Abstract

The value of experts by experience within the field of intellectual disabilities is receiving greater recognition. This study explored the experiences of peer trainers regarding the impact of being a (1) trainee in a train the trainer course (n = 9), and (2) peer trainer in a Dutch training course (n = 6) aimed towards the self-growth of people with intellectual disabilities. In addition to examining the experiences of peer trainers themselves, we investigated the perspective of coaches (n = 4) regarding the experiences of peer trainers. Peer trainers and coaches were questioned using individual and group interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes were identified: (1) Growing and flourishing, (2) Performing a meaningful role for your peer and (3) Experiencing reciprocity and a sense of belonging. Working as a peer trainer was valuable and produced several benefits, ranging from increased self-confidence to feelings of belonging and reciprocity.

智障人士担任同伴教员及其教练：荷兰培训课程的影响和经验

在智障领域，经验专家的价值正得到越来越多的认可。本研究探讨了同伴培训者的经历，了解他们作为（1）培训者培训课程的受训者（人数=9）和（2）荷兰培训课程的同伴培训者（人数=6）对智障人士自我成长的影响。除了研究同伴培训员自身的经历外，我们还调查了教练（4 人）对同伴培训员经历的看法。我们通过个人访谈和小组访谈对同伴教员和教练进行了询问。我们采用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。确定了三个主题：(1)成长和发展，(2)为同伴扮演有意义的角色，(3)体验互惠和归属感。担任同伴培训员的工作很有价值，并能带来多种益处，包括增强自信心、归属感和互惠感。
