Investigating lay understanding of medical terminology used in minor head injury consultations

该项目的动机是由医疗保健专业人员确定的需求：适当地传达有关疾病和伤害的信息，最大限度地减少误解的风险，并最大限度地提高患者/医生的信心和伙伴关系。混合方法设计将使用来自卫生专业人员和公众的访谈和问卷调查数据;数据将按照斯旺西大学的“研究伦理和治理”结构进行收集，存储和管理，并将遵循综合研究应用系统（IRAS）关于NHS合规性的指导。与以前的合作项目一样，研究人员将接受健康和安全培训，并将与项目合作伙伴，大学NHS研发负责人和大学职业健康团队合作，以符合现场的具体要求。

The project is motivated by a need identified by health care professionals: to communicate information about illness and injury appropriately, minimising risk of misunderstanding and maximising patient/practitioner confidence and partnership. The mixed methods design will use interview and questionnaire data from health professionals and the public; data will be collected, stored and managed in line with Swansea University 'Research Ethics and Governance' structure, and will follow Integrated Research Applications System (IRAS) guidance regarding NHS compliance. As with previous collaborative projects, the researcher will receive Health and Safety training, and will work with project partners, the University NHS R&D lead, and the University Occupational Health team, as appropriate, to comply with site-specific requirements.
