Abstract

Introduction: Cancer is one of the health emergencies across the globe causing the highest mortality rates. Its dimensions are far beyond the physical illness as it causes a long-lasting psychological impact on the patient as well as family mental health due to its poor prognosis, low survival rates, and substantial distress due to its treatment modalities. This study aims to assess the level of resilience and perceived social support among cancer patients. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January 2020 to April 2020. A total of 405 cancer patients were enrolled in this research study who were attending the oncology outpatient department at our institute. The data was collected through planned interviews using Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale and the multidimensional scale of perceived social support to assess the level of resilience and perceived social support among patients. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings revealed that the highest level of resilience was shown among the patients who are self-efficient with a mean score of 5.36 ± 1.392 while the respondents obtained the maximum social support from their family with a mean score of 19.37 ± 3.653. It was found that there was a strong positive correlation between resilience and perceived social support, which was statistically significantP< 0.05), whereas no association was found between the level of resilience and perceived social support scores with sociodemographic variables (P < 0.05). Discussion: Promoting resilience and good social support during illness should be an important component of cancer care.
一项评估癌症患者复原力和感知社会支持的横断面研究
导读:癌症是全球范围内死亡率最高的突发卫生事件之一。它的范围远远超出了身体疾病,因为它对患者和家庭的精神健康造成长期的心理影响,因为它预后差,存活率低,以及由于其治疗方式造成的巨大痛苦。本研究旨在评估癌症患者的心理弹性和感知社会支持水平。对象与方法:于2020年1月至2020年4月进行横断面调查。本研究共纳入我院肿瘤门诊就诊的405例肿瘤患者。采用Connor-Davidson弹性量表和感知社会支持多维度量表对患者的弹性水平和感知社会支持水平进行有计划的访谈,收集数据。数据分析采用描述性和推断性统计。结果:调查结果显示,心理弹性水平最高的是自我效能者,平均得分为5.36±1.392分;家庭社会支持得分最高,平均得分为19.37±3.653分。心理弹性与感知社会支持得分呈显著正相关(P < 0.05),而心理弹性与感知社会支持得分与社会人口学变量之间无显著相关(P < 0.05)。讨论:促进疾病期间的恢复力和良好的社会支持应该是癌症治疗的重要组成部分。
