I denne kvalitative studien undersøkes hvordan masteroppgavene kan bidra til kunnskapsbasen i helsefremmende arbeid. Studien er basert på en gjennomgang av masteroppgaver i helsefremmende arbeid fra perioden 2008 – 2018 ved ett universitet i Norge, samt et fokusgruppeintervju med den akademiske faggruppen tilknyttet dette masterstudiet. Data er analysert ved hjelp av innholdsanalyse. Analysen viser at masteroppgavene speiler emnet som beskrevet i internasjonale konsensusdokumenter om undervisning og forskning i helsefremmende arbeid, og svarer på forskningsbehov relatert til helsefremmende praksis. For at masteroppgavene skal kunne bidra til fagets forskningsbase, kreves fagfellevurderte publikasjoner. Slike publikasjoner forutsetter innsats fra både studenten og veilederen, noe som kan være en utfordring for begge parter på grunn av mangel på ressurser. Det er behov for organisatorisk tilrettelegging for å skape en kultur for publisering av masteroppgaver i vitenskapelige tidsskrifter.
Abstract
Master’s theses as important contributions to knowledge-based health promotion?
This qualitative study examines how master's theses can contribute to the knowledge base of health promotion. The study is based on a review of master's theses published from 2008 – 2018 in one university in Norway, and a focus group interview with university academics working at the current health promotion program. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The analysis shows that the master's theses mirror the subject matter as described in international consensus documents on teaching and research on health promotion. In addition, they provide new knowledge about local health promotion practice and research needs. For master's theses to be able to contribute to the research base, peer-reviewed publications are required. Such publications require efforts from both the student and the supervisor and can be difficult to achieve due to lack of resources. There is a need for organizational support to create a culture for publishing master’s theses in scientific journals.
