Abstract
Operational research (OR) in public health aims to investigate strategies, interventions, tools or knowledge that can enhance the quality, coverage, effectiveness or performance of health systems. Attention has recently been drawn to the lack of OR capacity in public health programmes throughout the Pacific Islands, despite considerable investment in implementation. This lack of ongoing and critical reflection may prevent health programme staff from understanding why programme objectives are not being fully achieved, and hinder long-term gains in public health. The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) has been collaborating with Pacific agencies to conduct OR courses based on the training model developed by The Union and Médecins Sans Frontières Brussels-Luxembourg in 2009. The first of these commenced in 2011 in collaboration with the Fiji National University, the Fiji Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization and other partners. The Union and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community organised a second course for participants from other Pacific Island countries and territories in 2012, and an additional course for Fijian participants commenced in 2013. Twelve participants enrolled in each of the three courses. Of the two courses completed by end 2013, 18 of 24 participants completed their OR and submitted papers by the course deadline, and 17 papers have been published to date. This article describes the context, process and outputs of the Pacific courses, as well as innovations, adaptations and challenges.

L'attention a récemment été attirée sur le manque de capacités en recherche opérationnelle des programmes de santé publique dans toutes les îles du Pacifique malgré des investissements considérables dans leur mise en œuvre. Ce manque de réflexion critique pourrait empêcher le personnel des programmes de santé de comprendre pourquoi les objectifs ne sont pas totalement atteints et entraver des progrès à long terme en santé publique. L'Union Internationale contre la Tuberculose et les Maladies Respiratoires (L'Union) a collaboré avec les agences du Pacifique pour offrir des cours de RO basés sur un modèle de formation élaboré par L≈os;Union et Médecins Sans Frontières Bruxelles-Luxembourg en 2009. Le premier a débuté en 2011 en collaboration avec l'Université nationale de Fidji, le Ministère de la santé de Fidji, l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé et d'autres partenaires. L'Union et le Secrétariat de la Communauté Pacifique ont organisé un deuxième cours pour les participants des autres îles du Pacifique en 2012 et un cours supplémentaire destiné aux participants Fidjiens a commencé en 2013. Douze participants ont été enrôlés dans chacun des trois cours. En ce qui concerne les deux cours terminés avant la fin de 2013, 18 participants sur 24 ont terminé leur RO et soumis leurs articles avant la date limite. A ce jour, 17 articles ont été publiés. Cet article décrit le contexte, l'organisation et les résultats des cours du Pacifique ainsi que les innovations, adaptations et défis.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ES"><p>La meta de la investigación operativa en salud pública consiste en estudiar las estrategias, las intervenciones, los instrumentos o los conocimientos que fortalecen la calidad, la cobertura, la eficacia y el desempeño de los sistemas de salud. En tiempos recientes, se ha llamado la atención sobre la falta de capacidad de realizar investigación operativa en los programas de salud pública en todas las Islas del Pacífico, pese a una inversión considerable en la ejecución. La falta de una reflexión crítica permanente impide que el personal del programa de salud comprenda las razones por las cuales no se cumple a cabalidad con los objetivos y dificulta además el logro de beneficios a largo plazo en materia de salud pública. La Unión Internacional contra la Tuberculosis y las Enfermedades Respiratorias (La Unión) ha colaborado con entidades del Pacífico a fin de llevar a cabo cursos de investigación operativa, con base en un modelo de capacitación elaborado por La Unión y Médicos Sin Fronteras de Bruselas y Luxemburgo en el 2009. El primero de estos cursos comenzó en el 2011, en colaboración con la Universidad Nacional Fiji, el Ministerio de Salud de Fiji, la Organización Mundial de la Salud y otros asociados. La Unión y la Secretaría de la Comunidad del Pacífico organizaron un segundo curso dirigido a participantes de otros países y territorios de las Islas del Pacífico en el 2012 y en el 2013 comenzó un nuevo curso, destinado a participantes de las Islas Fiji. Cada uno de los tres cursos contó con 12 participantes. En los dos cursos terminados antes del fin de 2013, 18 de los 24 participantes completaron la investigación operativa, presentaron sus artículos dentro del término previsto en el curso y hasta la fecha, se han publicado 17 artículos científicos. En el presente artículo se describen el contexto, los procedimientos y los resultados de los cursos de las Islas del Pacífico y se comentan además las innovaciones, las adaptaciones y las dificultades encontradas.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group><kwd>capacity building</kwd><kwd>The Union</kwd><kwd>Médecins Sans Frontières</kwd><kwd>operational research</kwd></kwd-group><counts><page-count count="12"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front></pmc></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
