Abstract

Background: While data demonstrate psychosocial support services as effective mechanisms for improving the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors (BCS), reviews indicate more research is needed to confirm this finding. The current study examined the relationship between psychosocial support service utilization (PSSU) on adaptive coping (AC) and post-traumatic growth (PTG) among BCS.

Methods: Seventy-two Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic White BCS completed a survey assessing socio-demographic/clinical characteristics, PSSU (none, one type, multiple types), AC, and PTG. Analysis of covariance was used to examine the relationship between PSSU and AC/PTG indices.

Results: Seventy-two percent of all respondents indicated utilizing one or more psychosocial support services. Among all respondents, as PSSU increased, all measures of AC and PTG significantly increased (p < 0.05). Analyses within race/ethnic groups showed similar patterns.

Conclusions: This study provides evidence of the positive relationship between PSSU and psychological well-being among a diverse group of BCS.

乳腺癌幸存者心理社会支持服务使用、应对与创伤后成长的关系

背景：虽然数据表明心理社会支持服务是改善乳腺癌幸存者心理健康的有效机制，但综述表明需要更多的研究来证实这一发现。本研究旨在探讨心理社会支持服务利用（PSSU）与创伤后成长（PTG）和适应性应对（AC）之间的关系。方法：72名非西班牙裔黑人和非西班牙裔白人BCS完成了一项调查，评估了社会人口统计学/临床特征、PSSU（无、一种、多种类型）、AC和PTG。采用协方差分析检验PSSU与AC/PTG指标之间的关系。结果：72%的受访者表示使用一种或多种社会心理支持服务。在所有被调查者中，随着PSSU的增加，所有AC和PTG的测量都显着增加(p)。结论：本研究提供了PSSU与不同BCS群体心理健康之间正相关的证据。
