Service user involvement has become a common feature of education programmes for mental health students. However, little is known about the effects of this type of education on the interpersonal skills of students taking part. This paper reports findings from a systematic review that formed part of a wider investigation into service user involvement in teaching interpersonal skills. The review aimed to locate and assess the quality of the published evidence relating to the effects of service user involvement on mental health students interpersonal skills and to synthesize results, using a definition of interpersonal skill that includes attitudes, empathy and skills as its key components. Results from this study indicate that the quality of evidence in this area is poor. However, sufficient synthesis of the evidence base was possible to allow conclusions and recommendations for both research and practice. Conclusions were that the involvement of service users in this area is both acceptable and valuable for students and had specific impacts on attitudes, empathy and skills. Some difficulties and reservations about the style of involvement are discussed. Recommendations for the conduct of future research are also made.
服务使用者的参与已经成为精神健康学生教育计划的一个共同特征。然而，对于这种类型的教育对参与学生的人际交往能力的影响知之甚少。本文报告了一项系统评价的结果，该评价是更广泛的服务使用者参与教授人际交往技能调查的一部分。该评价旨在定位和评估与服务使用者参与对精神健康学生人际交往能力的影响有关的已发表证据的质量，并使用包括态度、同理心和技能在内的关键组成部分来综合结果。本研究的结果表明，该领域证据的质量很差。然而，对证据基础进行充分的综合是可能的，以便为研究和实践提供结论和建议。结论是，服务使用者在这方面的参与对学生来说是可以接受和有价值的，并且对态度、同理心和技能有特定的影响。还讨论了对参与方式的一些困难和保留意见。还提出了对未来研究的建议。
