The aim of this systematic review of qualitative stu-dies was to explore social support among women coping with CR programme attendance at phase II CRP is 3 months after their cardiac event.Methods: Articles were searched through CINAHL (Cumulative Index and Allied Health Literature), Science Direct and PubMed databases using the following terms: ``women'', ``acute coronary syn-drome'', ``coping'', ``social support'' and ``cardiac rehabilitation''.Results: A total of 6 articles were selected based on eligibility criteria.

The 3 most common themes regarding social support for women attending the CR programme were: family support, female as the primary caregiver in the family, and peer support.
