Individuals held in mental health care facilities often have been deprived of their basic civil and legal rights. In Canada and the United States, legislation now exists to ensure the protection of these rights, and advocacy programs have been developed to apply and enforce this legislation. It is important for mental health professionals to be aware of the relevance and need for advocacy programs. Equally important is the appreciation of the structural issues involved in developing and administering advocacy programs. In examining a number of patients' rights advocacy programs, strengths, weaknesses, and general success factors are identified. Recommendations are then made for the development, implementation, and modification of advocacy programs. A review of this area indicates a need for empirical research in a number of areas, and directions for future research are discussed.
被关押在精神卫生保健机构的人往往被剥夺了基本的公民权利和法律权利。在加拿大和美国，目前已有立法来确保这些权利得到保护，并且已经制定了宣传计划来实施和执行这项立法。精神卫生专业人员了解宣传计划的相关性和必要性非常重要。同样重要的是要认识到制定和管理宣传计划所涉及的结构性问题。在研究一些患者权利宣传计划时，确定了其优点、缺点和总体成功因素。然后针对宣传计划的制定、实施和修改提出了建议。对这一领域的综述表明，在许多领域都需要进行实证研究，并讨论了未来研究的方向。
