In the United States, nearly one in five adolescents has a diagnosable mental health disorder. Beginning in the teenage years, adolescents become less reliant on their parents for support and begin to turn to their peer group for support; therefore, it is important to understand the role of peers during this developmental time, especially in relation to mental health. The purpose of this project is to review the literature regarding positive peer support and mental health in adolescence. CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO were used to conduct the review. The inclusive years of the search were 2007-2017. A total of 15 studies were included for review. The results were consistent over time and settings, demonstrating the positive role of peer support in adolescences with mental health care needs. Following a synthesis of the literature, gaps in research and implications for practice and further research, are discussed.
在美国，近五分之一的青少年患有可诊断的心理健康障碍。从青少年时期开始，青少年对父母支持的依赖减少，转而向同龄人寻求支持；因此，了解同龄人在这一发育阶段的作用非常重要，尤其是与心理健康相关的作用。本项目的目的是回顾有关青少年积极同伴支持与心理健康的文献。使用护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL）、医学期刊数据库（PubMed）和心理学文摘数据库（PsycINFO）进行该综述。检索的时间范围为2007年至2017年。总共纳入15项研究进行综述。结果在不同时间和环境下保持一致，表明同伴支持在有心理健康护理需求的青少年中发挥着积极作用。在对文献进行综合分析之后，讨论了研究中的空白以及对实践和进一步研究的启示。
