Since voluntary peer support is driven by personal choice, understanding the motivations for participating and how motivation evolves over time is essential. This study explores the motivations for becoming a peer support provider for family caregivers of patients with hematological malignancies and how motivation changes over time.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This qualitative study encompasses 18 semi-structured interviews with family caregivers providing peer support (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911) at two time points: (1) just after certification as peer supporters but prior to starting the peer support program and (2) at the 6-week mark of their 12-week peer support program.
