Abstract：
BACKGROUND: An embedded single case-study design was used to explore the experiences of men in rural New Zealand accessing mental health services. It is essential for researchers to acknowledge positionality in case study research and the lead author used reflexive practice to acknowledge his values and beliefs.
OBJECTIVE: To explore and demonstrate the reflexive process of the lead author\'s position as an inside researcher.
CONCLUSIONS: Three groups were involved in the research: men with mental health challenges, their partners, and mental health clinicians. The article presents the initial research through memos and diarying in the context of current literature.
CONCLUSIONS: Reflexivity is essential for ensuring the research process is complete and biases are identified. Positionality exists on a continuum and it is critical for researchers to be honest with themselves, the topic and the group being investigated, to show respect for the participants and the people they represent, as well as to be committed to revealing the truth.
CONCLUSIONS: Insider research has the potential to bridge the gap between academia and practice. It facilitates the transfer of research knowledge directly to practitioners, leading to more evidence-informed decision-making and practice.

摘要：
背景：使用嵌入式单案例研究设计来探索新西兰农村男性获得心理健康服务的经验。研究人员必须承认案例研究中的定位性，并且主要作者使用反身实践来承认他的价值观和信念。
目的：探讨和论证第一作者作为内部研究者的反身过程。
结论：三组参与了这项研究：有心理健康挑战的男性，他们的合作伙伴,和心理健康临床医生。本文通过备忘录和日记在当前文献的背景下进行了初步研究。
结论：反身性对于确保研究过程完成和确定偏差至关重要。定位存在于一个连续统一体上，研究人员对自己诚实是至关重要的，被调查的主题和小组，为了尊重参与者和他们所代表的人，以及致力于揭示真相。
结论：内幕研究有可能弥合学术界和实践之间的差距。它促进了研究知识直接向从业人员的转移，导致更多的循证决策和实践。
