Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of support groups for people living with chronic ill-health conditions. Searches of the published literature were undertaken for the period 1993–2013. Papers were included if participants were between 18 and 65 years old, and study designs were either pre-test post-test one group descriptive, non-randomised group comparison, or randomised controlled trial, with reported data appropriate for meta-analysis and sufficient for estimating effect size(s). Total 19 studies were eligible in the meta-analysis, and 2,986 participants were examined. Six general outcome categories emerged from the data: (1) psychosocial functioning, (2) self-efficacy, (3) quality of life, (4) health status, (5) health behaviours and (6) health care use. In total, 155 effect sizes were calculated from the outcome measures with 15.5% resulting in a large effect size, 6% moderate effects, 39% small effects, and 39.5% producing trivial effects. The majority of the effect sizes (92%) were in the hypothesised direction. Overall, results demonstrate that self-help and support group interventions can positively influence management of chronic ill-health conditions and contribute to the desired outcome of successful adaptation.
社会支持团体干预对心理社会结局的有效性:一项荟萃分析综述
本研究调查了支持团体对慢性疾病患者的有效性。检索了1993-2013年期间的已发表文献。如果受试者年龄在18岁至65岁之间,研究设计为前测后测一组描述性、非随机组比较或随机对照试验,报告的数据适合荟萃分析并足以估计效应大小,则纳入论文。总共有19项研究符合meta分析的条件,2,986名参与者接受了检查。从数据中得出六个一般结果类别:(1)社会心理功能,(2)自我效能,(3)生活质量,(4)健康状况,(5)健康行为和(6)医疗保健使用。结果测量一共计算出155个效应量,其中15.5%产生大效应量,6%产生中等效应,39%产生小效应,39.5%产生轻微效应。大多数效应量(92%)与假设的方向一致。总体而言,结果表明,自助和支持团体干预可以积极影响慢性疾病的管理,并有助于成功适应的预期结果。
