The results indicated that personal experiences of mental ill health can be an asset in mental health care, for example by contributing to greater understanding and empathy, a better approach and a decreased power imbalance in the patient-provider relationship. Self-awareness was cited as crucial to constructive use of such personal experiences. The work environment was described as having a clear impact on how staff utilize personal experiences of mental ill health and many use their experiences less than they would prefer because of negative attitudes among colleagues and fear of being doubted.

- Denna studie syftade till att utforska hur personal inom psykiatri och socialpsykiatri upplever (1) att de använder egna erfarenheter av psykisk ohälsa i sitt arbete (2) olika faktorer som påverkar detta användande. Detta undersöktes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka analyserades utifrån tematisk analys med utgångspunkt i aletisk hermeneutik. Elva behandlare med varierande yrkestillhörighet deltog. Analysen resulterade i åtta huvudteman och ett antal underteman. Huvudteman var: En djupare förståelse, Ett bra bemötande, Vikten av att känna sig själv, Att berätta för att hjälpa patienten/brukaren, Valet att inte berätta, Rolltagande och rollkonflikter, Att ta upp patient- och brukarperspektivet och Den psykiska ohälsan som en...

- Denna studie syftade till att utforska hur personal inom psykiatri och socialpsykiatri upplever (1) att de använder egna erfarenheter av psykisk ohälsa i sitt arbete (2) olika faktorer som påverkar detta användande. Detta undersöktes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka analyserades utifrån tematisk analys med utgångspunkt i aletisk hermeneutik. Elva behandlare med varierande yrkestillhörighet deltog. Analysen resulterade i åtta huvudteman och ett antal underteman. Huvudteman var: En djupare förståelse, Ett bra bemötande, Vikten av att känna sig själv, Att berätta för att hjälpa patienten/brukaren, Valet att inte berätta, Rolltagande och rollkonflikter, Att ta upp patient- och brukarperspektivet och Den psykiska ohälsan som en resurs. Resultaten indikerade att egna erfarenheter av psykisk ohälsa kan vara en tillgång i psykiatriskt vårdarbete, exempelvis genom att bidra till ökad förståelse och empati, ett bättre bemötande och minskad maktobalans i relationen till patienter. God självinsikt framhölls som viktigt för att kunna använda de egna erfarenheterna konstruktivt. Det framkom att arbetssituationen kan ha tydlig inverkan på hur behandlare använder egna erfarenheter av psykisk ohälsa och att många använder dessa erfarenheter mindre än vad de hade velat på grund av negativa attityder hos kollegor och en rädsla för att bli ifrågasatta.
