This article focuses on a participatory action research project as a process for improving social work practice and empowering mothers with hemophiliac children. Four stages of the action research are presented in this study. The research played a critical consciousness-raising and capacity-building role facilitating the mothers’ transformation from passive victims to active subjects. In addition, participatory action research contributed to identifying the emerging needs of families with hemophiliac children and improving the quality of social work services. We concluded that participatory action research is an effective way to empower disadvantaged people. This research methodology also facilitates social work practice in a non-traditional field. It is argued that participatory action research as a way of empowering the vulnerable also entails risks as attempts to redistribute power may earn further stigmatization and discrimination, especially from those whose existing power is challenged. Social work, as a profession committed to a more just and equal society, should be wary of this further stigmatization and insist on principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility, and respect for diversity. The article concludes by examining the limitations of employing participatory action research and makes recommendations for future programs.

参与式行动研究：促进社会工作团队与血友病儿童母亲之间的伙伴关系

本文重点关注一项参与式行动研究项目，该过程旨在改善社会工作实践并赋予母亲血友病儿童权力。本研究介绍了行动研究的四个阶段。该研究起到了关键的意识提高和能力建设的作用，促进了母亲从被动受害者到主动受试者的转变。此外，参与式行动研究有助于确定血友病儿童家庭的新需求，并提高社会工作服务的质量。我们得出结论，参与式行动研究是赋予弱势群体权力的有效途径。这种研究方法还有助于非传统领域的社会工作实践。有人认为，参与行动研究是一种增强弱势群体能力的方法，也带来了风险，因为重新分配权力的尝试可能会受到进一步的污名化和歧视，特别是受到那些现有权力受到挑战的人的歧视。作为致力于建立一个更加公正和平等的社会的职业，社会工作应警惕这种进一步的污名化，并坚持社会正义，人权，集体责任和尊重多样性的原则。文章最后总结了采用参与式行动研究的局限性，并对未来的计划提出了建议。应该警惕这种进一步的污名化，并坚持社会正义，人权，集体责任和尊重多样性的原则。文章最后总结了采用参与式行动研究的局限性，并对未来的计划提出了建议。应该警惕这种进一步的污名化，并坚持社会正义，人权，集体责任和尊重多样性的原则。文章最后总结了采用参与式行动研究的局限性，并对未来的计划提出了建议。
