Abstract
Objective: The current systematic review summarizes reviews on effects of formalized peer support work in clinical psychiatric settings in order to obtain an up-to-date picture of the current state of evidence.
Methods: Search in five electronic databases for relevant literature reviews regarding effects of peer support work in psychiatric settings. Database searches were complemented by a hand search.
Results: 16 reviews were found. They evaluate effects of peer support on clinical or psychosocial outcomes. No consistent effects are found for clinical outcomes. Small positive tendencies occur for psychosocial outcomes.
Conclusions: The authors of the reviews consistently mentioned the low quality of the primary studies. Therefore, the present results can rather be interpreted as a preliminary tendency. Further studies are necessary for evaluation of peer support in a more differentiated way.
