This Australian study provides insight into the meaning that former consumers involved in the education and training of mental health staff attributed to their role.
Interviews were conducted with 11 consumer educators and were analysed using a qualitative phenomenological approach.
Five themes emerged from the interviews including: giving of self; tokenism; learned versus lived experience; voyeurism; and lack of clear expectations.
The findings highlight the need for ongoing critical review of the way in which consumer educators are engaged in the education and training of mental health professionals.
这项澳大利亚的研究深入探讨了参与心理健康工作人员教育与培训的 former consumers 对自身角色的理解。
对11名消费者教育者进行了访谈，并采用定性现象学方法进行分析。
访谈中出现了五个主题，包括：自我奉献；形式主义；所学与亲身经历；窥淫癖；以及缺乏明确期望。
研究结果凸显了对消费者教育者参与心理健康专业人员教育与培训方式进行持续批判性审视的必要性。
