Research impacts
Dr Priya Martin’s research has generated significant knowledge and health impact, especially through evidence-informed training and education. Dr Martin’s PhD research was used to develop state-wide supervision training programs for staff in Queensland Health across 16 hospital and health services. She was the lead investigator on an Health Workforce Australia (HWA, 2014) Clinical Supervision Support Program Grant which funded the roll out of supervision training across Queensland public and private health sectors. Evaluation of training programs and resources developed by Dr Martin have demonstrated positive impacts on healthcare worker and organisational outcomes. Her PhD and post-doctoral work are being used to inform national and local policies, training resources, and organisational guidelines (e.g. Occupational Therapy Australia, Queensland Health, and the Rural Health Commissioner’s report).
Dr Martin’s work has been cited by authors from 24 countries in the last five years, across ten different subject areas (including Environmental Science, Computer Science, Business, Management and Accounting), demonstrating the wide reach and impact of her research beyond her subject areas of Medicine, Social (Health) Sciences, and Nursing (Scopus, May 2022). To strengthen links between the academic and healthcare sectors to facilitate rapid uptake of evidence into practice, Dr Martin serves on several committees including international (e.g., Interprofessional.Global Global Impact Working Group), national (e.g., AIPPEN steering committee), and local (e.g., Darling Downs Health Human Research Ethics Committee; 2017-20) committees. Dr Martin was the Australian representative on the CAIPE international liaison group for interprofessional education (2018-20); an invited member of the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Learning state-wide clinical supervision training program curriculum review committee (2013-14; 2018-19); and an invited memeber of the Central Queensland University occupational therapy curriculum development advisory group (2010-13). Dr Martin is an editorial board member for the BMC Medical Education journal, and has been a peer reviewer for the NHMRC.
