Peer support is a central tenant of the Disability Rights Movements and is based on the recognition that experiential knowledge and shared experiences provide opportunities for informational, emotional and appraisal support amongst people with physical disabilities. "Peer support interventions" is an umbrella term used to describe a range of ancillary services provided by people with disabilities to people with disabilities, including peer mentoring, peer health education, and peer health navigation. A growing body of research documents the development, implementation and outcomes of peer support interventions for people with physical disabilities in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The organization, structure and objectives of peer support interventions vary tremendously making it difficult to synthesize findings across studies and establish best practices to support their systematic implementation across the continuum of care. This paper is a call to action for greater conceptual clarity in how peer support interventions are developed, implemented, and evaluated. We propose a 9-part evidence-informed framework delineating both theory-driven and contextual considerations to help strengthen the evidence-base of peer support interventions for people with disabilities in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

物理医学和康复中的同伴支持干预：推进该领域的框架

同伴支持是残疾人权利运动的核心内容，其基础是认识到经验知识和共享经验为身体残疾者提供信息、情感和评估支持的机会。“同伴支持干预”是一个总称，用于描述残疾人向残疾人提供的一系列辅助服务，包括同伴指导、同伴健康教育和同伴健康导航。越来越多的研究记录了在物理医学和康复方面对身体残疾者的同伴支持干预措施的开发、实施和结果。该组织，同伴支持干预的结构和目标差异很大，因此难以综合研究结果并建立最佳实践以支持其在整个护理过程中的系统实施。本文呼吁采取行动，在如何制定、实施和评估同伴支持干预措施方面更加清晰的概念。我们提出了一个由 9 部分组成的循证框架，描述了理论驱动和背景考虑，以帮助加强对物理医学和康复中残疾人的同伴支持干预的证据基础。
