Participatory action research (PAR) has been heralded as an important research methodology to address issues of research relevance, community involvement, democracy, emancipation and liberation. Increasingly, nurse researchers are turning to PAR as a method of choice. Although nursing interest in PAR is expanding little is known about how to successfully involve the community in research. This article attends to this dearth of information by presenting the results of a study investigating the significant elements of community involvement in PAR. Through the use of qualitative research methods, five themes emerged that describe the community participation process: (a) planning for participation, (b) the structural components of community participation, (c) living the philosophy, (d) enhancing the credibility, and (e) the type of leadership required to facilitate community participation. It is hoped that by sharing these results others may consider the knowledge gleaned from this project as they plan and proceed with the challenges and rewards inherent in PAR.
参与式行动研究（PAR）被誉为一种重要的研究方法，可用于解决研究相关性、社区参与、民主、解放等问题。越来越多的护士研究人员将PAR作为首选方法。尽管护理领域对PAR的兴趣在不断扩大，但对于如何成功让社区参与研究却知之甚少。本文通过呈现一项调查PAR中社区参与重要因素的研究结果，来填补这一信息空白。通过使用定性研究方法，出现了五个描述社区参与过程的主题：（a）参与规划；（b）社区参与的结构组成部分；（c）践行理念；（d）提高可信度；（e）促进社区参与所需的领导类型。希望通过分享这些结果，其他人在规划并应对PAR固有的挑战和回报时，可能会考虑从这个项目中收集到的知识。
