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.
