Exploration and development of voluntary patient support in hospitals in Denmark – qualitative practice research

Volunteers of the Danish Heart Foundation offer supportive conversations to hospitalized cardiovascular patients in five hospitals in Denmark. However, there is no research-based knowledge of how this intervention matter to patients.

The number of volunteers in Danish hospitals is steadily increasing and many patient organizations offer peer-to-peer conversations by volunteers in hospitals. However, approaches, methods and effects of interventions are rarely described. Knowledge about how to qualify the intervention is internationally called for.
