The definitions of the roles of peer support workers (PSWs) are unclear, creating one of the main challenges to PSWs' successful involvement in mental health care. In this empirical qualitative study conducted in the Czech Republic, four common roles of PSWs (N=15) were identified: friend, professional, staff member, and expert-by-experience. Conflicts were observed between the roles of friend and professional and between staff member and expert-by-experience. These conflicts may have a detrimental effect on the PSWs' well-being. The authors therefore call on organizations to prioritize regular supervision, team education, clear definition of the PSW position within an organization, and the destigmatization of people with mental illness in mental health services.
同伴支持工作者（PSW）角色的定义不明确，这成为PSW成功参与精神卫生保健的主要挑战之一。在捷克共和国进行的这项实证定性研究中，确定了PSW的四种常见角色（N = 15）：朋友、专业人员、工作人员和经验专家。观察到朋友和专业人员的角色之间以及工作人员和经验专家的角色之间存在冲突。这些冲突可能会对PSW的幸福感产生不利影响。因此，作者呼吁各组织优先进行定期监督、团队教育、明确组织内PSW的职位定义，以及消除精神卫生服务中对精神疾病患者的污名化。
