调查卫生研究人员对公众参与研究的态度。英国卫生部鼓励公众参与研究。尽管如此，积极让公众参与研究的卫生研究人员的数量似乎有限。很少有研究专门讨论卫生研究人员对公众参与的态度：他们如何解读这项政策，是什么激励和抑制了他们的动机，以及他们迄今的经历是什么。采用半结构化电话采访的定性研究设计。15名有目的地抽样的英国大学卫生研究人员是参与者。访谈是通过电话进行的。参与者提出了公众参与研究的不同结构。与会者提出了基于道德和政治原则的论点，以及让公众参与研究的结果主义论点，大多数与会者强调了让公众参与研究的潜在好处。然而，一些参与者表达的担忧情绪表明，一些研究人员可能仍然对公众参与感到不舒服，因为这代表了一种不同的工作方式。
To investigate health researchers' attitudes to involving the public in research.Public involvement in research is encouraged by the Department of Health in the UK. Despite this, the number of health researchers actively involving the public in research appears to be limited. There is little research specifically addressing the attitudes of health researchers towards involving the public: how they interpret the policy, what motivates and de-motivates them and what their experiences have been to date.A qualitative research design, using semi-structured telephone interviews.Fifteen purposively sampled UK-based University health researchers were the participants. Interviews were conducted over the telephone.The participants suggested varying constructions of public involvement in research. Arguments based on moral and political principles and consequentialist arguments for involving the public in research were offered and most participants highlighted the potential benefits of involving the public. However, feelings of apprehension expressed by some participants imply that a number of researchers may still be uncomfortable with involving the public, as it presents a different way of working.
