Hellow

My name is Rachel and I am part of a Epidemiology Clinic team who gives
support to the research area of a tertiary hospital specialized in
Cardiology, in Sao Paulo city, Brazil. I started with the staff of an
intervention in the form of group dynamics, with 100 patients and 100
caregivers in outpatient care of elderly patients. Summarizing, the
intervention comes down to an activity of 5 meetings, which ultimately
allow the patients to spread, as multipliers, with their peers and
communities, the information received in order to facilitate healthy aging
of people.

The program is designed to evaluate whether empowered patients with
knowledge about health promotion has a better grip on the multiprofissional
indicated treatment. To measure this process, it will be applied a
structured questionnaire for 200 participants at the beginning and the end
of the process and, for 4 patients and 4 accompanying, an open interview to
qualitative analysis of the narrative.

The realistic method was the one chosen for this interview. A realistic
intervention was adopted to build the structured questionnaire and
motivational issues of the narrative. A data analysis method for the
following syntheses and realistic analysis process.

Our question is whether we can count on the help of someone in the group
who has this experience to help us reflect this process, since it is our
first work with this methodology and we believe it is appropriate to this
process, or, if you can indicate someone who works in the health education
area and evaluation process, using this methodology.

I'll be in Oxford to accompany Evidence Vivo [Live] in 2016, from June
 22nd to 24th. if you have someone who can talk to me on this occasion, it
would pave the way for this distance supervision. If not asking too much, I
wonder if you have someone who speaks Portuguese in the group, it would
facilitate a lot, once some descriptors in my language has no English
translation and it would be very helpful in the process.

Thanks in adavance.
