The aim of this paper is to report the experience of working with local parents as collaborators in an educationally focussed research study. This work subsequently led to the development of a new module aimed at professionals providing parenting support. The ensuing discussion centres on the involvement of healthcare consumers in the development of educational programmes.
Focus group interviews were held with local parents to identify their various experiences of parenting support services. In addition the interviews were used as a means of recruiting local parent volunteers willing to join the research advisory group. This group had the task of guiding both the research and development of the educational programme.
Involvement of the parents introduced fresh insights to both the understanding of the content of parent education module and the necessary ingredients needed for effective consumer involvement.
Lecturers have gained first hand experience of working collaboratively with parents in carrying out a research study and curriculum development. Three key issues emerged from this experience. These included the identification of who the consumer is, the approaches and skills required by professionals and lastly the importance of resources to support this commitment.
本文旨在报告在一项以教育为重点的研究中与当地家长作为合作者开展工作的经验。这项工作随后促成了一个针对提供育儿支持的专业人员的新模块的开发。随后的讨论集中在医疗保健消费者参与教育项目开发的问题上。
与当地家长进行焦点小组访谈，以确定他们在育儿支持服务方面的各种经历。此外，访谈还被用作招募愿意加入研究咨询小组的当地家长志愿者的一种方式。该小组的任务是指导教育项目的研究与开发。
家长的参与为理解家长教育模块的内容以及有效消费者参与所需的必要要素带来了新的见解。
讲师们在与家长合作开展研究和课程开发方面获得了第一手经验。从这一经验中出现了三个关键问题。这些问题包括确定消费者是谁、专业人员所需的方法和技能，以及最后支持这一承诺的资源的重要性。
