English abstract
Peer learning is a type of learning process whereby non-professional teachers of similar backgrounds and education levels learn from each other.1 Peer-assisted learning has been demonstrated to be effective in many disciplines, including among university and elementary school students.2,3 In terms of patient care, peer-led support groups allow patients or their caregivers to meet and discuss various problems and issues. Such support groups are often very popular, with participants reporting them to be extremely useful as they provide the opportunity to meet people with similar conditions and learn from each other's experiences.
