In the context of health communication, support groups are believed to act as a protective measure against detrimental physical and psychological effects for patients by promoting adaptation both endocrinologically (related to hormones), cognitively, and behaviorally. Such adaptation also brings benefits in enhancing the immune system, adherence to medication consumption, and improving patient health. Support groups are crucial for patients, especially those with similar conditions, as there is a higher level of empathy, mutual information sharing, messages of hope and inspiration, and a platform for expression to enhance the life expectancy of patients with chronic diseases.
