| Abstract | In general, there has been a wide gap between research result and its application for development,particularly the application in routine work. One of the contributing factors to this gap is the professional separation between researchers and those who are performing routine jobs such as providing care and services in medical facilities. There has been an understanding that research is a technical work which is functionally different from routine work. Research which is normally considered to be specialized work aims primarily at technical excellence at academic level rather than the application of its result to the development or improvement of routine work. By and large, research work at a certain scale needs fund which in most cases cannot be afforded through the resources available with routine work. However, there has been an attempt to use research as means for the development or improvement of routine work by promoting cooperation between researchers and those who are doing routine work. This is to improve or to further develop routine work through pursuing research methodology and process on the topics arising out from the problems and obstacles encountered in performing routine work. This type of research is sometime called "research cum action" or simply "action research" to be initiated, developed and implemented by those who are doing routine work, and in the process they may be assisted by others as necessary. Action research needs to be pursued through a systematic process and method based on scientific thinking withor without the help of expert. Research cum action utilizes resources available with or around the routine work, there may be requirement for additional resources, but these should be at the minimum. Another way to close the gap between research result and its application is to improve/simplify data/information of research report, including research result and conclusion in the way that it would be clearly understood by lay persons, especially those who are doing routine work. It is also necessary to demystify research report and research result for accessibility and clear understanding of concerned policy makers and administrators of the organizations, as well as practitioners of routine work who provide direct care and services to clients |
