1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe peer support worker is becoming increasingly more relevant also due to the new personnel regulations. Therefore, the question arises which individual conditions for success are available for the implementation of peer support workers.

methodThis study is a subproject of ImpPeer-Psy5 study financed by Innovation Funds, which investigates the nationwide requirements for the implementation of peer support workers in care financed by health insurance funds (German Social Act V, SGB V). Using a comparative thematic analysis, 57 problem-oriented interviews with peer support workers (PSW), employees and users as well as a focus group based on this were examined. This study was predominantly implemented by a researcher who already had experience in psychiatry and crises.

resultsFrom the perspective of the employees interviewed, sympathy and personality are the core factors for a successful implementation of peer support workers. In contrast, a professional coping with one's own crisis and recovery experience as well as diverse previous life and occupational experiences were prioritized by the PSWs.

conclusionIn order to effectively incorporate the impulse of peer support workers, a recognition of the professional identity of the PSWs is necessary. In particular, settings that separate the tasks between the professional groups in a less hierarchical manner and rely on building relationships, such as domestic treatment, are particularly suited for the implementation of PSWs.
