What you can learn in a pub?
POKIES – ‘The crack cocaine of gambling’
“Most recreational gamblers play at low intensity, but the machines
allow losses of up to $1,200 per hour.” – Productivity Commission, 2009
Philip Darbyshire-Creating a Vibrant Research Culture in Nursing and Health Care
The ‘Play Nice’ Research Approach


               The Keys:

  • Where are the collaborations and partnerships? -
    not just professional but with patients, clients
    families and communities.
  • Have you got a team together?
  • Is the project ‘do-able’ in about a year?
  • Are you already and always thinking about
    ‘endpoints’, ‘brownie points’ and outcomes?
“She loved the pokies
more than she loved us”

Why interdisciplinary, ‘Play Nice’ research
                is a Big Deal

Our Research Tradition?
 Florence Nightingale – the
    passionate inquirer:


      “When a profession
undertakes research, it takes
  a step toward maturity and
 the assumption of its social
responsibility...We must place
    emphasis on the use of
 research findings as well as
 on the conduct of research.”
Are you busy?
The ‘Big 4’ reasons why clinicians are
        not more involved in research



No
No
No
No
‘No Time’
‘No Money’
‘No Clue’
‘Not Much
 Support’
“Oh and nurse, if you wouldn’t mind
becoming an active, externally funded and
published researcher as well, that would be
               wonderful.”
Waiting, waiting, waiting ... ... for

 • More staff
 • More time
 • More money
 • Less patients/
   work
 • Inspiration
 • New managers
 • More education
 • More resources
‘Waiting for Godot’
Start the “Play Nice” Revolution


    Simple question:
   If not now, when?
The Vital Lessons
The world has changed and the ‘good old
days’ are never coming back.
Constant change, uncertainty, and
unpredictability is the new ‘normal’
Chaos is the new black!
If you do not have a clear agenda,
someone else will give you theirs!
Philip Darbyshire-Creating a Vibrant Research Culture in Nursing and Health Care
The Clinical Hamster-Wheel
The Clinical Hamster-Wheel

        It co$t$

    Cost of replacing an experienced nurse
     HSM group (USA) $145k (AUS$143k)
     Norwegian estimate, 1m kroner ($200k)
NHHRC Health Reforms Report 2009

                Research is valued and enabled as
                a normal part of providing health
                services.

                Our health workforce is empowered
                to take on the challenge of
                continuous learning, research and
                innovation.

                A vibrant culture of innovation and
                research permeates health services,
                with effective linkages and
                partnerships across universities,
                research institutes, and hospitals
                and health services
The ‘Dumping’ of Research
The ‘Play Nice’ Research Approach


               The Keys:

  • Where are the collaborations and partnerships? -
    not just professional but with patients, clients
    families and communities.
  • Have you got a team together?
  • Is the project ‘do-able’ in about a year?
  • Are you already and always thinking about
    ‘endpoints’, ‘brownie points’ and outcomes?

The Power of
ONE
Get a Project Going

✔

 Keep the discussion of research in
    practice at the abstract and theoretical
    level, and you can be pretty sure that
    nothing will happen.
✔ A tangible project gives people something
  to gather and collaborate around.
Research Alert Detectors
What mechanisms could/do you have to uncover
and identify potential research/projects?

• Patient / client/service feedback
• Complaints
• Professional practice committee/team
• Ideas book
Ask ‘The Missouri Question’

Many hands make?

Is your networking notworking?
Wellesley College Sundial
“The shadow by my finger cast,
Divides the future from the past
   Behind its unreturning line,
 The vanished hour, no longer
               thine.
Before it lies the unknown hour
 In darkness and beyond thine
              power.
   One hour alone is in thine
              hands,
    The now on which the
       shadow stands.”
So, When’s the
        Revolution Coming?

 The revolution will not happen by memorandum.
 Nor can you expect ‘management’ to do it for you.
   If you wait for a time when you have reduced
  workloads, bucketloads of money and unlimited
numbers of staff, - dream on! - you will wait for ever.

     This will NEVER happen
So, When’s the Revolution Coming?


 The revolution will happen in
  your area when you start to
 think and practice as if it had
      already taken place.
“Be the change that you want to see in the
        world.” - Mahatma Gandhi
Play Nice and Prosper!
