| Annotation | This paper examines the process of including five people with dementia and their carers in the design and delivery of a research study on the use of music to increase wellbeing for both the person with dementia and their carer. It reflects on the method of using a participatory action research (PAR) approach and offers some insight into the processes of integrated working with service users and carers. The author begins with a person-centred approach and explores the value of placing service user engagement for successful integrated practice. Through these reflections on PAR, the author offers some new lessons about what integration means to practitioners at the front line of service delivery. PAR helps to gain service user views but supports service users and providers to work in an integrated way. A person-centred approach to service user participation in the research process has valuable insights for the integration of service users in the design and delivery of health and social care. The insights offered here highlight the complex processes which make up effective engagement with service users and carers. They offer concrete details on the challenges which practitioners may face when they work to integrate service users and carers into the planning process. They also highlight the benefits of shared problem solving and control. (JL). |
