The relationship between care burden and social support in Turkish Alzheimer patients family caregivers: Cross-sectional study

ABSTRACTTransition into motherhood is generally a joyful life event; for some women, however, it is marked by emotional turmoil. Lack of support can be associated with postpartum depression and can compromise both the mother and infant. A descriptive, cross-sectional study (N = 61) was conducted to explore the relationship between social support and postpartum depression and to determine whether mothers overwhelmed with childcare, or overwhelmed with life in general since becoming a mother, sought professional help. The results revealed that screening for depression alone may not be sufficient, that mothers are willing to contact a professional for help in the postpartum period, and that assessments after birth should include a broader assessment of life’s difficulties rather than focusing on childcare responsibilities alone.

Introduction: Improving the Quality of Life (QoL) is considered one of the main objectives in the care of cancer patients. Achieving this objective, it is essential to determine the factors affecting QoL in cancer patients. The studies in the literature have determined the effects of various factors on QoL but social support from family has remained to be studied. Objective: The present study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived social support from family and QoL in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an oncology unit of a university hospital in İzmir City, Turkey, from March to October 2019. A convenience sample of 276 cancer patients participated in the study. A patient identification form, the Perceived Social Support from family scale (PSS-Family), and the Quality of Life index-cancer version (QLI-C) were used for data collection. The scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C range from 0 to 20 and from 66 to 396, respectively. Regression analysis was used to estimate the effect of perceived social support from family on QoL. Results: Of the participants, 65.2% were female. The Mean±SD age of the study sample was 47.5±14.4 years. Also, the Mean±SD scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C were 16.43±3.01 and 307.77±27.48, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that perceived social support from family was associated with a relative increase in QoL index (B=3.44, P=0.001, R2=0.141). Conclusion: Perceived social support from family is positively associated with QoL in cancer patients. Nurses should consider this relationship when they plan to improve the QoL of cancer patients.

The Relationship

Social support has been supposed to have a positive impact on the function of the immune system. However, the relationship between perceived social support and immune function has not yet been fully investigated. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the link between perceived social support and lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokines. 232 healthy subjects provided a blood sample and completed the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaire. Lymphocyte immunophenotypes and cytokines were determined. Significantly increased CD8+CD57+ lymphocytes and TNF-αlevels were found in group with low perceived social support. Multivariate linear regression corrected for possible confounders confirmed a significant role of perceived social support in predicting the number of CD8+CD57+ lymphocyte and TNF-αlevels. This study supports the association between perceived social support and immune function. In particular, poor social support may be related to a state of chronic inflammation sustained by CD8+CD57+ lymphocyte expansion and increased TNF-αlevels.

Abstract Purpose: The prognosis of patients with lung cancer might be influenced by mental health. Psychological resilience is one of the important indicators to reflect the psychological state. It has been shown that patients with higher social support and self-efficacy have better psychological resilience. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not self-efficacy mediates the relationship between social support and psychological resilience in patients with lung cancer.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 303 lung cancer patients was conducted. Participants completed questionnaires, including the Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Seale Scale, the Chinese version of Strategies Used by People to Promote Health Scale, and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: Mediation analysis indicated that self-efficacy had a partially mediating effect between social support and psychological resilience. Direct paths from social support to self-efficacy, self-efficacy to psychological resilience, and social support to psychological resilience were significant (p< 0.001). Moreover, indirect paths from social support to self-efficacy and self-efficacy to psychological resilience were also significant at the 95% level [0.120–0.550]; the mediating effect accounted for 38.16% of the total effect.Conclusions: Self-efficacy plays an important role in the relationships between social support and psychological resilience in cancer patients. Social support not only directly influenced the psychological resilience, but also indirectly influenced psychological resilience through self-efficacy.

Abstract Background Although studies indicate that resilience is related to care burden, and depressive symptoms, the underlying mechanism between those variables remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the potential mediating role of resilience between care burden and depressive symptoms. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 245 main family caregivers of stroke patients recruited from the neurology department of Tertiary A hospital of China. The self-designed demographic characteristics for patients and caregivers、Barthel Daily Living Activities Index (BDLAI)、Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI)、Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used for investigation. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to explore the relationships between care burden, resilience, and depressive symptoms among the main family caregivers of stroke patients༎ Results The average scores of care burden, resilience, and depressive symptoms for caregivers were 43.89 ± 13.40, 55.68 ± 11.01, and 22.33 ± 9.85, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the care burden was positively related to depressive symptoms (r = 0.578, p < 0.01), resilience was significantly negatively related to both care burden (r = -0.264, p < 0.01) and depressive symptoms (r = -0.697, p < 0.01). Structural equation models (SEM) analysis indicated that resilience partially mediated the relationship between care burden and depressive symptoms with the mediation effect ratio of 23.8%. Conclusions Our study signifies that resilience plays a mediating role between care burden and depressive symptoms among the main family caregivers of stroke patients. This finding shows us that resilience can be a critical source to alleviate depressive symptoms.
