Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of peer education on outcome in people with heart failure.
Background. Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that is considered as a public health problem due to its chronic, progressive and irreversible nature.
Method. In this review study, a comprehensive search of scientific databases and search engines such as Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Medline using the keywords heart failure and peer education in both Persian and English language was done to find literature published between 2000 and 2018.
Findings. Studies about the effect of peer education on outcomes of heart failure patients in the country showed that these trainings have examined three outcomes of self-care, quality of life and self-efficacy in people with heart failure, and that this method has had a positive effect on all three components.
Conclusion. Peer education improves self-care, self-efficacy, and quality of life in people with heart failure. It is recommended to use this training program as an effective, cost-effective method without the need for specialized equipment.
Keywords: Heart failure, Peer education, Quality of life, Self-care, Self-efficacy
