Abstract

Abstract. Background: While there is considerable evidence for the positive effects of onsite peer support on health outcomes, few studies have addressed the impact of online peer support. Aims: This study differentiates between emotional (ES) and informational (IS) online peer support for people with celiac disease. We hypothesize that receiving ES and IS positively correlates with self-reported well-being and dietary compliance and that these relations would be moderated by the duration of illness. Method: We used a correlational, cross-sectional design ( N = 369). Results: Both functions of support were positively related to well-being and dietary compliance. The strengths of the positive relationships between ES and both outcomes and IS and well-being were independent of the duration of illness. IS was significantly positively related to dietary compliance among participants with a longer duration of illness, but unrelated among participants with a shorter duration. Limitations: Due to the correlational design, we cannot infer causality. Conclusion: Our findings advance the understanding of online support in contexts where proper self-management is crucial for health outcomes.

乳糜泻在线同伴群体的社会支持

摘要背景:虽然有相当多的证据表明现场同伴支持对健康结果有积极影响，但很少有研究涉及在线同伴支持的影响。目的:本研究区分了乳糜泻患者的情感(ES)和信息(IS)在线同伴支持。我们假设接受ES和IS与自我报告的幸福感和饮食依从性呈正相关，并且这些关系将被疾病的持续时间所缓和。方法:采用相关横断面设计(N = 369)。结果:两种支持功能与幸福感和饮食依从性呈正相关。心理健康与两种结果、心理健康与幸福感之间正相关的强度与疾病的持续时间无关。在病程较长的参与者中，IS与饮食依从性显著正相关，但在病程较短的参与者中不相关。局限性:由于相关设计，我们不能推断因果关系。结论:我们的研究结果促进了对网络支持的理解，在这种情况下，适当的自我管理对健康结果至关重要。
