Academics from health professional backgrounds have a crucial role in supporting the implementation and sustainability of academic positions for experts by experience in mental health education. Perspectives and experiences of these academics have yet to be extensively explored. A deeper understanding will add to our understanding of this important role and provide guidance for academics with similar aspirations.
The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of supporting academic positions for experts by experience in mental health education.
A qualitative exploratory design was utilised. In-depth interviews were conducted with academics who have actively supported academic positions for experts by experience.
Allyship was a key theme identified. Participants described allyship as complex, time-consuming and rewarding, through three sub-themes: the tension of allyship, the impact of being an ally and interpersonal and relational issues with health professional academics.
Allyship was influenced by the negative attitudes of many health professional academics, who do not appreciate the value of this work.
Allyship has a crucial role in enhancing experts by experience leadership in the education of health professionals. Understanding the experience of allyship will assist in further understanding and developing these important roles.
拥有健康专业背景的学者在支持有经验的专家担任心理健康教育学术职位的实施和可持续性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这些学者的观点和经验尚未得到广泛探讨。更深入地了解这一重要角色将有助于我们理解，并为有类似抱负的学者提供指导。
本研究旨在探讨支持有经验的专家担任心理健康教育学术职位的经验。
采用定性探索性设计。对积极支持有经验的专家担任学术职位的学者进行了深入访谈。
认同是确定的一个关键主题。参与者将认同描述为复杂、耗时且有益的，通过三个子主题：认同的紧张、认同的影响以及与健康专业学者的人际和关系问题。
认同受到许多健康专业学者的消极态度的影响，他们不欣赏这项工作的价值。
认同在增强有经验的专家在卫生专业人员教育中的领导力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。了解认同的经验将有助于进一步理解和发展这些重要角色。
