METHODS: A total of 64 semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2021 and April 2022. Participants consisted of people who use substances (PWUS), family members of PWUS, health care professionals, harm reduction workers, MORS operators, and members of the general public. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify the major themes and subthemes.
RESULTS: Respondents revealed that MORS facilitated a safe, anonymous, and nonjudgmental environment for PWUS to seek harm reduction and other necessary support. It also created a new sense of purpose for operators to positively contribute to the community. Further advertising and promotional efforts were deemed important to increase its awareness. However, barriers to MORS implementation included concerns regarding privacy/confidentiality, uncertainty of funding, and compassion fatigue among the operators.
CONCLUSIONS: Although MORS were generally viewed as a useful addition to the currently existing harm reduction services, it\'s important to monitor and tackle these barriers by engaging the perspectives of key interest groups.
方法:在2021年11月至2022年4月之间共进行了64次半结构化访谈。参与者包括使用物质(PWUS)的人,PWUS的家庭成员,卫生保健专业人员,减少伤害的工人,MORS操作符,和公众人士。归纳主题分析用于确定主要主题和子主题。
结果:受访者透露,MORS促进了安全,匿名,以及PWUS寻求减少伤害和其他必要支持的非判断性环境。它还为运营商创造了一种新的目标感,可以为社区做出积极贡献。进一步的广告和促销工作被认为对提高其认识很重要。然而,MORS实施的障碍包括对隐私/保密的担忧,资金的不确定性,以及操作员之间的同情疲劳。
结论:尽管人们普遍认为MORS是对现有的减少伤害服务的有益补充,通过吸引主要利益集团的观点来监控和解决这些障碍是很重要的。
