Pengadaan Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival di Nagari Harau, Kabupaten Limapuluhkota, Sumatera Barat bertujuan untuk memberikan kontribusi pada tata kelola seni dan peluangnya mengambil bagian dalam proses demokratisasi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan dimana para peneliti ikut terlibat langsung dalam upaya menumbuhkan kembali dan melestarikan nilai-nilai budaya yang ada di Nagari Harau. Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival merupakan suatu tindakan yang dipilih untuk diimplementasikan dalam penelitian ini, dimana pelaksanaan kegiatannya sudah disesuaikan dengan sistem/struktur organisasi yang baru. Struktur organisasi ini menyatu dengan Pemerintah Nagari Harau, institusi adat, dan bersifat fleksibel terdiri dari unsur-unsur Rapat Nagari, Dewan Festival, Direktur, Kurator, dan keuangan. Refleksi yang merupakan salah satu rangkaian dalam siklus penelitian tindakan mencatat dua hal penting yaitu 1) diperlukan suatu upaya yang lebih gigih untuk mendapatkan kepercayaan dan juga akses dari masyarakat setempat dalam upaya pelestarian nilai budaya di Nagari Harau dan 2) perlu adanya antisipasi terkait munculnya pelaku bisnis pariwisata yang hanya peduli pada keuntungan atau ajakan kolaborasi penuh resiko oleh birokrasi dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival.ART AND CITIZENSHIPThe Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival in Nagari Harau, Limapuluhkota Regency, West Sumatra was conducted with the purpose to preserve the art values upheld in the community. It was also considered as an opportunity to take parts in the democratization process in Indonesia.  This research implemented an action research approach where the researchers directly involved in the efforts to nurture and preserve the cultural values existed in Nagari Harau. Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival was chosen to be implemented in this study in which the implementation of its activities has been adjusted to the new organizational system/structure. This organizational structure was integrated with the Nagari Harau Government, local culture institutions, and was executed flexibly, consisting of the elements of the Nagari Meeting, Festival Council, Director, Curator, and finance. In the Reflection cycle, which was a part of this action research cycles, two important points were noted: 1) a more persistent effort was needed to gain trust and access from the local community in the effort to preserve cultural values in Nagari Harau and 2) anticipation was needed regarding the emergence of business people who only cared for profits and risky collaboration with political parties/ bureaucracy in the implementation of the Pasa Harau Art and Culture Festival

ObjectivesTo clarify the process of how caregivers in a nursing home integrate the perspectives of rehabilitation into their responsibilities through working with a physical therapist.DesignThis study was conducted under an action research approach.SettingThe target facility was a nursing home located in Japan. The researcher, a physical therapist, worked at the nursing home once a week from April 2016 to March 2017. During the study period, he created field notes focused on the dialogue and action of caregivers regarding care, responses of caregivers to the physical therapist and reflections as a physical therapist. Caregivers were also given a short informal interview about their relationship with the nursing home residents. For data analysis, two researchers discussed the content based on the field notes, consolidating the findings.ParticipantsThe participants were caregivers who worked at the target facility. Thirty-eight caregivers agreed to participate. Average age was 39.6±11.1 years, 14 (37%) were male and average caregiver experience was 9.8 years.ResultsTwo cycles of action research were conducted during the study period. There were four stages in the process of how caregivers in the nursing home integrated the perspectives of rehabilitation through their work with the physical therapist. First, caregivers resisted having the rehabilitation programme carried out in the unit because they perceived that rehabilitation performed by a physical therapist was a special process and not under their responsibility. However, the caregivers were given a shared perspective on rehabilitation by the physical therapist, which helped them to understand the meaning of care to adapt the residents’ abilities to their daily life. They practised resident-centred care on a trial basis, although with a sense of conflict between their new and previous role, which emphasised the safety of residents’ lives and personhood. The caregivers increased their self-efficacy as their knowledge and skills were supplemented by the physical therapist and his approval of their attempted care. They were then able to commit to their newly conceived specialty of care as a means of supporting the lives of residents.ConclusionsThe process of working with a physical therapist led to a change in caregivers’ perception and behaviours, which occurred in four stages: resistance to incorporation, recapture of other perspectives, conflicts and trials in the role of caregiver and transformation to a resident-centred perspective.

This article describes the use of a participatory action research (PAR) approach to developing a self-management resource for persons living with dementia and care partners. Despite growing evidence that persons with dementia are able to contribute in meaningful ways to decision-making about their care and life preferences, few opportunities exist for them to participate in the design of resources and services meant for them. There is also a need to support the self-management of persons living with dementia with the provision of accurate, high quality, user-friendly information. The Living Well with Dementia resource was developed through a partnership with persons with dementia, family members, Alzheimer Society representatives, primary care providers, and researchers. The methods used in the development of this resource are outlined in six steps employed in this process, from establishment of a PAR team to final resource creation. Informed by a whole systems approach, the resource brings together essential components of self-management into a comprehensive system of care and support for living. It empowers users to be active participants in the application of new knowledge to their lives. Better self-management has important implications for access to health care and quality of life for persons with dementia and care partners.

Action Research Approach

This article reports on the evaluation of an action research project designed to support workforce development in the promotion of healthy nutrition for older people. The evaluation methodology was grounded by the action research approach of the project and focused on case studies of the 10 partner organisations. Findings indicate that the Healthy Ageing—Nutrition Project has resulted in a large increase in awareness and knowledge about healthy ageing and nutrition in the case study organisations, and to a lesser extent, in the broader health and aged care sectors. For the case study organisations it seems likely that transformational change has been made through the project's work of building capacity, mediating and facilitating change and providing resources. Support at board and management level, as well as thoughtful development of the workforce, were critical success factors in bringing about organisational change. The main challenge was identified as time and resources needed. Follow-up evaluation of the health outcomes from nutritional assessment, screening and intervention should also be implemented in order to provide further evidence of the value of this effort.
