The goal of this exploratory study was to identify and describe notable cases of consumer involvement in Australian health research to generate insights and concepts, and assist others to develop and build capacity in this area.
In-depth interviews were conducted with nine organisations known to be active in this area. The interviews were supplemented with content analysis of relevant documentation to further examine involvement strategies.
Key attributes that aid consumer involvement competence and contribute to success in this area are identified, including the availability of time, resources and supporting policies, principles and attitudes that securely back opportunities for consumers to be involved in meaningful ways.
This study provides an important contribution to our knowledge and understanding of consumer involvement practice in Australian health research. The examples do not offer definitive approaches but rather highlights and lessons drawn from experiences in consumer involvement across a diverse range of organisations.
本探索性研究旨在确定并描述澳大利亚健康研究中消费者参与的显著案例，以获得相关见解和概念，并帮助其他人在这一领域发展和增强能力。
对已知在该领域活跃的 9 个组织进行了深入访谈。访谈内容还结合了相关文献的内容分析，以进一步研究参与策略。
确定了有助于消费者参与能力的关键属性，并有助于该领域的成功，包括时间、资源和支持政策、原则和态度的可用性，这些政策、原则和态度为消费者提供了以有意义的方式参与的机会。
本研究为我们了解和理解澳大利亚健康研究中的消费者参与实践做出了重要贡献。这些例子并没有提供明确的方法，而是从不同组织的消费者参与经验中突出和吸取了经验教训。
