简要总结
The role of peer support specialists (PSS) has burgeoned in the mental health field. Peer support specialists are individuals with a psychiatric condition who are in recovery and who are employed to provide various kinds of tangible and other supports to individuals with psychiatric conditions, generally in public mental health programs. Partially because of the newness of this role, PSS experience confusion about their role and tasks as well as conflict with other mental health providers who are uncertain about how to utilize PSS effectively in services.
This project was designed to bring a coaching service to PSS to assist them to address challenges in their job. The investigators will conduct a randomized control trial to evaluate a novel coaching, Coaching and Advancement for Peer Providers (CAPP). Our hypotheses are that individuals participating in the CAPP intervention will experience a reduction in burnout, role confusion, and intention to leave their job or the field. Participants in CAPP will also experience an increase in job satisfaction, role clarity and organizational commitment.

The role of peer support specialists (PSS) has burgeoned in the mental health field. Peer support specialists are individuals with a psychiatric condition who are in recovery and who are employed to provide various kinds of tangible and other supports to individuals with psychiatric conditions, generally in public mental health programs. Partially because of the newness of this role, PSS experience confusion about their role and tasks as well as conflict with other mental health providers who are uncertain about how to utilize PSS effectively in services.
This project was designed to bring a coaching service to PSS to assist them to address challenges in their job. There are three phases of this study:
- The investigators will test components of the intervention with volunteers who are peer specialists. The investigators will collect no data from these individuals and will use the information gathered to refine the intervention.
- Next, the investigators will recruit and randomly assign 140 PSS to participate in this newly developed coaching intervention (Coaching and Advancement for Peer Providers, or CAPP) and to assess their level of role confusion, overload, burnout, and intention to leave their job or their profession.
- Finally, the investigators will conduct a qualitative study of experimental study participants to learn about the experience of CAPP.
Individuals will be randomly assigned to receive CAPP or an informational control group. A total of 16 CAPP sessions will be conducted with coaches that the investigators train and supervise. This will be a telehealth intervention and study. That is, all consenting and coaching sessions will be conducted using platforms such as Zoom (HIPAA compliant version) and assessments will be collected using online platforms (REDCap). Individuals will be assessed at baseline, 4, 6, and 9 months after baseline. The investigators will record selected coaching sessions to insure that the intervention is being delivered with fidelity. Our hypotheses are that individuals participating in the CAPP intervention will experience a reduction in burnout, role confusion, and intention to leave their job or the field. Participants in CAPP will also experience an increase in job satisfaction, role clarity and organizational commitment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Enhanced control
The "enhanced" control condition will include 1 generic informational session conducted by a CAPP coach.During that session, the coach will introduce the key concepts under study and provide information about the drivers of burnout and role stress. The CAPP coach will discuss the need to set goals to overcome these challenges and will provide one article via email describing burnout and role stressors that is suitable for a lay person.
干预措施: Coaching and Advancement for Peer Providers (CAPP) (Behavioral)
Coaching and Achievement of Peer Providers (CAPP)
CAPP will consist of 16 individualized, one-on-one sessions using Zoom or other videoconferencing software and occurring over a 4-month period. Coaching meetings will take approximately one hour per week. The coach will tailor and individualize the modules and time spent on modules to meet the goals of each peer provider.
Modules:
Module 1: Establishing and solidifying the working alliance, understanding the work setting and role Module 2: Understand Generic drivers of burnout and role stress Module 3: Discuss specific sources of role stressors and burnout Module 4: Set SMART Goals Module 5: Overcome challenges for workplace success Module 6: Develop Skills for Workplace Success Module 7: Managing co-worker and supervisory relations in the workplace Module 8: Wrap-up sessions
During the first stage of research, the CAPP intervention will be further developed and refined, prior to the Randomized clinical trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Effort-Reward Imbalance Scale-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Examines role over load and related concepts, including role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload. Range: 16-64, higher values indicate higher imbalance.
Goal Attainment Scaling-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Goal Attainment Scale provides a structured approach to determining goal achievement regardless of the type or uniqueness of goal. As part of the intervention, individuals will be asked to set two work related goals (from a preestablished list of goals) that addresses their source of distress. At followup, participants will be asked to assess their progress using the Goal Attainment Scale (-2: much lower than expected; 0: expected goal achievement; +2: much higher than expected).
Three Component Organizational Commitment Scale-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
The three component organization commitment scale evaluates affective, continuance, and normative commitment to an organization. Affective components assess the desire of an employee to remain with an organization ("I would be very happy to spend the rest of my career with this organization") while continuance commitment assesses the person's need to remain with the organization ("It would be very hard for me to leave my organization right now, even if I wanted to"). Finally, normative commitment assesses the person feeling that they should remain with the organization ("I think that people these days move from company to company too often"). Items are measured on a 7-point scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
Turnover intention-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Three items from the Intention-to-Leave scale (XXX \& Levin, 2006) e.g., "In the next few months I intend to leave this organization" will be used to capture turnover intention. Items are rated on a 7-point, Likert-type scale ranging from "Strongly Disagree" (1) to "Strongly Agree" (7). In addition, the investigators will also examine actual job turnover at all assessment time periods.
Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
This scale assesses multiple facets of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and sense of personal accomplishment. Items are rated based on frequency of their occurrence from "Never" to "Every Day" and include: "I feel emotionally drained from my work," "I have accomplished many worthwhile things in this job," "I don't really care what happens to some recipients." Scores range from 0-132, with high scores indicating higher burnout.
Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Short Form-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Measures engagement in one's work. The scale measures vigor, dedication and absorption at work. Items include "I am proud of the work I do" and "I am immersed in my work". Respondents answer on a 7-point scale ranging from Never to Always.
Quality of Work Life (QWL)-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Select items from the QWL. The QWL captures many aspects of work life; including various aspects of Work Climate, such as: Safety, Discrimination, Harassment, Respect, Trust, and Management Relationship. Example items include: "My supervisor is concerned with the welfare of those under him or her," "The people I work with take a personal interest in me." Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale from "Not at all true" to "Very True." National Opinion Research Center reports excellent psychometric properties of the scale. This scale will be primarily used to examine organizational/work climate.
Job satisfaction-assessing change
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 6 months followup, 9 months followup
Job Satisfaction will be assessed using the items validated by Lee and his colleagues (Lee, et al., 2018). This measure is designed to assess global job satisfaction and appraisal of one's job responsibilities. Sample items include: "Generally speaking, I am very satisfied with this job" and "I am generally satisfied with the kind of work I do in this job." To assess global job satisfaction, one item from the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (MOAQ) ("All in all I am satisfied with my current job") will also be administered.
