This paper is about the KNUST Peer Counsellors Program (KPC); an initiative of the KNUST Counselling Center (KCC). Over the years, the number of Peer Counsellors has increased. Students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have likewise increased. The aim of the paper was basically to examine the impact of the peer counselling experience on the students who volunteer to be trained and serve as Peer Counsellors. To the best of our knowledge, no study as yet has examined impact of peer counselling among university students in Ghana. Yet, we believe it is a program worth further exploration and development to equip the youth with altruistic values. Reports from the Peer Counsellors affirm the positive impact of the experience on their lives as young people. It projects a viable developmental pathway, career wise, for some of them aside the promotion of own and others wellbeing. Administrative and functional structure of the KPC is described in the paper and recommended as a program for other tertiary institutions to augment formation and education of students.   Citation:Owusu-Ansah, F.

The Impact

BACKGROUND: The impact of paediatric upper limb difference may extend beyond the child themselves to their parents and other family members. Previous research has found that feelings of shock, numbness and loss are common amongst parents and that peer support can be a buffer against stress. OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to explore the experiences of parents of children with limb difference, and the role of services and prosthetic devices in these experiences. METHODS: Nine parents of children with limb difference participated in either a group (n= 2) or individual (n= 7) interview. RESULTS: Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed four themes – ‘grief and guilt’, ‘prosthesis as a tool for parental adjustment’, ‘support’ and ‘fun and humour’. CONCLUSIONS: Parents may employ coping strategies to help them adjust to their child’s limb difference, including use of a prosthesis, accessing support from statutory services and peers, and use of fun and humour within the family.

Intervention Trials

Peer counseling programs are increasingly popular, and intervention trials have established efficacy. However, pragmatic, real-world effectiveness of peer counseling programs are limited, but necessary, to justify funding. This study examined the effectiveness of the Loving Support Peer Counseling (LSPC) program to increase breastfeeding duration and reasons for cessation among Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participants. In a sample of 178 WIC participants, new mothers who received LSPC breastfed for an average of 8.6 weeks longer relative to mothers who did not receive LSPC (p < .001). Although all mothers cited concerns about infants'’ nutritional uptake, WIC mothers who did not receive LSPC reported frustration as the reason for breastfeeding cessation. This study supports the pragmatic, real-world effectiveness of LSPC among WIC mothers.
