The level of anecdotal reporting on acceptability and feasibility (nine papers) suggests acknowledgement by investigators of the importance of acceptability and feasibility, however, there remains a lack of operationalisation of these elements in research design.
Within the literature on frailty, there was substantial variation in the definition and operationalisation of frailty, even within a single area of research.
Planning and designing the intervention was undertaken in two stages: development of a project-wide logical framework before the intervention phase; and a site-specific action research-based operationalisation of this framework undertaken during the intervention phase.
Based on data from the review, the imperative for researchers in the field is operationalisation of feasibility and acceptability as constructs in research designs of pragmatic trials of psychosocial interventions for schizophrenia.
There is a great deal of research focused on defining equity in access to healthcare [ 36, 38- 40], and its operationalisation [ 41- 44].
A ubiquitous feature of research is that many data sets on the same subject use different analytical frameworks, different variables and different operationalisation of the same variables.
Hence, we describe the research metholodogy and the operationalisation of the three dimensions of interculturalism discussed above.
The paper introduces an on-going doctoral research study aimed at facilitating the operationalisation of sustainable energy systems.
But the paper raises doubts about whether the proposed operationalisation of impact is adequate to evaluate the ways that research and knowledge translation are actually carried out.
The present review confirms this finding, and encourages future research to put focus on the operationalisation of person-centredness into health promotion actions with an ageing and increasingly diverse population.
Similarly, a true respect for, and operationalisation of, autonomy would start from an understanding of how research participants understand and value autonomy and modify governance requirements accordingly [ 99, 143- 145].
