“…Peer education has been defined as the provision of emotional, evaluative and informational support by members of a created social network who have experiential knowledge of specific behaviours or stressors and characteristics similar to those of the target population to address health-related problems (Dennis, 2003). The significance of peer support has been identified in previous research on diverse health behaviours including smoking cessation (Stead et al, 2017), weight loss (Borek et al, 2018), safe hygiene practices (Waterkeyn and Waterkeyn, 2013), and support for people with HIV (Harris et al, 2015). Hence, peer support interventions may be effective in improving breakfast habits and other health behaviours.…”

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of a peer support intervention on the breakfast habits of university students in Japan. Both breakfast frequency and breakfast composition were assessed. Design: The study adopted a combination of convergent and intervention designs and used a mixed-methods approach. Setting: College-based peer-support intervention taking place in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Method: Questionnaires on demographic characteristics and breakfast habits were administered to participants ( n = 27) before the online workshop, immediately afterwards, and at 3 and 6 months after the peer support intervention, coupled with a 4-week breakfast status report. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted with 17 participants to gain a more detailed understanding of the impact of the intervention. Results: Quantitative results showed that immediately after the intervention, breakfast intake frequency and breakfast composition improved significantly; however, post-intervention, there was a difference in persistence between frequency and composition. In the qualitative element of the study, ‘peer stimulation’ and ‘coercion’ were identified as drivers of the changes identified. In addition, ‘changes in awareness and behaviour’ and ‘realisation of the need for breakfast’ were noted by participants. Conclusion: Peer support interventions can improve the breakfast habits of university students. A follow-up intervention within 6 months for breakfast frequency and within 3 months for breakfast composition following the intervention may help sustain the observed beneficial effects.

RESUMO As plataformas de apoio social on-line (fóruns de discussão, grupos no Facebook, salas de chat etc.) são cada vez mais utilizadas por pessoas com doenças crônicas e seus cuidadores, que desejam falar com pessoas com problemas semelhantes fora da sua rede tradicional. O objetivo desta revisão de literatura foi apresentar as intervenções de apoio social on-line descritas na literatura científica recente, para: 1) orientar as organizações que desejam desenvolver tal intervenção ou melhorar um programa existente; e 2) identificar caminhos de pesquisa para pesquisadores e recomendações para planejadores de saúde. Foram analisados 59 artigos científicos apresentando intervenções de apoio social on-line (2006-2016), usando uma grade enfatizando as concepções teóricas de apoio social, as plataformas web utilizadas e suas funcionalidades, o processo de design e avaliação das intervenções, os métodos de participação e animação estabelecidos pelas organizações, os impactos documentados das intervenções nas populações e, finalmente, as vias de pesquisa e as recomendações para os planejadores de saúde. Uma metodologia narrativa foi usada para destacar os desafios de desenvolvimento e implementação para apoiar nossas organizações parceiras no desenvolvimento ou melhoria de suas intervenções de apoio social on-line.

Objectif : L’objectif de cette revue de littérature est de présenter les interventions de soutien social en ligne décrites dans les publications scientifiques récentes, pour (i) guider les organismes qui veulent développer une telle intervention ou améliorer un programme déjà existant, et (ii) identifier des pistes de recherche pour les chercheurs et des recommandations pour les praticiens. Méthodes et résultats : Cinquante-neuf articles scientifiques présentant des interventions de soutien social en ligne et publiés sur la période 2006-2016 ont été analysés à partir d’une grille mettant l’accent sur les conceptions théoriques du soutien social, les plateformes web utilisées et leurs fonctionnalités, le processus de conception et d’évaluation des interventions, les modalités de participation et d’animation mises en place par les organismes, les impacts documentés des interventions sur les populations et, enfin, les pistes de recherche et les recommandations pour les praticiens. Une méthodologie narrative a été utilisée pour faire ressortir les défis du développement et de l’implantation afin d’accompagner les organismes dans le développement ou l’amélioration de leurs interventions de soutien social en ligne. Conclusion : Plusieurs pistes de recherche et recommandations pour le développement des interventions sont proposées, notamment la nécessité de développer des modèles théoriques pour comprendre le soutien social en ligne et pour enrichir les modèles traditionnels de soutien social, le besoin de comprendre les bénéfices associés aux différents niveaux de participation, l’importance de l’étude des besoins dans le développement des interventions et l’apport des méthodes qualitatives à l’évaluation des interventions.
