Participatory health services research

Advisory Board - Geriatrics

Participatory health services research approaches have become an integral part of many research funding programs internationally. The Department of Geriatrics also actively involves those affected and practice partners from the healthcare system in its research projects. The scientific advisory board has been advising and supporting the SeFallED project since 2021.

The tasks of the scientific advisory board include

  • Supporting and advising on the creation of study materials,
  • recommendations for assessments,
  • the planning and implementation of interventions,
  • and participation in focus groups and their evaluation.

In September 2024, there was a change in the scientific advisory board: the initial SeFallED project advisory board, which most recently consisted of four older people who have experienced falls themselves, was not only expanded to include seven new advisory board members, but was also restructured to form a new scientific advisory board for two projects in the Geriatrics department.

The advisory board members are involved in various research phases as partners at regular meetings and thus actively influence decisions on the current iSeFallED and TRAIL projects of the Department of Geriatrics. Both projects aim to specifically prevent falls and their long-term consequences, with a particular focus on physical training in high-risk groups.

In addition to advising on various recruitment strategies and the design of study content, the advisory board's work also includes advising on the implementation of physical training in various settings (rehabilitation clinic, home, gait laboratory and sports club). In addition, the members support the development of strategies for the long-term implementation of fall prevention interventions in practice.

The new advisory board, now consisting of patients and practice partners, makes a valuable contribution to improving the quality of research and care practice - using the example of "in Oldenburg".
