作者描述了一群精神分裂症患者在大学研究人员的指导下开展的参与性研究项目。参与式研究涉及研究小组成员有意义地参与研究过程的各个阶段。在这项研究中，小组成员选择了主题——与医疗专业人员的经历——以及数据收集的方法——他们彼此进行的深度访谈。他们设计并表演了一场读者剧场演示，展示了结果以及他们希望医疗专业人员如何治疗的建议。结果表明，与医疗专业人员的良好沟通对于精神分裂症患者至关重要；它帮助他们接受自己生病的事实并学会与疾病共存。该研究为小组成员提供了变革性的体验，并有助于改变严重精神疾病患者的医疗保健实践。
The authors describe a Participatory research project undertaken by a group of people with schizophrenia under the guidance of a university researcher. Participatory research involves members of the research group in meaningful participation in all stages of the research process. In this study, group members chose the topic-experiences with medical professionals-and method of data collection-in-depth interviews that they conducted with each other. They developed and performed a readers' theater presentation of the results and their recommendations for how they would like to be treated by medical professionals. The results indicate that good communication with medical professionals is essential to people with schizophrenia; it helps them accept the fact that they are ill and learn to live with the illness. The research offered a transformative experience to group members and is contributing to change in the practice of health care for people with severe mental illnesses.
