Peer-support interventions and related outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the main causes of disability and death worldwide. Peer-support can ameliorate the psychological and physical morbidities associated with heart diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether peer-support interventions could improve the psychological and behavioral health outcomes commonly experienced by MI patients.

Methods

In this systematic review, international databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched to gather related publications up to March 2023. Eligible papers were those addressing the outcomes of peer-support interventions in individuals with a history of MI.

Result

Twelve clinical trials published in English with a Jadad score of 3 or 4 (out of 5) were included in the final review.
