Abstract

Peer worker roles are being introduced in mental health services in the UK and internationally, to support individuals in their recovery. There is substantial qualitative evidence that demonstrates benefits at an individual level and some evidence of impact on service use and costs, although there are currently few high-quality randomised controlled trials supporting these findings, especially from the UK. A growing body of research indicates that careful consideration of organisational issues regarding the introduction of peer worker roles – the distinctiveness and shared expectations of the role, strategic alignment, organisational support – might maximise their impact. Properly supported and valued peer workers are an important resource to the multidisciplinary team, offering experiential knowledge and the ability to engage patients in their treatment through building relationships of trust based on shared lived experience.
心理健康服务中的同伴工作者:文献综述
英国和国际心理健康服务机构正在引入同伴工作者的角色,以支持个人康复。有大量的定性证据表明,在个人层面上的好处,以及对服务使用和成本的影响,尽管目前很少有高质量的随机对照试验支持这些发现,特别是来自英国。越来越多的研究表明,仔细考虑与引入同事角色有关的组织问题——角色的独特性和共同期望、战略一致性、组织支持——可能会最大限度地发挥其影响。得到适当支持和重视的同伴工作者是多学科团队的重要资源,提供经验知识和能力,通过建立基于共享生活经验的信任关系,使患者参与治疗。
