Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationships among benefit finding (BF), self-management efficacy, and social support in patients with gynecologic cancers.

Methods: A total of 180 patients with gynecological cancer were selected using a convenience sampling methodology from Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Shenzhen, China. The data collection tools included sociodemographic and disease-related information, the Chinese Version of the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), the Chinese Self-Management Efficacy Scale for Cancer Patients (C-SUPPH), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression. The SPSS 29.0 and the PROCESS 4.2 macro were used to validate the mediating effects.

Results: BF was positively correlated with social support (r = 0.235, P < 0.01) and self-management efficacy (r = 0.453, P < 0.01). Social support also showed a correlation with self-management efficacy (r = 0.268, P < 0.01). BF partially mediated the relationship between social support and self-management efficacy, accounting for 36.28% of the total effect.

Conclusion: Self-management efficacy in patients with gynecological cancers is at a moderate level. Social support indirectly influences self-management efficacy through BF. Enhancing BF could serve as an effective strategy to improve self-management efficacy in this patient population.

获益发现：社会支持对妇科癌症患者自我管理效能的中介作用。

目的：探讨妇科癌症患者的获益感、自我管理效能和社会支持之间的关系。方法：采用方便抽样方法，选取深圳市妇幼保健院妇科肿瘤患者180例。数据收集工具包括社会人口学和疾病相关信息、中文版获益发现量表（BFS）、中文版癌症患者自我管理效能量表（C-SUPPH）和社会支持评定量表（SSRS）。数据分析包括描述性统计、独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析、Pearson相关分析和分层多元回归。采用SPSS 29.0和PROCESS 4.2宏对中介效应进行验证。结果：BF与社会支持（r = 0.235, P < 0.01）、自我管理效能（r = 0.453, P < 0.01）呈正相关。社会支持与自我管理效能也有相关性（r = 0.268, P < 0.01）。BF在社会支持与自我管理效能之间起到部分中介作用，占总效应的36.28%。结论：妇科肿瘤患者自我管理效能处于中等水平。社会支持通过BF间接影响自我管理效能。增强BF可作为提高患者自我管理效能的有效策略。
