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.

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.

Human behavior is the largest source of variance in health-related outcomes, and the increasingly popular online health communities (OHC) can be used to promote healthy behavior and outcomes. We explored how the social influence (social integration, descriptive norms and social support) exerted by online social relationships does affect the health behavior of users. Based on an OHC, we considered the effect of three types of social relationships (friendship, mutual support group and competing group) in the OHC. We found that social integration, descriptive norms and social support (information and emotional support) from the OHC had a positive effect on dietary and exercise behavior. Comparing the effects of different social relationships, we found that the stronger social relationship—friendship—had a stronger effect on health behavior than the mutual support group and competing group. Emotional support had a stronger effect on health behavior than informational support. We also found that the effects of social integration and informational support became stronger as membership duration increased, but the effects of the descriptive norms and emotional support became smaller. This study extended the research on health behavior to the online social environment and explored how the social influence exerted by various social relationships in an OHC affected health behavior. The results could be used for guiding users to make use of online social relationships for changing and maintaining healthy behavior, and helping healthcare websites improve their services.

<p>Selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya dan perubahan yang terjadi akibatnya, penderita kanker stadium lanjut bisa mengalami masalah pada aspek fisiologis, psikologis, sosial dan budaya, serta spiritual dan eksistensial. Dukungan sosial dari lingkungan sekitar penderita dapat membantu mereka dalam mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi, namun keberhasilannya tergantung pada bagaimana penderita memaknai dukungan sosial yang diterimanya (<em>perceived social support)</em>. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara <em>semi-structured</em>. Subjek penelitian berjumlah tiga dan memiliki karakteristik, yaitu penderita kanker yang telah didiagnosa kanker stadium lanjut, sedang menjalani Perawatan Paliatif<em>, </em>dan menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kelima dimensi dukungan sosial dipersepsikan oleh penderita kanker stadium lanjut selama menghadapi masalah yang muncul akibat kondisinya. Sumber dukungan sosial berasal dari berbagai pihak. Sumber dukungan sosial tertentu bisa memberikan lebih dari satu dimensi dukungan sosial. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial berbeda-beda. <em>Informational support </em>memberikan informasi untuk memahami kondisi kesehatan dan nasehat untuk menjaga kondisi kesehatan, sedangkan <em>instrumental support </em>memberikan bantuan secara finasial dan peralatan untuk mendukung pengobatan, serta memberikan pelayanan untuk mengatasi masalah kesehatan dan rumah tangga. <em>Emotional support, esteem support, </em>dan <em>companionship support </em>mampu memberikan penghiburan dan motivasi melaui perkataan dan tindakan selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial dapat memberikan dampak yang positif apabila diberikan secara tepat, namun bisa menimbulkan perasaan negatif ketika diberikan secara kurang tepat, kurang memadai, atau justru secara berlebihan.</p><p>Kata kunci: <span>Kanker stadium lanjut, Perawatan Paliatif, dukungan sosial, <em>perceived social support</em></span></p>
