Background
• Need for research-based knowledge about e-health: both quantitative and qualitative research
• Growing demand for more practice-oriented forms of research
![Page 3: ”Doing action-research on online self-help groups – advantages and challenges” TTeC 12.06.06 marianne.trondsen@telemed.no anne-grete.sandaunet@telemed.no.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f1b5503460f94c3140e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Action Research
• Focuses on enhancing learning processes to support an organisation’s or a community’s capacity to solve pertinent problems
• Emphasises the partnership between stakeholders and researcher
• The researcher is active in order to facilitate changing processes
• Framed by a reflexive research methodology

Aim of presentation
Outline advantages and challenges by use of AR in assessments of internet based health services
![Page 5: ”Doing action-research on online self-help groups – advantages and challenges” TTeC 12.06.06 marianne.trondsen@telemed.no anne-grete.sandaunet@telemed.no.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f1b5503460f94c3140e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Study examples
• Two explorations of the potential of online exchange of lay experiences
• Study I: breast cancer patients• Study II: adolescents (15-18 years old)
with mentally ill parents• Establishment of two password-
protected, anonymous SHGs, self-selected participants
• Involvement through moderator roles

Study I: breast cancer patients
• Collaboration between NCT and Norwegian Cancer Association
• 40 participants• 1114 postings, 16 months study period

The intervening role
Moderation of the groups:
• Ensure that the communication in the groups corresponds to Norwegian legislation and the customs of the groups
• Awareness to group-processes
• Facilitating activity

Conclusions
• AR can contribute to effective knowledge production within explorations of e-health applications
• However, the physical distance combine with the area of research, require continuous assessment, sensitivity and a solid foundation of the project
