Description:
This book fills an important niche in the market providing
practical expert advice on the involvement of service users
- patients, carers and the public - in nursing and
healthcare research.   An invaluable guide for anyone working
or involved in nursing and healthcare research, this book provides
a step-by-step guide to the principles and process of involvement,
including understanding the rationale for involvement, designing
involvement, working with service users, and evaluating what has
been achieved.


With illustrations, worked examples and tool sheets throughout,
this evidence-based guide uses real life examples from recent
research studies in health and social care research, thus relating
theory to practice in a meaningful way. The Handbook of Service
User Involvement in Nursing & Healthcare Research
introduces a wide range of key issues, including:




Why? Why should researchers involve service
users?




How? How can researchers and service users work
together successfully and productively?




Who? Who chooses to become involved in research?
How are issues of representation and
diversity addressed?




When? At what stage should service users be
involved in the research process?
