Family members involved in a patient's hospitalization on a psychiatric research unit have special concerns related to the choice of the unit and the conduct of the patient's treatment. Based on work with 350 families of patients on a research unit, the authors describe families' motivations for choosing the unit and the expectations and misconceptions they may develop during the patient's stay. Certain interventions are specifically directed to family members' concerns about research, including providing information and education, monitoring informed consent, and working through how the family's expectations of treatment match actual treatment outcome. Most families are able to conceptualize the research approach adequately and to use the supportive relationship with the unit's family advocate to deal with their ambivalence about the approach.
参与精神科研究病房患者住院治疗的家庭成员，对病房的选择以及患者治疗的实施有着特殊的担忧。基于对一个研究病房中350名患者家属的工作，作者描述了家属选择该病房的动机，以及他们在患者住院期间可能产生的期望和误解。某些干预措施专门针对家属对研究的担忧，包括提供信息和教育、监督知情同意过程，以及解决家属对治疗的期望与实际治疗结果之间的关系。大多数家属能够充分理解研究方法，并利用与病房家属倡导者的支持性关系来处理他们对该方法的矛盾心理。
