About this study
In order to develop paramedical research culture, the paramedical staff need adapted tools and methods. The GenI project (Research ideas generation) has for main objective the design and validation of a tool that will allow the identification of paramedical research ideas. This tool will be built based on paramedical staff views. Our hypothesis is that the use of the GenI tool will help to detect research ideas in paramedical health care that could lead to research projects.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Focus groupOther
An researcher in psychology will lead focus group on research views for paramedical staff
test of the Geni toolOther
The GenI tool built on paramedic's view will be tested.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comparison of the number of research ideas generated by a group of experts and by a group of paramedical staff
At the end of each focus group, the group of paramedical staff and the group of experts will provide the list of ideas generated with or without the use of the tool. The number of ideas will be counted
Measured: in 1 year
Comparison of the pertinence of research ideas generated by a group of experts and by a group of paramedical staff
Each research idea will be evaluated by an independent expert group on the "utility, innovation and feasibility" aspects (likert in 4 points) in order to compare the research ideas generated by paramedical groups (with the support of the GENI tool) and the research ideas generated by research experts groups.
Measured: in 1 year
