Research summary
This research proposes to investigate the impact of a Service User Network (SUN) on the lives of individuals living with Personality Disorder and Complex Needs as a new addition to therapeutic interventions.
The aim of this study is to understand the perspective of individuals living with Personality disorder who have accessed the SUN, through conducting interviews. This study has three objectives:
a) To explore if and how the SUN has supported service users recovery and wellbeing, and what role the SUN facilitators play in this.
b) To present a model to explain and understand the support received from the SUN.
c) To build a theory around if and how peer-led intervention are meaningful for individuals living with Personality Disorder.
Participants will be recruited via individuals who access the SUN groups. Participants will be required to complete a consent form, provide some personal information (e.g. age, locality)
and take part in an interview.
This research will use Constructivist Grounded Theory methods. This means that the data received from the interviews and the analysis of this data will be carried out alongside each other. Data analysis will occur until there is a clear set of themes within the data which can be understood as a model.
In addition, the research will involve a group of lived experience consults to guide and support the research.REC name
