Table 2 List of variables for multivariate analysis
Variables | Rationale | Values |
|---|---|---|
Dependent variable | ||
Extra benefit (yes/no) (raw kappac = 0.506a | Extra benefits offer possibilities for increasing understanding and action [48] | Present/absent (1/0) |
Independent variables | ||
Participation of non-academic partners (raw kappac = 0.590b | Co-construction type participation of at least one non-academic partner group (i.e., nurses, staff, physicians, patients, etc.) will yield more extra benefits [3] | Co-construction/consultation (1/0) |
OPR initiation (researchers/organization) (raw kappa = 0.534b | OPR initiated by the organization members will yield more extra benefits | Organization/Academic or joint (1/0) |
Number of non-academic groups (i.e., nurses, therapists, physicians, patients, etc.) who participate in the research | A greater number of participant groups will increase the potential for unanticipated advantages [3] | Number of groups (n) |
Participation of management | Participation of management will yield more extra benefits | Present/absent (1/0) |
Duration of the study | Longer studies will yield more extra benefits [3]. Research indicates many partnerships due not survive their first year if they do not manage to build productive working relationships [49, 50] | More than 1 year/1 year or less (1/0) |
Date of publication | Studies published subsequent to the Waterman et al. [3] (2001) systematic review will exhibit more extra benefits | 2005 or later/before 2005 (1/0) |
