It is widely recognized that peer support plays a key role in the treatment of any disease (Berkman et al., 2000). These social support groups include the family members and friends of individuals with disease who can help them with treatment decisions and provide emotional support while they cope with their disease. In general, having social support leads to positive impact on quality of life (Savelkoul and de Witte, 2001) whereas lacking high quality social relationships may lead to anxiety, depression, loneliness, and poor physical health (Berkman et al., 2000).
