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.
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.
Twelve clinical trials published in English with a Jadad score of 3 or 4 (out of 5) were included in the final review. These studies used four approaches to deliver peer-support interventions: face-to-face, telephone-based, educational videos, and group discussion. The results showed that peer-support could have a positive effect on depression, anxiety, quality of life, sexual performance, self-care, and medication adherence.
Considering the serious impacts of MI on life, these patients need empowerment training. Peer-support can be used as a complementary supportive method to reduce MI patients' psychological complications and improve their behavioral outcomes.
心肌梗死（MI）是全球致残和死亡的主要原因之一。同伴支持可以改善与心脏病相关的心理和身体疾病。本研究的目的是确定同伴支持干预是否能改善心肌梗死患者常见的心理和行为健康结果。
在这项系统评价中，检索了国际数据库（PubMed、科学网和Scopus）以收集截至2023年3月的相关出版物。符合条件的论文是那些涉及有心肌梗死病史个体的同伴支持干预结果的论文。
最终综述纳入了12篇以英文发表、Jadad评分为3或4（满分5分）的临床试验。这些研究采用了四种方式提供同伴支持干预：面对面、电话、教育视频和小组讨论。结果表明，同伴支持可能对抑郁、焦虑、生活质量、性功能、自我护理和药物依从性有积极影响。
考虑到心肌梗死对生活的严重影响，这些患者需要赋能培训。同伴支持可以作为一种补充性支持方法，以减少心肌梗死患者的心理并发症并改善其行为结果。
