This report includes the preliminary results of a research project in which the origin, method of working and result of self-help health groups are investigated. An assessment of self-help groups in Hamburg revealed 210 disease-related, rather rehabilitatively oriented groups and 177 with life-problem-related, rather preventively effective conclusions. In an inquiry of contact persons from 47 groups it was shown that barely two thirds see their expectations fulfilled in the group. Of those questioned, 39 considered their group standing beside the care system, 3 within the system, 5 as counterinstitutions. An exploratory study of the attitude of professional helpers showed that relief of their own work by self-help groups was certainly desirable, but also mixed with the fear of becoming superfluous.
本报告包含一项研究项目的初步结果，该项目对自助健康团体的起源、运作方式及成果进行了调查。对汉堡自助团体的评估显示，有210个与疾病相关、偏向康复导向的团体，以及177个与生活问题相关、具有预防效果的团体。在对47个团体的联系人进行的调查中发现，仅有三分之二的人认为他们在团体中的期望得到了满足。在接受询问的人中，39人认为他们所在的团体独立于护理体系，3人认为在护理体系之内，5人认为是反机构。一项关于专业救助人员态度的探索性研究表明，自助团体减轻他们自身的工作负担固然是他们所期望的，但同时也夹杂着对自身变得多余的担忧。
