Patient and public involvement (PPI) is a priority for health research. PPI improves the relevance and quality of research. The study aimed to involve service users in identifying research priorities for the service. A two-phase adapted Delphi technique was used to generate a list of research topics from service users in secure in-patient mental health settings and on specialist mental health prison wings. Topic content analysis was undertaken. Service users were further consulted, and research themes were ranked in order of priority.
Of the eight research themes identified, the three given the highest priority by service users were, in descending order, physical health, future plans and moving on, and causes of illness and crime.
Service users are willing to be involved in setting research priorities for mental health services. Through non-tokenistic PPI, service users can uniquely shape the research agenda of mental health services.
患者及公众参与(PPI)是健康研究的重点。PPI可提高研究的相关性和质量。该研究旨在让服务使用者参与确定该服务的研究重点。采用两阶段适应性德尔菲技术,从安全的住院心理健康机构和专业心理健康监狱病房的服务使用者中生成一份研究主题清单。进行了主题内容分析。进一步咨询了服务使用者,并按优先顺序对研究主题进行了排序。
在确定的八个研究主题中,服务使用者给予最高优先级的三个主题依次为身体健康、未来计划与继续前行以及疾病与犯罪的成因。
服务使用者愿意参与确定心理健康服务的研究重点。通过非象征性的PPI,服务使用者能够独特地塑造心理健康服务的研究议程。
