Self-management interventions promote illness management among adults with chronic health conditions. Little is known regarding the processes by which these interventions have their effects. The present study examined how Living Well, an effective self-management intervention for adults with serious mental illness, led to health behavior change in a randomized controlled trial. A convenience subset ( N = 15) of participants completed qualitative interviews regarding the feasibility/acceptability of Living Well. An inductive secondary qualitative analysis, using a combination of interpretive phenomenological and social constructivist approaches, was conducted to examine processes of change. Results indicate that Living Well provided information and knowledge, opportunities for learning from others and real-world practice, and an interpersonally supportive environment. These active ingredients led to enhanced self-awareness, confidence, sense of control, and behavior and health status changes among participants. These findings are considered in the context of prominent behavior change theories such as social cognitive theory and self-regulation.

Abstract There is a growing evidence base for the utility of peers in supporting physical health outcomes among aging Veterans with mental illness. This talk will consider two questions: (1) what does it mean to be a “peer” when the focus is improving physical health, and (2) how does peer support promote health behavior change? In considering these questions, select peer-delivered interventions recently or currently being tested in the VA will be discussed. Data from qualitative interviews (N=16; ages 47-75) from a recent RCT of Living Well, a peer co-facilitated group intervention promoting illness self-management, will be presented. These data shed light on the peer role, especially the role of peer self-disclosure in promoting group cohesion, social learning, self-efficacy, and health behavior change. Notably, when physical health is the focus, participants relate to peer providers across diverse characteristics, and not necessarily based on a shared lived experience of mental illness.
