Meta-enthnography of qualitative research on peer support in chronic disease
FY 2009-10
Summary
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is a major cause of long-term disability. Peer support may be a solution to the common problem of delayed treatment. This study will review the qualitative studies on the topic of peer support and chronic disease to answer the question What is the impact of formal or informal peer support on the health and wellbeing of individuals with chronic disease? Peer support is not well researched in the early IA population. This information will help to plan a peer support program to be delivered by trained peers and pilot tested, which will help individuals with early IA to self-manage their disease. This research will increase our understanding of the value of peer support for individuals with chronic disease.
