Overview
A National Institute for Health Research programme entitled ' Examining the role of patients' experiences as a resource for choice and decision-making in health care' has been awarded to a multi-disciplinary team led by Sue Ziebland and Ann McPherson in the Health Experiences Research Group, Department of Primary Health Care, University of Oxford. The programme will run for 5 years from February 2010.
As part of this exciting new programme we are seeking a doctoral student to help develop and pilot test (in experiments and primary care trials) a new, generic measure/ questionnaire to capture the health effects of exposure to online health information on patients' experiences (PEx).
Trials to evaluate the impact of online PEx need to identify the most appropriate outcomes. The range of relevant outcomes is potentially large and may be addressed, in part, by some existing measures - eg health status and health-related quality of life, emotional adjustment, coping and decisional conflict. However, because research on online PEx information is in its infancy, no assessment tool exists that can identify the unique components that are likely to be affected. It is unlikely that a single measure could capture the full gamut of health effects associated with exposure to online PEx across all clinical areas.
The proposed doctoral work will provide an opportunity to combine qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis to develop and test the new assessment tool. The inclusion of the work in the NIHR programme will enable the performance of the measure to be assessed in a series of experiments and primary care trials.
Value of this studentship
Studentships will be for a fixed term of 3 years and will cover all fees plus an annual stipend (for 2010 this will be £15,170).
The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Crispin Jenkinson and Sue Ziebland.
How to apply
Further particulars and details of how to apply can be obtained from our website www.dphpc.ox.ac.uk or by emailing: personnel@dphpc.ox.ac.uk
Closing date for applications is 11 February 2010 and interviews will be held on 17 February 2010
