This study examined certified peer specialists' perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to mobile health (mHealth) engagement. A total of 267 certified peer specialists from 38 states completed an online survey. Of this sample, 74 certified peer specialists completed open-ended questions. Data were analyzed from the 74 respondents who responded to open-ended questions. Certified peer specialists identified previously unidentified facilitators including the augmented use of certified peer specialists in combination with mHealth to improve engagement. One emerging theme identified was the belief that mHealth interventions may promote social isolation if not designed appropriately. Certified peer specialists refer using tablets instead of smartphones. Integrating certified peer specialists' perspectives of barriers and facilitators to mHealth engagement may promote initial and sustained mHealth engagement among consumers with serious mental illness. Future research using implementation science frameworks should examine these previously identified barriers and facilitators to mHealth engagement as correlates and/or predictors of engagement among service users.
本研究调查了认证同伴专家对移动健康（mHealth）参与的障碍和促进因素的看法。来自38个州的267名认证同伴专家完成了一项在线调查。在这个样本中，74名认证同伴专家回答了开放式问题。对回答开放式问题的74名受访者的数据进行了分析。认证同伴专家识别出了先前未被发现的促进因素，包括增加认证同伴专家与移动健康相结合的使用以提高参与度。确定的一个新出现的主题是，如果设计不当，移动健康干预措施可能会加剧社会隔离。认证同伴专家建议使用平板电脑而非智能手机。整合认证同伴专家对移动健康参与的障碍和促进因素的看法，可能会促进患有严重精神疾病的消费者最初和持续的移动健康参与。未来使用实施科学框架的研究应将这些先前确定的移动健康参与障碍和促进因素作为服务使用者参与度的相关因素和/或预测因素进行研究。
