Description of intervention(s) / exposure
THRIVE | Whakapuawai is a co-designed peer support group that focused on sharing and learning from each other’s experiences with inflammatory arthritis. It will focus the discussion on topics that have been identified as important by the co-design team to living well with inflammatory arthritis. The topics include:
- Tips and tricks (talking about strategies for pain, fatigue and flare-ups)
- Healthy habits (talking about helpful lifestyle actions)
- Resources and decisions (talking about medication, other treatments, and where to get information you can trust)
- Impacts (talking about managing impacts on mood and stress)
- Voice (talking about communicating well with health professionals and the people in your life)
- Enjoyment (talking about finding and doing what brings you joy)
Each group will consist of 8 individuals, 6 peer participants and 2 co-facilitators (one health professional and one peer living with inflammatory arthritis). The sessions will be conducted in a hybrid format (Zoom or in-person) and consist of semi-structured discussions around the above topics. There is a total of 6 sessions, with each scheduled to run for one hour per fortnight over 12 weeks.
All THRIVE | Whakapuawai facilitators will receive training delivered by the research team at least a month prior to the commencement of THRIVE | Whakapuawai. It will be delivered over the course of two four-hour sessions in a hyrbid format (Zoom and in-person).
We will be utilising an attendance checklist as part of our feasibility measurement.

Summary
Brief summary
THRIVE | Whakapuawai is a peer support group that focused on sharing and learning from each other’s experiences with inflammatory arthritis. It will focus the discussion on topics that have been identified as important by the co-design team to living well with inflammatory arthritis (e.g., healthy habits, psychosocial impacts, and finding what you enjoy). The sessions will be semi-structured discussions co-facilitated by a health professional and peer living with inflammatory arthritis. We aim to pilot THRIVE | Whakapuawai and explore the acceptability and feasibility of such a programme for those living with inflammatory arthritis. In addition, we will be piloting a facilitator training to complement THRIVE | Whakapuawai and exploring the acceptability, feasibility, and impacts on group leadership self-efficacy.
