本研究通过对同伴提供者和非同伴精神卫生工作者的定性访谈，探讨了同伴服务融入社区精神卫生环境的问题。结果表明，同行的工作满意度取决于角色的清晰度，自主性，并接受非同行同事。心理健康工作者报告说，需要组织支持同行服务和指导如何利用同行，谈判他们的专业界限，并满足他们的心理健康需求。有效的同侪融合需要组织准备、工作人员准备以及明确的政策和程序。来自消费者组织的咨询、增强的专业能力以及同行的专业发展和职业提升机会是重要的资源。
This study explored the integration of peer services into community mental health settings through qualitative interviews with peer-providers and non-peer mental health workers. Results show peer job satisfaction was contingent upon role clarity, autonomy, and acceptance by non-peer coworkers. Mental health workers reported the need for organizational support for peer services and guidance about how to utilize peers, negotiate their professional boundaries and accommodate their mental health needs. Effective peer integration requires organizational readiness, staff preparation and clear policies and procedures. Consultation from consumer-based organizations, enhanced professional competencies, and professional development and career advancement opportunities for peers represent important resources.
