Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients have few opportunities to interact with peers in the hospital. AYA Hiroba, a peer support system for AYA cancer patients, was launched and held regularly at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan. This questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the degree of satisfaction and opinions of AYA cancer patients regarding this program. Participants reported that the content was satisfying and useful. Their impressions suggested that AYA Hiroba is potentially effective for promoting interaction with the same generation, change in mood, and acquisition of information.
