Résumé
We sought to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and benefits of a virtual one-to-one peer support program for people with cystic fibrosis and their family members through a retrospective program evaluation. This peer support program was developed in collaboration with patients, health care providers, and CF Foundation program staff. Mentees were paired with a trained peer mentor for 3-month mentoring via video, phone, email, or text. We found that the peer support program was feasible and acceptable. Success factors include a range of positive benefits including practical support as well as social and emotional support. Two-thirds of mentees reported at least 4 different benefits. Mentors reported multiple benefits after providing support through mentoring. Our program evaluation demonstrates that virtual peer support based on informal sharing of life experiences is an achievable way to provide social support and enhance health and well-being in chronic disease management.
