OBJECTIVE
Peer support centers are an ideal setting where people with severe mental illnesses can access the Internet via computers for online health education, peer support, and behavioral treatments. The purpose of this study was to assess computer use and Internet access in peer support agencies.
METHOD
A peer-assisted survey assessed the frequency with which consumers in all 13 New Hampshire peer support centers (n = 702) used computers to access Internet resources. During the 30-day survey period, 200 of the 702 peer support consumers (28%) responded to the survey.
RESULTS
More than 3 quarters (78.5%) of respondents had gone online to seek information in the past year. About half (49%) of respondents were interested in learning about online forums that would provide information and peer support for mental health issues.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE
Peer support centers may be a useful venue for Web-based approaches to education, peer support, and intervention. Future research should assess facilitators and barriers to use of Web-based resources among people with severe mental illness in peer support centers. (PsycINFO Database Record
目的
同伴支持中心是一个理想的环境，患有严重精神疾病的人可以通过计算机访问互联网，进行在线健康教育、同伴支持和行为治疗。本研究的目的是评估同伴支持机构中计算机的使用和互联网接入情况。
方法
一项同伴协助调查评估了新罕布什尔州所有 13 个同伴支持中心（n = 702）中消费者使用计算机访问互联网资源的频率。在 30 天的调查期间，702 名同伴支持消费者中有 200 名（28%）回应了调查。
结果
超过 3 个季度（78.5%）的受访者在过去一年中曾上网搜索信息。约一半（49%）的受访者有兴趣了解在线论坛，这些论坛将为心理健康问题提供信息和同伴支持。
结论和对实践的意义
同伴支持中心可能是基于网络的教育、同伴支持和干预措施的有用场所。未来的研究应该评估在同伴支持中心中，严重精神疾病患者使用基于网络的资源的促进因素和障碍。
