Øgård-Repål, A., Berg, R., Skogen, V. & Fossum, M. (2022). “They make a difference” : a qualitative study of providers’ experiences of peer support in outpatient clinics for people living with HIV. BMC Health Services Research, 22: 1380. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-022-08810-9Abstract
This study contributes to knowledge on how peer support can meet the needs of people living with HIV. Incorporating people living with HIV in the co-production and distribution of healthcare services may improve the knowledge and perspectives in healthcare services. However, the skill standards of peer supporters should be addressed when implementing peer support in usual care.
