Research Assessment: Diabetes Research Data Collection and Analysis

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of diabetes research, focusing on the scope, goals, and resources required. It emphasizes the importance of inter-disciplinary collaboration and cultural competence in healthcare research. The report details primary data collection methods, such as one-on-one interviews with healthcare providers and patients, and secondary data collection through the review of medical records. It highlights the significance of stakeholder involvement, including healthcare consumers, providers, policy makers, and research experts, in the planning and data collection phases. The report references key literature on research impact assessment, data collection methods, and cultural competence in healthcare, providing a thorough overview of the research process and its implications for diabetes studies.

The scope assessment is determined through inter-disciplinary collaboration between
important stakeholders and informants, who form an advisory committee. The aim of the
assessment is to determine the extent, goals and resources required in achieving the research.
The scope also articulates the data gathering and analysis strategies. Assessing the impact of
the research determines the resource allocation and maximise the benefits of the research
while reducing research waste (Rivera, Kyte, Aiyegbusi, Keeley, & Calvert, 2017).Cultural
competence is also essential in healthcare research to minimize health inequalities and
achieve maintenance of evidence-based care (Demir & Usta, 2017).
Primary and secondary data is essential to realize the goals of diabetes research.
Primary data collection can be achieved using one-on-one interviews involving a set f
interest areas or predetermined questions. Interview data is essential for the generation f
models, theories and themes. It is used to document the experiences and perceptions of
participants. Interview data is often rich, and in-depth (Paradis, O'Brien, Nimmon, Bandiera,
& Martimianakis, 2016). Face-to-face interviews require low costs and moderate expertise
to undertke (Ferencz & Serban, 2017). The interviews may target healthcare providers,
experts and diabetes patients,
Review of medical records is a reliable method for collecting secondary diabetes
data. The method entails utilizing previously stored medical records. It I time efficient and
provides essential data for understanding real-time problems I healthcare, such as diabetes
(Ferencz & Serban, 2017). Review of exiting medical data requires involvement of
healthcare providers to ensure security and confidentiality of the data.
The planning group includes of the healthcare consumers representatives who are
diabetes patients, healthcare providers, healthcare policy makers and research experts. The

stakeholders work collaboratively in planning the assessment. They will also take part in
data collection.
