The aim of this work was to examine, via narrative review, the evidence supporting the drive for more peer workers to gauge the likely impact on patient outcomes.
Despite considerable research into the effectiveness of peer workers in clinical psychiatry, there is insufficient evidence to support the proposition that a substantial peer workforce would improve the outcomes of people living with mental illness.
本研究旨在通过叙述性综述,审视支持增加同伴工作者以评估其对患者治疗效果可能产生影响的证据。
尽管对同伴工作者在临床精神病学中的有效性进行了大量研究,但仍缺乏足够证据支持大量同伴工作者能改善精神疾病患者治疗效果这一观点。
