ABSTRACT

The use of codesign methods is becoming increasingly common practice to involve and engage research participants in health research. Through codesign, end-users and stakeholders can contribute their own perspectives and experiences to solve a common problem. This article describes how a 5-day codesign sprint can be used to find solutions to improve housing decisions of older adults. Based on case studies in Sweden and the Netherlands, we identified similarities, differences, and patterns across the two contexts. By sharing methodological experiences across projects, opportunities are created for other researchers to build on the method and to integrate a creative process into traditional health research methods. We conclude that a 5-day codesign sprint can effectively and efficiently engage older adults and people with dementia in creative housing decision solutions, and we provide recommendations for future codesign sprint projects.

摘要

使用协同设计方法正在变得越来越普遍，以吸引研究参与者参与健康研究。通过协同设计，最终用户和利益相关者可以贡献自己的观点和经验来解决常见问题。本文介绍了如何利用为期 5 天的协同设计冲刺来寻找改善老年人住房决策的解决方案。根据瑞典和荷兰的案例研究，我们确定了这两种背景下的相似点、差异和模式。通过跨项目分享方法学经验，为其他研究人员创造了机会，以该方法为基础，并将创造性过程整合到传统的健康研究方法中。
