Contemporary Standards Of Practice That Support The Training Of Community Health
Professionals In Research Methods And Ways To Incorporate Research Into Clinical
Practice
There are various strategies that have been specifically designed to facilitate the training
of community health professionals in research approaches. These standards have been developed
to act as the framework for the practice expectations that are expected of all community health
professionals when undertaking research methods. These standards that support training include
a code of ethics that is incorporated that requires health professionals to have accountability,
values of practice and professionalism. To be able to incorporate research into practice, there are
processes that are followed; the clinician needs to learn of the advance, make a judgment and be
able to change practice to accommodate new skills (Reason & Bradbury, 2001).
Two Current Methods Of Research Within A Community Health Care And Mental Health
Setting And How These Provide Cost-Effective Links To The Consumer
There are two main research methods within a community health care and mental health
setting which include qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods are
methods that are used to get and gather non-numerical information in terms of symbols,
meanings, definitions, metaphors, and characteristics of the population under study. The
quantitative research methods are used to measure and determine data through measurement,
numerical and statistical analysis of data and information that has been gained via surveys, polls,
and questionnaires by the manipulation of the available and pre-existing statistical data by the
use of computational techniques. These methods provide cost-effective links to the customer as
the data and information collected are used to determine and develop cheap and effective ways
of solving problems (Creswell & Creswell, 2017).
