GenI: a Tool to Generate Paramedical Research Ideas (GenI)

November 23, 2017 updated by: Central Hospital, Nancy, France
In order to develop paramedical research culture, the paramedical staff need adapted tools and methods. The GenI project (Research ideas generation) has for main objective the design and validation of a tool that will allow the identification of paramedical research ideas. This tool will be built based on paramedical staff views. Our hypothesis is that the use of the GenI tool will help to detect research ideas in paramedical health care that could lead to research projects.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of the number of research ideas generated by a group of experts and by a group of paramedical staff
Time Frame: in 1 year
At the end of each focus group, the group of paramedical staff and the group of experts will provide the list of ideas generated with or without the use of the tool. The number of ideas will be counted
in 1 year
Comparison of the pertinence of research ideas generated by a group of experts and by a group of paramedical staff
Time Frame: in 1 year
Each research idea will be evaluated by an independent expert group on the "utility, innovation and feasibility" aspects (likert in 4 points) in order to compare the research ideas generated by paramedical groups (with the support of the GENI tool) and the research ideas generated by research experts groups.
