People with lived experience of mental illness identified key research priorities. These include improving mental health knowledge in schools and using education for recovery, like peer support.
Area of Science:
- Mental Health Research
- Patient and Public Involvement
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Patient and public involvement is crucial for aligning health research with service user needs.
- Traditionally, research agendas are driven by professionals rather than individuals with lived experience of mental illness.
- This study engaged individuals with lived experience of mental ill health in Wales to identify their research priorities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore and identify the primary research priorities of individuals with experience in mental health services.
- To ensure research is relevant and addresses the needs of people using mental health services.
- To inform the National Centre for Mental Health Research Partnership Group and other stakeholders.
Main Methods:
- A nominal group technique was employed to gather data.
- A one-day workshop titled 'Getting Involved in Research: Priority Setting' was conducted.
- Participants included individuals with lived experience of mental ill health, carers, and mental health professionals.
Main Results:
- 120 research ideas were generated by 25 participants across six workstations.
- A three-stage voting process narrowed down the ideas to two main research priorities.
- Key priorities identified were: mental health education for school-aged children and education as a tool for recovery.
Conclusions:
- Two primary research priorities were established: enhancing mental health knowledge among school-aged children to combat stigma and developing education for recovery through methods like peer support.
- A significant discussion also highlighted the need to research support for carers during a patient's recovery.
- The findings will guide future mental health research and funding initiatives.
