Brief Summary

The main advantage of patient-to-patient peer counseling is that it benefits both the client and the peer mentors as real and authentic experiences are shared. Since both individuals go through similar experiences, they can share common feelings. Although there are studies in the literature showing the effectiveness of peer support groups in different patient groups, studies on chronic kidney disease patients are limited. There are no studies on the effects of these programs on caregivers. This study will be conducted to examine the effects of peer support program applied to chronic kidney patients on patient outcomes and caregivers.
