This paper describes the responses of senior psychiatrists in Wales to a questionnaire exploring their knowledge and beliefs about patient advocacy. The results suggest mainly pro-advocacy attitudes; respondents who had not met advocacy groups involving their own patients holding attitudes almost as positive as those who had. However, despite these findings, further research is required to define the specific benefits of advocacy before further resources are diverted to the development of such services.
本文描述了威尔士资深精神科医生对一份调查问卷的答复，该问卷旨在探究他们对患者权益倡导的知识和信念。结果显示出主要支持权益倡导的态度；未接触过涉及自身患者的权益倡导团体的受访者所持态度几乎与接触过的受访者一样积极。然而，尽管有这些发现，在将更多资源转向此类服务的发展之前，仍需要进一步研究来明确权益倡导的具体益处。
