The impact of user involvement in allied healthcare education is complicated by a lack of understanding of this concept both practically and ideologically. It is important to analyse whether service users perceive taking part as an 'honour' or as 'agents of change'.
This study explored service users' perspectives of their involvement in a UK college-based physiotherapy educational programme.
A Grounded Theory approach utilising semi-structured interviews was conducted with eight of the service users who took part in the physiotherapy programme. The analysis of the interviews was carried out according to a grounded theory framework.
All the service users wished to foster a sense of a partnership and communicate what it was like on the 'other side'. Their personal agendas and possible motivation for taking part were to challenge the students assumptions regarding disability, to give something back for their healthcare and to communicate their dissatisfaction with present healthcare provision.
The participants felt that they could be instrumental in a process of change. One way to address this is to include this programme as an integral element of the current move towards life-long learning that supports their professional development in a range of authentic situations. Their reflexive dialogues with the service users can be documented as part of a reflexive portfolio with the service users as mentors.
由于对用户参与辅助医疗保健教育这一概念在实践和思想上缺乏理解，因此用户参与的影响变得复杂。重要的是要分析服务使用者是否将参与视为“荣誉”或“变革的推动者”。
本研究探讨了服务使用者对他们参与英国大学基础物理治疗教育计划的看法。
采用扎根理论方法，对参与物理治疗计划的 8 名服务使用者进行了半结构化访谈。根据扎根理论框架对访谈进行了分析。
所有服务使用者都希望培养一种伙伴关系意识，并交流他们在“另一面”的感受。他们参与的个人议程和可能的动机是挑战学生对残疾的假设，为他们的医疗保健做出贡献，并表达他们对现有医疗保健服务的不满。
参与者认为他们可以在变革过程中发挥作用。一种方法是将该计划作为当前终身学习运动的一个组成部分，以支持他们在各种真实情况下的专业发展。他们与服务使用者的反思性对话可以作为反思性投资组合的一部分记录下来，让服务使用者作为导师。
