本文所述的研究是一个为期三年的探索性描述性研究，以探讨如何有意义的参与（MIPA）的概念化和经验，在加拿大沿海省份的农村地区。本文的重点是研究的一个方面，即，是什么促使加拿大农村地区的艾滋病服务组织（ASO）的客户积极参与？我们采访了34人，他们是加拿大海事部ASO的过去或现在的客户，他们自我报告为从事艾滋病毒高危行为或感染艾滋病毒。访谈探讨了参与者对他们有意义地参与阿索的动机的看法。关于MIPA的动机，揭示了三个主题：（1）满足个人需求;（2）对他人有所作为;（3）认识到他们的技能，目标，需求与阿索内的机会和经验以及与其他阿索客户之间的契合。参与者通常提到不止一个动机。这项研究有助于了解MIPA的动机，其中它揭示了（1）MIPA被农村阿索客户概念化为任何参与为他们提供个人意义（即，通过满足个人需要，通过有所作为，通过认识到适合）和（2）阿索工作人员和志愿者在促进和维持MIPA方面的重要作用。该研究还强调了参与的轨迹，支持ASO需要承担作为MIPA的广泛角色。
The research described herein was a three-year exploratory descriptive study to examine how meaningful involvement (MIPA) is conceptualized and experienced in rural regions of the Maritime provinces of Canada. The focus of this paper is one aspect of the research; i.e., what motivates the clients of AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) in rural Canada to become meaningfully involved? We interviewed 34 people who were past or current clients of ASOs in Maritime Canada and who self-reported as engaging in at-risk behaviors for HIV or living with HIV. The interviews explored participants' perspectives about their motives for becoming meaningfully involved in an ASO. Three themes regarding motives for MIPA were revealed: (1) meeting personal needs; (2) making a difference to others; and (3) recognizing a fit between their skills, goals, needs and the opportunities and experiences within the ASO and with other ASO clients. Participants generally cited more than one motive. This research study contributed to the field of knowledge about the motives for MIPA in which it reveals (1) that MIPA was conceptualized by the rural ASO clients as whatever participation provided them personal meaning (i.e., by fulfilling a personal need, by making a difference, and by recognizing a fit) and (2) the important role that ASO staff and volunteers have in fostering and sustaining MIPA. The study also highlighted a trajectory of involvements that support the need for ASOs to entertain a wide range of roles that are assumed as MIPA.
