尽管在医疗保健不同领域的研究重点设置方面投入了大量资金，但人们对不同利益相关者群体共享研究重点的程度知之甚少。冲突的优先级可能会危及利益相关者对研究的参与。确定精神卫生保健中不同利益相关者群体的研究重点，并检查他们之间协议的程度和性质。使用德尔菲技术，我们在四个不同的利益相关者群体中进行了平行的咨询过程。每组过程由三轮组成。这项研究是在英格兰南部的一家心理健康和学习障碍信托基金内进行的。参与者来自以下群体：心理健康服务使用者（34人）、非正式照顾者（26人）、心理健康从业人员（35人）和服务管理人员（23人）。这四组人在做出优先决定的能力和意愿方面存在显著差异。尽管存在这些差异，但在他们的研究兴趣方面有相当大的重叠。所有团体都确定并高度重视与促进独立、自尊和康复有关的问题。住院治疗的质量、心理治疗的位置以及身心健康之间的关系也全面出现。围绕若干明确主题的四个不同利益攸关方团体的汇合非常令人鼓舞，提供了一个框架，在此框架内构建研究议程，并表明精神卫生研究可以建立在坚实的伙伴关系基础上。
Despite considerable investment in research priority setting within diverse fields of healthcare, little is known about the extent to which different stakeholder groups share research priorities. Conflicting priorities may jeopardize stakeholder engagement in research.To identify the research priorities of different stakeholder groups within mental health care and examine the extent and nature of agreement between them.Using a Delphi technique, we conducted parallel consultation processes within four different stakeholder groups. Each group process consisted of three rounds.The study was carried out within a mental health and learning disabilities trust in southern England. Participants were recruited from the following groups: mental health service users (34), informal carers (26), mental health practitioners (35) and service managers (23).There were striking differences between the four groups in respect of their ability and willingness to make priority decisions. These differences notwithstanding, there was considerable overlap in respect of their research interests. All groups identified and attached high importance to issues relating to the promotion of independence, self-esteem and recovery. The quality of in-patient care, the place of psychological therapies and the relationship between physical and mental health also emerged across the board.The confluence of four different stakeholder groups around a number of clear themes is highly encouraging, providing a framework within which to construct a research agenda and suggesting that mental health research can be built on solid partnerships.
