“…The value of listening to experiences grounded in reality is well documented in the literature (Agnew and Duffy, 2010;Furness et al, 2011;Khoo et al, 2004;Price, 2004;Rush, 2008;Stickley et al, 2009). This also echoes my own feelings about user involvement that its authenticity is its strength, resulting in meaningful and memorable learning.…”

“…Additionally Furness et al (2007) found that students valued hearing from people who were able to tell them what they had been through. Furthermore, Agnew and Duffy (2010) and Price (2004) found that integration of theory and practice was facilitated by hearing stories direct from service users. This affirmed my views that involvement has a lasting impact on students with the likelihood that this will impact on their actions in practice.…”

This paper reports on a study that aimed to conduct an in-depth investigation into the impact of user involvement on student learning and subsequent influence on practice as a qualified nurse. This was undertaken through a single case study that followed a narrative inquiry approach UK policy has recommended user involvement in healthcare education for a number of years; this has in turn increased requirements for involvement from Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2010) now requires programme providers to clearly demonstrate how service users and carers contribute to programme design, delivery and assessment.Although the literature base is expanding there remains limited evidence of the impact of involvement on student learning and improved outcomes for patients.Narratives were collected from a children's nursing student on completion of her three year education programme and again after practising as a qualified children's nurse for one year. Taking part in the research enabled the participant to consider and reflect on her experience of user involvement in her nurse education. Analysis followed an interpretive approach utilising 'The Listening Guide' (Douchet & Mauthner 2008) with the researcher's interpretation of how the experience was conveyed with clear acknowledgement of reflexivity. The findings identified central themes of authenticity, knowledge of self, resilience and coping, professional relationships, personalisation of care and influence on practice. This demonstrates transformative 2 learning and support to practice, with preparation for situations and ideas on how to respond with empathy and compassion. This paper contributes to the emerging evidence base specifically from a children's nursing perspective, an area with a dearth of published material. Further research with a range of students is required to explore the lasting impact on practice.

“…Carey (2009) recognises that user involvement in the UK has developed rapidly in recent years and has produced a new culture where users are encouraged to participate. There are many examples of successful user involvement in the development of, for example, social work education (Agnew and Duffy, 2010) and clinical guidelines (Gould and Kendall, 2007) and many different approaches taken. Service users may be recruited by policy makers and asked to comment on services or strategies as in this project; or service users themselves may seek opportunities for participation such as the work of the Scottish Dementia Working Group discussed below.…”

“…A process evaluation, of a strategy for involvement in the design and delivery of mental health nursing, identified involvement to be crucial to the development of mental health nurse education (Masters 2002). Agnew & Duffy (2010) report the findings of an evaluation of two methods of user involvement in palliative care teaching in social work education. The research found that hearing stories direct from service users facilitated integration of theory to practice, in social work students.…”

“…A further structured review of the literature on service user involvement in healthcare education (Morgan & Jones, 2009) reviewed 41 papers, 13 relating to medical education and 12 to mental health nursing. The ever increasing literature base tentatively contributes to the evidence demonstrating the value of involvement (Agnew & Duffy, 2010;Furness et al, 2010;Gutteridge & Dobbins, 2010;Rush, 2008;Simons et al, 2007;Simpson et al, 2008 andStickley et al, 2009). …”

SUMMARYThis paper presents an evaluative discussion of the literature, and findings from a concept analysis which explores user involvement in the context of health and social care higher education in the United Kingdom. User involvement is increasingly a requirement in higher education and the purpose of the concept analysis was to clarify and elucidate the meaning and nature of the concept. Walker and Avant's (2005) eight step framework for concept analysis was used to provide understanding of the underlying attributes and a model for critique and meaningful evaluation and research. A structured search and discussion of contemporary literature was undertaken. A model case is identified along with antecedents, critical attributes and consequences.
