Descriptive, transversal pretest and posttest quantitative approach. Andalusia. Nine hundred sixty-four patients with Diabetes, fibromyalgia and heart failure, trained at the School of Patients between 2013 and 2015. Peer-training intervention for self-efficacy for chronic patients. Self-reported health status, activity limitation, diet and physical activity. Statistical analysis included descriptive and bivariate statistics, correlation coefficient and net gains for paired variables. Health status improved after the training, with less limitations and better diet and physical activity, with significant differences by sex, chronic illness, education level and marriage status. Improvement areas where identified for the training strategy, with special attention on the needs of more vulnerable groups (women, people with less education level). The peer training had a positive impact, with differences depending on social profiles. 1-year and 2-years posttest measurements are needed and a qualitative study is required in order to better evaluate the peer-led strategy and to adapt it to participants' needs and expectations.esAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Calidad de vidaChronic diseaseEducación del paciente como asuntoEnfermedad crónicaEstilo de vidaLife styleParticipación del pacientePatient education as topicPatient participationQuality of lifeAdultAgedAged, 80 and overChronic DiseaseCross-Sectional StudiesFemaleHealth BehaviorHealth Services Needs and DemandHealth StatusHumansMaleMiddle AgedPatient Education as TopicPeer Groupresearch article30982640open accessConductas relacionadas con la saludEducación del paciente como asuntoEnfermedad crónicaEstado de saludEstudios transversalesGrupo paritarioNecesidades y eemandas de servicios de saludPersona de mediana edadHumanos10.1016/j.aprim.2018.09.0201578-1275PMC7025955https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aprim.2018.09.020https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7025955/pdf
