Co-creating a knowledge translation intervention with families in long-term care homes: insights and challenges

In recent years, co-creation (or co-production) with people with lived experience and care partners has become a prominent aspect of the research landscape and a growing expectation of research funders. There is a lot of variation in the degree to which research teams collaborate with people with lived experience and care partners.   In this session, Dr. Jennifer Baumbusch will share experiences from a co-creation project conducted in long-term care homes. As part of a knowledge-to-action project, family caregivers were integral team members who helped to develop and deliver a workshop series for family members of residents. Jennifer will talk about the successes and lessons learnt in this experience. She will also share strategies for successful co-creation based on this project. After this webinar, the audience will be able to: o Describe key characteristics of co-creation/co-production in a research study. o Reflect upon aspects of co-creation that can contribute to discomfort, why these exist, and how to address them within research teams. o Identify helpful strategies to fully integrate people with lived experience and care partners into the research process from start to finish.
