The aim of this study was to evaluate an innovation where service users and carers were involved in the recruitment of child and adult nursing students. Seventy candidates, four service users and carers and six academics who had been involved in the selection process took part in the study. A short questionnaire was administered to the nursing candidates. Two semi structured group interviews were undertaken, one with the service users and carers and another with the academics. Findings reveal that the involvement of service users and carers in student recruitment was largely viewed positively with all three major stakeholders supporting it. Nevertheless the academics were also mindful of the difficulties that may be encountered in the process. The key message to emerge from this study is that service user and carer involvement in student selection is not without its challenges but with careful planning can be beneficial for all involved.
本研究旨在评估一项创新举措，即让服务使用者和照顾者参与儿童和成人护理学生的招募工作。共有 70 名候选人、4 名服务使用者和照顾者以及 6 名参与选拔过程的学者参与了这项研究。护理候选人填写了一份简短的问卷。进行了两次半结构化小组访谈，一次是与服务使用者和照顾者进行的，另一次是与学者进行的。研究结果表明，服务使用者和照顾者参与学生招聘的工作得到了广泛的积极评价，所有三个主要利益相关者都支持这一举措。然而，学者们也意识到在这个过程中可能会遇到的困难。本研究的主要结论是，让服务使用者和照顾者参与学生选拔并非没有挑战，但如果经过精心规划，对所有相关方都将是有益的。
