This research aims to identify the components associated with the benefits of Mutual Aid Groups (mags). Although they have been singled out by the evidence, specific information on their nuclear components is lacking. Based on the methodological approach of Arksey and O’Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute, all research studies (Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo, Embase, and Redalyc) and gray literature examining these groups were included. The search was carried out throughout 2022 with the following codes: mutual aid groups; self-help groups. We reviewed 62 papers and 37 were included from a total of 2064 articles. The study shows that the components associated with beneficial results are: active agency, coping strategies, recognition, management of emotions, problem-solving strategies, supportive interaction, trust, self-identity construction, and strengthening of social networks. Thus, it reaffirms that mags are an effective option to address health problems. The application of these components could also contribute to achieve these benefits.
El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar los componentes asociados a beneficios de Grupos de Ayuda Mutua (gam). Aunque han sido recomendados por la evidencia, se carece de información concreta sobre sus componentes nucleares. Con base en el enfoque metodológico de Arksey y O`Malley y del Instituto Joanna Briggs, se incluyeron todos los estudios de investigación (Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo, Embase y Redalyc) y literatura gris, que examinan estos grupos. La búsqueda se realizó en 2022, con el siguiente código: Mutual Aid Groups / grupos de ayuda mutua; Self-Help Groups/ grupos de autoayuda. Se revisaron 62 estudios, aunque se incluyeron 37 de un total de 2064. Entre los componentes asociados a beneficios, se encuentran la agencia activa, estrategias de afrontamiento, reconocimiento y gestión de emociones, resolución de problemas, interacción de apoyo, confianza, construcción de identidad y fortalecimiento de redes sociales. Los gam son una opción efectiva para abordar problemas de salud y aplicar estos componentes podría contribuir a sus beneficios.
