Seminar 4: Methods for partnering well with consumers in our research teams: climbing Arnsteins ladder
On September 29, the Department of Nursing was delighted to have Associate Professor Bridget Hamilton present at the fourth and final event in our 2022 Nursing Event Series.
In this webinar, A/Prof Bridget Hamilton completed the series by discussing the art and science of participation through exploring strategies for co-producing research with mental health consumers. Academic work of mental health nursing and consumer academics together over 15 years were explored to demonstrate methods of planning and conducting work that aims at the higher end of "Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation"; selected studies which introduce novel strategies developed for stimulating creative solutions in practice settings and for avoiding tokenism and dilution of LE contributions. The range of research, benefitting from partnership, includes literature reviews, qualitative and quantitate evaluations of models of care, and theoretical/methods papers.
