Abstract
Flexible and integrative treatment (FIT) services in Germany make it possible to shift mental health inpatient care to day- and outpatient care. This paper presents the results of the mixed methods, participatory process evaluation (= PE) of the PsychCare clinical trial, which compares the outcomes of nine FIT departments to those of eight standard mental health care services. This PE integrates diverse data using a program theory and data transformation approach. It shows various implementation types of FIT services and how their processes and structures are distinct from those of control conditions, also experienced by service users. It contributes to mixed methods research by showing that the PE methodological frame is a valuable tool to effectively involve service users and other stakeholders.
德国的灵活综合治疗(FIT)服务使精神疾病住院治疗转为日间和门诊治疗成为可能。本文介绍了 "心理护理"(PsychCare)临床试验的混合方法参与式过程评估(=PE)的结果,该评估比较了九个 FIT 部门与八个标准心理保健服务部门的结果。该参与式过程评估采用项目理论和数据转换方法整合了各种数据。它展示了 FIT 服务的各种实施类型,以及它们的流程和结构与对照条件下的流程和结构的不同之处,这些也是服务使用者所体验到的。该研究表明,PE 方法框架是有效吸引服务使用者和其他利益相关者参与的重要工具,从而为混合方法研究做出了贡献。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research serves as a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research. Of primary importance will be building an international and multidisciplinary community of mixed methods researchers. The journal''s scope includes exploring a global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR invites articles from a wide variety of international perspectives, including academics and practitioners from psychology, sociology, education, evaluation, health sciences, geography, communication, management, family studies, marketing, social work, and other related disciplines across the social, behavioral, and human sciences.
