Relatives or carers of people with mental health problems have criticised professionals for their failures to share information with them. This article reports on a multiple method study comprising a policy search, a survey of service users, carers and professionals, and stakeholder interviews and group events. The study found few policies that addressed the principles underpinning information sharing with carers. However, examples of good practice in professional involvement of carers that took account of carer rights and responsibilities emerged from the research. This suggests the relevance of the carer's assessment, a carer's right to an assessment of his or her circumstances and wishes in assisting understanding of the care context and enhancing appropriate information sharing between professionals and carers.
有心理健康问题者的亲属或照料者批评专业人员未能与他们分享信息。本文报道了一项采用多种方法的研究，包括政策检索、对服务使用者、照料者和专业人员的调查，以及利益相关者访谈和小组活动。该研究发现，很少有政策涉及与照料者分享信息的基本原则。然而，研究中出现了一些在专业人员让照料者参与其中时考虑到照料者权利和责任的良好做法实例。这表明照料者评估具有相关性，即照料者有权评估自己在协助理解照料背景及加强专业人员与照料者之间适当信息共享方面的情况和意愿。
