Abstract
People living with both mental and physical health concerns are less likely to have their health needs met than people living with just one of these. This systematic review – designed with people living with both mental and physical health concerns – sought to identify and evaluate existing health advocacy resources for this cohort. The research team was comprised of academics and a co-design group of people living with mental and physical health concerns. The co-design group had decision making roles in the conduct of this literature review. Existing health resources were identified through three academic databases. Further resources were identified via hand searching. All resources were screened in Covidence reference systematic review software. Resources included at full text screening were evaluated based on their usefulness and the extent to which lived experience expertise was engaged in their development. Fifty-five resources aimed at addressing the needs of people living with mental and physical health concerns were identified. The co-design group defined and assessed usefulness based on credibility of the resource, and whether it provided practical information for the majority of Australian people with ongoing mental health concerns to manage their physical health in an empowering and accessible manner. Resources that engaged people living with mental health concerns in the conduct of their design were more likely to be considered useful. This suggests that clinical expertise alone is insufficient, and that engaging consumers in research is essential.
