摘要

Peer support workers (PWs), that is employees with psychiatric experience in social psychiatric institutions, face many professional challenges that, depending on their duration, intensity and individual circumstances, can lead to negative stress outcomes. However, little is known about PW’s job-related personal resources, risk factors and coping strategies. Based on the salutogenesis model, potentially relevant factors were identified and 135 PW were interviewed in an anonymous online survey. The PWs identified strongly with their work, were solution-oriented, socially competent, and used multiple self-care strategies. They also scored high on neuroticism. A small group reported a lack of ability to set boundaries. Overall, the PWs were rather resilient, and the result on their situation may be useful for the promotion of occupational health in the socio-psychiatric field.

Practical Relevance: The way in which burden is dealt with is essential for well-being. The new professional group of PWs is exposed to several specific burdens, such as being stigmatized or having to deal publicly with their own history of illness. An overview of how PWs deal with these issues can help to identify measures that can be helpful in the successful implementation.
