To discuss the application of the principles of participatory action research (PAR) in a project that developed and evaluated a mentor-mentee support programme for women with anorexia nervosa.
A programme was developed and implemented in which mentors and mentees participated in workshops, social activities and focus groups that sought to support and develop resilience for those experiencing anorexia nervosa.
PAR principles were mirrored in the programme, paying respect to the views and needs of each participant, an open trajectory to possible conclusions and a continuous feedback cycle. Mentees had a sense of empowerment, ownership of the programme and hope that recovery was possible. It allowed their voices to be heard and provided them with belief they could begin new relationships and friendships.
The principles of PAR suited a project aimed at developing self-determination and resilience in women with anorexia nervosa.
IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH/PRACTICE: PAR would be readily transferable to a number of mental health settings where empowerment is of paramount concern.
探讨参与式行动研究（PAR）原则在一个为神经性厌食症女性开发并评估导师-学员支持项目中的应用。
开发并实施了一个项目，其中导师和学员参与了工作坊、社交活动和焦点小组，旨在为那些患有神经性厌食症的人提供支持并培养复原力。
该项目反映了PAR原则，尊重每个参与者的观点和需求，对可能的结论采用开放的路径，并形成持续的反馈循环。学员们有了赋权感、对项目的主人翁意识以及康复有望的信念。这让她们的声音被听到，并使她们相信自己可以开始新的人际关系和友谊。
PAR原则适用于一个旨在培养神经性厌食症女性的自我决定权和复原力的项目。
对研究/实践的启示：PAR可以很容易地应用于许多将赋权视为首要关注点的心理健康环境中。
