Abstract

Lived experience research is potentially useful for assisting the recovery journeys of people experiencing mental health challenges, when presented in user-friendly formats. Consumer peer workers are ideally placed to introduce such resources to the people they work with. This study sought to explore the perspectives of expert consumer peer workers on the potential use of lived experience research resources in peer work practice. In particular: (1) what research topics would be most useful; and (2) what considerations are important for developing user-friendly and useful resources using findings from this research. A hybrid Delphi study was conducted. Eighteen expert peer workers participated in online group interviews, which included a semi-structured discussion and modified nominal group technique. These were followed by two rounds of surveys, which focused on prioritising the identified topics. Participants identified 47 topics suitable for lived experience research resources, 42 of which reached consensus as useful for consumers. A priority list of topics for use in peer work was identified through examination and grouping of peer worker rankings of the usefulness of resources for their work with consumers. The highest priority topics were as follows: developing and maintaining social networks; how peer workers can support consumers in their recovery journey; having choice with medications and participating in the decision-making process; and knowing your rights and responsibilities. Participants noted, however, that the usefulness of each topic ultimately depended on individual consumer’s needs. They highlighted that a variety of formats and presentation were required to reach diverse consumer groups.
