
  • The Needs Led Research (NLR) approach aims to address evidence gaps relevant to knowledge users.
  • NLR involves literature review and knowledge user collaboration to identify and prioritize research needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and compare the implementation of the NLR approach in two PhD projects within maternity care.
  • To identify and address challenges encountered during NLR implementation.
  • To provide insights for future NLR initiatives in health research.

Main Methods:

  • The NLR process involved four phases: scope definition, needs identification/verification, prioritization, and project design.
  • Literature searches and knowledge user involvement (groups and surveys) were key components.
  • Two PhD projects focused on labor induction (NLR-LINO) and fetal monitoring in low-risk deliveries (NLR-LISTEN).

Main Results:

  • NLR-LINO identified 17 verified research needs, with 10 rated "very important" by 322 respondents. Project aim: investigate outpatient labor induction benefits.
  • NLR-LISTEN identified 7 verified research needs, prioritized by 466 respondents. Project aim: evaluate fetal monitoring in low-risk deliveries and adherence to guidelines.
  • Both projects successfully defined research aims based on identified and verified evidence gaps relevant to knowledge users.

Conclusions:

  • The Needs Led Research (NLR) approach is a viable method for prioritizing research needs.
  • The initial scope significantly impacts subsequent NLR phases, underscoring the need for pragmatic decision-making.
  • Successful NLR implementation necessitates dedicated resources, additional time, and appropriate training, especially within academic projects.
