Peer-based Recovery Program

Recovery-oriented services are currently the mainstream in the field of mental health around the world. Peer services are an alternative service option promoted by recovery advocates. Western countries have invested abundant resources in promoting peer services and providing training for peer support workers. However, peer services in Taiwan have just started. More resources need to be added to make mental health services catch up with the world trend so that people with mental illness in Taiwan can have more choices. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Grow to Recovery program-Short Version co-led by a peer.

Enhanced Recovery After Uvulopalatoplasty

Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent condition often treated surgically with palatoplasty, which improves airway patency and reduces apneic events. However, postoperative pain and airway discomfort following palatoplasty can be significant, leading to delayed oral intake, increased opioid consumption, and prolonged recovery. Combining an ultrasound-guided glossopharyngeal nerve block with topical airway anesthesia may provide synergistic analgesia and support a safer recovery profile.
