Increasingly, consumers and carers are involving themselves in many aspects and levels of mental health services. However, one area in which active involvement has been less prominent is research. This paper describes an educational initiative that sought to increase consumers' and carers' understanding of the way research is conducted and its role in evidence-based practice. Information regarding participants' attitudes towards research, knowledge about research practice and participation was also examined. The findings provide evidence that workshop attendance increases knowledge and encourages participation in future research projects, particularly when participants have confidence in the researcher.
消费者和护理人员越来越多地参与到心理健康服务的许多方面和层面。然而，积极参与程度较低的一个领域是研究。本文描述了一项教育倡议，该倡议旨在增进消费者和护理人员对研究开展方式及其在循证实践中的作用的理解。同时还考察了关于参与者对研究的态度、研究实践知识和参与情况的信息。研究结果表明，参加研讨会能增加知识并鼓励参与未来的研究项目，特别是当参与者对研究人员有信心时。
