The aim of this study is to assess social support dimensions (providers, satisfaction and different support actions) in patients with eating disorders (ED), looking at diagnosis, socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, and self-concept. Method: A total of 98 female ED patients were recruited. The ages of participants ranged from 12 to 34 (Mean=20.8 years old, SD=5.61). Patients have a primary DSM-IV-R diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (61.2%), bulimia nervosa (27.6%) or an unspecified eating disorder (11.2%). Social support was assessed using the Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido (EASP). This scale measures social support providers, satisfaction and specific social support actions, which can be grouped into informational, emotional and practical support. Self-concept was assessed using the Cuestionario de Autoconcepto (AF-5). Results: The two most frequent providers for these patients were mothers (86.7%) and partners (73.1%). Patients' satisfaction with social support was high and they reported that they received informational support more frequently than emotional and practical support. Family self-concept showed positive relationships with social support dimensions. Conclusion: These results show the importance of the family network in connection with these disorders and its relation to self-concept.

Introduction: The aim of the present study is to carry out a multidimensional analysis of the relationship of social support with quality of life and the stress perceived by cancer patients. Methods: The participants were 200 patients with cancer. Data was gathered on sociodemographic characteristics, health, quality of life, social support and perceived stress. Results: Frequency of and satisfaction with different sources and types of support are related positively with improvement of quality of life and negatively with perceived stress. The emotional support from the partner and the emotional and informational support from the family are significant predictors of quality of life. Emotional support from the family reduces patients’ perceived stress. Satisfaction with emotional support from the partner and with the informational support from friends and family increases quality of life. Satisfaction with emotional support from the family and with informational support from friends decreases patients’ perceived stress. Instrumental support and support provided by health professionals are not good predictors of quality of life and perceived stress. Satisfaction with the support received is more significantly related with quality of life and stress than the frequency with which the sources provide support. Conclusions: These results have important practical implications to improve cancer patients’ quality of life and reduce their perceived stress through social support. Designing intervention strategies to improve satisfaction with the support provided to patients by their closest networks results in a global benefit for the patient’s quality of life.

RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a dinâmica de uma família ribeirinha. Método: estudo qualitativo, tipo descritivo, realizado com uma família utilizando o Modelo Calgary de Avaliação Familiar (MCAF). Os dados foram obtidos por entrevista semiestruturada e analisados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: a aplicação deste Modelo investigou os principais aspectos de sua estrutura, desenvolvimento e funcionamento identificando os vínculos familiares, redes de apoio social e as funções diárias. Conclusão: o núcleo familiar estudado mostrou-se com vínculos fortes e relacionamento positivo, fortes redes de apoio social familiar e comunitário, porém com fragilidade com relação ao serviço de saúde, uma vez que os serviços oferecidos na ilha são incipientes e há dificuldade de locomoção da ilha para a busca de atendimento de saúde em outro local. O Modelo Calgary é uma ferramenta útil por considerar a família no seu contexto, além de ser um modelo próprio da enfermagem. Este estudo pode contribuir, futuramente, para que outros enfermeiros possam propor à família intervenções para a melhoria da qualidade de vida familiar, colaborando para encontrar soluções e lidar com as dificuldades do cotidiano.

Method: qualitative and descriptive study performed with a family using the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM). Data were obtained by semi-structured interview and analyzed by the Content Analysis technique. Results: the application of this model investigated the main aspects of its structure, development and functioning, identifying family ties, social support networks and daily functions. Conclusion: the family nucleus under study showed strong bonds and positive relationships, strong family and community social support networks, but with fragility in relation to the health service, since the services offered on the island are incipient and there is difficulty locomotion in the island to seek health care elsewhere. The Calgary Model is a useful tool for considering the family in its context, besides being a nursing model. This study may contribute, in the future, for other nurses to propose to the family interventions aimed to improve the quality of family life, collaborating to find solutions and deal with daily difficulties.

Sources Of Support

The association between perceived social support and happiness was investigated in women who are members of various associations in Malaga (Spain) that work with immigrant women. Based on the Social Convoy model, the association between sources of support, frequency of support, satisfaction with support, and happiness reported by women were examined. The main social support predictor of happiness was satisfaction with the support received. Thus, the best predictors of happiness were emotional support from the family and instrumental support from the indigenous population and associations. The best predictor of frequency of support was the frequency of informational support received from social services. These results may prove useful for developing lines of action or interventions centred on the social network and the functions that social support can fulfil among immigrant women.

Injured Athletes

Twelve seriously injured athletes were asked to describe the provision of eight functional types of support during their rehabilitation. NUD*IST (Nonnumerical Unstructured Data Indexing Searching and Theorizing) was used to organize the data. Overall, the provision of social support largely matched demand. Emotional and practical forms of support decreased with time, while varieties of informational support were increasingly received and preferred over time. The provision of informational and emotional support appeared to be dictated by four temporally sequential appraisals: injury severity, rehabilitation progress, recovery/readiness to return, and sports performance. Practical support in the form of personal assistance greatly depended upon the visibility of the injury and the mobility of the injured athlete. Physiotherapists, doctors, and other currently or previously injured athletes were most likely to provide informational support requiring expert medical knowledge, whereas coaches provided informational support requiring sport-specific expertise. Friends and family were the main source of emotional and practical support. The situational and temporal context of the provision of support is represented diagrammatically.

The sample consists of 412 students, out of whom 216 were girls (52.4%) and 196 were boys (47.6%). For the evaluation we used Effective Personality Primary 8-12/Extended Questionnaire (CPE-P/8-12/extended), which was elaborated by Pizarro Ruiz, Martín del Buey Palace. Four areas are evaluated within it: Strengths of Self (social self-concept and physical self-concept) Demands of the Self (effective attributions, punishment avoiding, optimistic behaviour expectatives, optimistic performance expectatives, effort attributions, intrinsic motivation), Challenges to the Self (social support searching, positive facing), Relations of the Self (own rights defense, assertiveness). The results show that only statistically significant differences were found in the area of Demands of Self. The girls’ average is higher than the boys’ average. Furthermore, in dimensions level, it has been found that only significant gender differences exist in: effective attributions, optimistic behaviour expectatives, effort attributions and intrinsic motivation. Girls have higher average in effective attributions, optimistic behaviour expectatives, effort attributions and intrinsic motivation than the boys.Keywords Effective Personality, Primary Education, GenderResumen.En esta comunicación se estudia las diferencias de género en la Personalidad Eficaz en alumnado de Educación Primaria (de 8 a 13 años).
