Cymrawd Ymchwil, GOFAL
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Gymrawd Ymchwil yn y Ganolfan Ymchwil Gofal Cymdeithasol i Oedolion (CARE) a'r Arweinydd Cynnwys ac Ymgysylltu'r Cyhoedd ar gyfer Rhannu Iechyd y Boblogaeth a Gofal Cymdeithasol yn y Ganolfan Treialon Ymchwil. O fewn GOFAL rwy'n arwain y grŵp thematig ar ddementia. Mae gen i arbenigedd yn y celfyddydau ac iechyd, anghydraddoldebau iechyd, cyflyrau cronig, cynnwys y cyhoedd a chyd-gynhyrchu. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn y gwahanol ffyrdd y gall rhagnodi cymdeithasol creadigol gyfrannu at les pobl hŷn o grwpiau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol. Rwy'n defnyddio dulliau ethnograffig, cyfranogol a chreadigol (megis arsylwi cyfranogwyr, Cyd-ddylunio ar sail Profiad, Ymholiad Gwerthfawrogol, Strwythurau Rhyddhaol, tynnu lluniau a fideo, colaging) i ddeall profiadau pobl hŷn o salwch, triniaeth a lles, e.e. canser, dementia, clefyd Huntingdon. Rwy'n defnyddio cynnwys ac ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd i nodi ffyrdd sy'n briodol yn ddiwylliannol i wella ymgysylltiad defnyddwyr gwasanaeth mewn gweithgareddau ymchwil ac effaith. Fy nod yw cyfrannu at ddarparu arloesedd rhad cyflymach yng ngwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol pobl hŷn trwy ymchwil gysylltiedig.
Mae gen i arbenigedd yn y pum maes canlynol:
- anghydraddoldebau iechyd ac ymgysylltu â grwpiau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol mewn ymchwil
- Cynnwys y cyhoedd a chyd-gynhyrchu
- Gwella ansawdd mewn iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol
- Methodolegau ethnograffig a chyfranogol
- Methodolegau celfyddydol ac iechyd a chreadigol
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n datblygu ceisiadau ymchwil newydd ym maes gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion gyda'r nod o fynd i'r afael ag anghenion heb eu diwallu pobl hŷn sy'n byw gyda chyflyrau cronig yn y gymuned ac mewn cartrefi gofal.
Astudiaethau gweithredol
Fi yw arweinydd cyfranogiad y cyhoedd ar gyfer Teilwra cynigion diwylliannol gyda ac ar gyfer defnyddwyr hŷn amrywiol presgripsiynu cymdeithasol (TOUS): Gwerthusiad realaidd, astudiaeth a ariennir gan UKRI MRC dan arweiniad Prifysgol Rhydychen.
Rwyf hefyd yn cyd-arwain prosiect 'Innovating Assistive Tech for Dementia: Understanding and Empowering Underrepresented Communities in Social Care' gyda Dr Roser Beneito-Montagut, a ariennir gan Rwydwaith Arloesi Cymru.
Rwyf wedi cwblhau gwaith lledaenu ar gyfer Cymrodoriaeth Arloesi yr Academi Brydeinig sy'n archwilio'r cysylltiadau polisi o bresgripsiynu cymdeithasol creadigol ar gyfer pobl hŷn sy'n profi dementia ac ynysigrwydd cymdeithasol. Roeddwn yn ymchwilio i'r prosesau o ymgorffori arloesedd trwy greadigrwydd mewn lleoliadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol fel rhan o raglen Pobl Ymchwil y Celfyddydau Iechyd (HARP).
Rwy'n olygydd cyswllt yng nghylchgrawn Arts & Health, yn gyd-gynullydd grŵp ymchwil Ymfudo, Ethinicity and Diversity (MEAD) ac yn eistedd ar dîm arwain Rhwydwaith Ymchwil Lles Sefydliad Ymchwil a Data Cymdeithasol ac Economaidd Cymru (WISERD). Rwyf hefyd yn aelod o Grŵp Cynghori Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant Cydraddoldeb Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru a gweithgor Iechyd Meddwl a Lles Byddar Cymru Gyfan. Yn 2021, cefais Wobr Amrywiaeth Cymru sy'n Gyfeillgar i Ddementia gan Gymdeithas Alzheimer Cymru a Gwobr Cynnwys y Cyhoedd gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru. Yn 2022, cefais y Wobr Dathlu Rhagoriaeth mewn Cenhadaeth Ddinesig gan Brifysgol Caerdydd. Yn 2023, cefais Wobr Teilyngdod Iawn am fy ngwaith ym maes Gwyddoniaeth, Technoleg a Gofal Iechyd gan Gymdeithas Cyflawniad Menywod Cymru o leiafrifoedd ethnig. Yn 2025 cefais fy newis i fod yn rhan o garfan Crucible GW4 ar Gymdeithasau Creadigol a Diwylliannau, Lles Diwylliannol a Chyhoeddus?

Ymchwil
Heneiddio Creadigol a Rhagnodi Cymdeithasol (Yr Academi Brydeinig)
Mae cynllun Cymrodoriaeth Arloesi yr Academi Brydeinig wedi'i gynllunio i alluogi ymchwilwyr yn y dyniaethau a'r gwyddorau cymdeithasol i weithio mewn partneriaeth â sefydliadau a busnesau yn y sectorau creadigol a diwylliannol, cyhoeddus, preifat a pholisi er mwyn mynd i'r afael â heriau sy'n gofyn am ddulliau ac atebion arloesol. Mae'n caniatáu i ymchwilydd sefydledig weithio gyda sefydliad partner yn y DU ar her bolisi neu gymdeithasol benodol. Bydd 'Heneiddio'n greadigol a rhagnodi cymdeithasol: Pontio'r bwlch rhwng defnyddwyr gwasanaeth amrywiol, darparwyr gwasanaethau a llunwyr polisi yng Nghymru', yn cael ei gynnal mewn partneriaeth â Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ac 11 o sefydliadau ledled Cymru sy'n darparu ymyriadau creadigol rhagorol i bobl hŷn.
Celfyddydau ac Iechyd (Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru)
Fi oedd prif ymchwilydd rhaglen Iechyd, Celfyddydau, Ymchwil a Phobl Y Lab (HARP). Yn y rhaglen hon, rwy'n ymchwilio i'r broses a'r effaith o ymgorffori arloesedd o fewn ymarfer y celfyddydau ac iechyd mewn 17 tîm ledled Cymru. Rwyf hefyd yn cynnull grŵp Ymchwil Cyfranogiad y Cyhoedd a Phrofiad Cleifion yn y Celfyddydau ac Iechyd (PIPER) sy'n darparu llais arbenigedd defnyddwyr gwasanaeth i'n rhaglen ymchwil ac arloesi.

Yn ddiweddar, cwblheais brosiect ymchwil ac ymgysylltu yn edrych ar brofiadau gofal dementia grwpiau tangynrychioli mewn perthynas ag ethnigrwydd, anabledd a rhywioldeb. Datblygwyd tri pherfformiad gyda mewnbwn cyfranogiad y cyhoedd i gyfleu profiadau gofal dementia cymunedau D/byddar, lleiafrifoedd ethnig a hoyw.

Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd rydw i mewn swydd ymchwil yn unig ac rwy'n cyflwyno darlithoedd gwadd ar y celfyddydau ac iechyd, dementia ac anghydraddoldebau iechyd a rhagnodi cymdeithasol.
Bywgraffiad
Rwy'n ymchwilydd gofal cymdeithasol sy'n gwneud ymchwil mewn heneiddio'n dda gyda chyflyrau cronig. Mae gen i arbenigedd yn y celfyddydau ac iechyd, anghydraddoldebau iechyd, cynnwys y cyhoedd a chyd-gynhyrchu. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn y gwahanol ffyrdd y gall rhagnodi cymdeithasol creadigol gyfrannu at les pobl hŷn o grwpiau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol. Rwy'n defnyddio dulliau ethnograffig, cyfranogol a chreadigol (megis arsylwi cyfranogwyr, Cyd-ddylunio ar sail Profiad, Ymholiad Gwerthfawrogol, Strwythurau Rhyddhaol, tynnu lluniau a fideo, colaging) i ddeall profiadau pobl hŷn o salwch, triniaeth a lles, e.e. canser, dementia, clefyd Huntingdon. Rwy'n defnyddio cynnwys ac ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd i nodi ffyrdd sy'n briodol yn ddiwylliannol i wella ymgysylltiad defnyddwyr gwasanaeth mewn gweithgareddau ymchwil ac effaith. Fy nod yw cyfrannu at ddarparu arloesedd rhad cyflymach yng ngwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol pobl hŷn trwy ymchwil gysylltiedig.
Mae gen i arbenigedd yn y pedwar maes canlynol:
1. Ymgysylltu â grwpiau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol yn y celfyddydau ac iechyd
2. Cynnwys y cyhoedd a chyd-gynhyrchu
3. Gwella ansawdd mewn iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol
4. Methodolegau ethnig, cyfranogol a chreadigol
Archwiliodd fy PhD ddealltwriaeth lleyg o salwch a defnydd planhigion meddyginiaethol ymhlith cleifion sy'n derbyn gofal meddygol o fewn ystod o ddiwylliannau. Defnyddiais ddull ethnobiolegol sy'n fethodoleg ryngddisgyblaethol sy'n cyfuno anthropoleg a bioleg sy'n ceisio pontio dealltwriaeth ddiwylliannol a biofeddygol o brosesau biolegol. Mae fy rhaglen ymchwil yn adeiladu ar hyn ac yn defnyddio methodolegau ansoddol, meintiol a gweledol i ddeall sut mae cleifion, gofalwyr a gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol yn gwneud synnwyr o salwch cronig a darpariaeth gwasanaethau yn y GIG.
Yn flaenorol, rwyf wedi arwain rhaglen ymchwil a ddefnyddiodd fethodolegau creadigol arloesol i gyflymu potensial unigryw cyfranogiad y cyhoedd wrth drawsnewid gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.
