P2 Own skills in conducting a piece of action research into health and wellbeing improvement
For carrying out a research, it is necessary for an individual or researcher to possess
specified skills as it will enable them within gathering, analysing as well as conducting the
research as per desired standards and attain the desired outcome in an affirmative manner. With
respect to this, researcher can make use of books, journals, websites, sources or other resources
to have apt information within the stipulated time frame and carry out research accordingly
(Badroeni, 2018). This makes it crucial for a researcher to possess some skills through which
suitable results can be produced by having or collecting relevant information in context of topic
on which research is being carried out. Some of the mandatory skills have been illustrated below:

Time management- For conducting research in an efficacious way, it is crucial to possess
significant skills in context of time management. For an instance, if data is not gathered
within the stipulated time frame then, it is obvious that there will be negative impact on
overall results that are attained as things will be done for the sake of completion rather than
emphasising on improvisation existent results. Through this research, I have analysed that I
possess trenchant and appropriate time management skills which assisted me for carrying
out my responsibilities within the given time duration. Along with this, the results attained
were precise and accurate which lead to the enhancement within the confidence level which
made to focus on rest of activities appropriately. For this, it is necessary that appropriate
scheduling and planning is done which makes it easy to perform tasks within the specified
time limit.
Patience- This is one of the most considerable as well as vital component as there
exist need for appropriate acknowledgement of topics in between team members by which they
can carry out tasks in an coordinated way and as per desired standards. Here, each and every
person involved within carrying out research activities do have their own mindset and mentality
towards tasks assigned to them (Billi. and Waterman, 2014). I am a short tempered person and
like to do the things in my own way rather than taking suggestions again and again for same
thing. This makes me frustrated and angry, thereby, acts as the biggest challenge while working
with different bunch of individuals. This shows that I need to enhance the level of patience
which I do have so that affirmative relationship can be formulated and things can be taken from
others in terms of their viewpoint in specified task and vice-versa. Obviously, this will lead to
make activities smooth, avoid conflicts and miscommunication. This skill has to be improvised
as it will enable to have healthy conversation.
Through the assistance of the skills or information which have been specified above, it is
clearly stated that there are some abilities which needs to be enhanced but there do exist
some in which I am expert so it is important that some basic skills must be improvised. This
will enable to ensure that different activities involved within carrying out research are
performed in an apt way.
