Self-harm in custody is a well-researched phenomenon. This is particularly true for women in prison who demonstrate disproportionately high rates of self-harm. Despite the growing body of prison research, there has been a lack of service user involvement (SUI). Aims To outline the first use of SUI in a custodial setting in developing care pathways for self-harm.
A participatory action research approach was used to engage women prisoners and staff.
Participants were able to identify strengths and weaknesses of current care pathways and offer suggestions for service development based upon their experience of receiving and delivering care.
The authors conclude that despite participatory approaches being in their infancy in prisons the engagement of service users when aimed at effecting positive change can be successful.
在羁押场所中，自残是一个研究充分的现象。对于监狱中的女性来说尤其如此，她们表现出自残的比例过高。尽管监狱研究的数量不断增加，但服务使用者参与度却一直较低。
概述在发展自残护理途径中，首次在羁押场所中使用服务使用者参与度。
采用参与式行动研究方法，让女囚犯和工作人员参与进来。
参与者能够识别当前护理途径的优缺点，并根据他们接受和提供护理的经验，提出服务发展的建议。
作者得出结论，尽管参与式方法在监狱中还处于起步阶段，但旨在实现积极变革的服务使用者参与可以取得成功。
