How might the applied research design presented below be appropriate for my research plan?

 

The problem is that healthcare professionals are not always adequately trained for disaster readiness, which results in inadequate responses during emergencies (Melnychuk et al., 2022). The purpose of this proposed qualitative participative action research study is to explore strategies to ensure the development of comprehensive training for disaster readiness management. Participants include 15-25 healthcare administrators, directors, doctors, and nurses. The geographical location of the proposed study is the Western region of the United States. This study may help leaders improve emergency response outcomes.

 

Research Design: Participative action research (PAR) requires the researcher and employees to collaboratively resolve a major organizational problem or address an organizational-level decision; the results of PAR are designed to influence policy and practice. Examples of PAR include tiger teams or blue-ribbon panels, in which participants who are impacted by the problem are brought together from across the organization to creatively address a systemic issue by planning and implementing the change. The researcher shares control of the process design with the employees.
