Study design: Qualitative study involving individual semistructured in-depth interviews. Objectives: To evaluate peer support provided in general hospitals for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Setting: The South West of the United Kingdom. Methods: Fourteen in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with people with SCI and their close relatives, and with healthcare professionals involved in their care. Transcribed interviews were coded inductively and analysed thematically. Themes were patterned around positive and less positive aspects of the experience of the peer support service. Results: The psychological and emotional support provided by the peer support officer was highly valued by the participants. The peer support officer's direct experience of living with a spinal injury gave credibility to the practical advice, information and signposting provided; as well as to the empathy demonstrated by them during their involvement with people with SCI and their families. Healthcare professionals appreciated their unique perspective and considered them as a valuable member of the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion: Peer support is valued by the people affected by SCI. There is a need to further investigate the key aspects of the service, including the optimal timing for introducing this peer support as well as more formal training of mentors.

“…Referral for psychological intervention can be made when required in line with patient preferences. Dietary changes as well as patient support and cognitive-behavioural therapy are found to alleviate distress (Snyder, 2006;Galletly et al, 2007;Percy et al, 2009). Future research is required to identify the best method of risk communication and treatment for women with PCOS.…”

Nurse‐led peer support group: experiences of women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract: Social support appears to be a key factor mediating the psychosocial impact in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Healthcare providers should consider running such support groups or referring patients to them. Providing social support may alleviate distress and improve self-management.
