The effectiveness of peer-led and professionally led groups to support family caregivers

RW Toseland, CM Rossiter and MS Labrecque

Participants in both professionally led and peer-led groups experienced significant improvements in psychological functioning, increases in informal support networks, and positive personal changes in handling of the caregiving role when compared with control participants. Professionally led groups produced the greatest improvement in psychological functioning, and peer-led groups produced the greatest increases in informal support networks.
