Peer mentor contributions to an early intervention vocational rehabilitation specialist service following trauma: A qualitative study.
Background: Peer mentors have a role in facilitating the participation, health and well-being of people who have had a traumatic injury. Few studies have explored the involvement of peer mentors in an early intervention vocational rehabilitation (EIVR) service following trauma.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the experience of implementing peer support within the context of an EIVR service from the perspectives of the peer mentors themselves, the vocational therapists supervising them, and the patients that received peer mentoring.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty participants from three groups: peer mentors (n = 4); vocational therapists (n = 3); and patients who received the EIVR intervention (n = 24). Data were thematically analysed.
Results: Three themes were identified: The value of peer input in an EIVR service, The facilitators impacting the value of peer involvement as part of the EIVR service, The challenges impacting peer input as part of an EIVR service.
Conclusions: The inclusion of peer mentors early after major traumatic injury was a unique and valuable addition to the EIVR service. Offering peer support early on in rehabilitation enabled patients to gain a sense of hope for their future, and the expectation that returning to work was a realistic option. The careful selection of peer mentors, and ensuring they receive adequate preparation and ongoing supervision are vital to support their well-being during the intervention. Aiming to match peer mentors with similar injuries and work backgrounds to patients is an important contributor to the likely ongoing engagement of the mentee with the mentor.
