Abstract

ABSTRACT This study replicated and extended existing research on cancer survivors’ perceptions of helpful and unhelpful social support messages and sources. Forty-three participants with diverse cancer experiences were interviewed about their perceptions of helpful and unhelpful social support messages and sources. Participants recalled six categories of helpful (i.e., network, emotional, esteem, tangible, informational and unspecified) and five categories of unhelpful (i.e., network, emotional, esteem, tangible, informational) messages/sources received during and after cancer treatment. Helpful and unhelpful messages came from spouses, family members, friends, coworkers, healthcare providers and others. Patterns of meaningful message-source combinations are described. Participants recalled double the amount of helpful support messages than nonsupport messages, offering support for the positivity bias. Participants’ memories of helpful support messages and sources during treatment followed a consistent pattern; however, expectations and experiences of received social support after completion of cancer treatment were inconsistent and contradictory.

“我查了一下，你可能会没事的”:癌症幸存者对有益和无益的支持信息和来源的看法

本研究复制并扩展了现有的关于癌症幸存者对有益和无益的社会支持信息和来源的看法的研究。43名有不同癌症经历的参与者接受了采访，询问他们对有益和无益的社会支持信息和来源的看法。参与者回忆了在癌症治疗期间和之后收到的六类有用的(即网络，情感，尊重，有形，信息和未指明)和五类无用的(即网络，情感，尊重，有形，信息)信息/来源。有帮助的和没有帮助的信息来自配偶、家庭成员、朋友、同事、医疗服务提供者和其他人。描述了有意义的消息源组合的模式。参与者回忆起的有帮助的支持信息的数量是不支持信息的两倍，为积极偏见提供了支持。在治疗期间，参与者对有用的支持信息和来源的记忆遵循一致的模式;然而，对癌症治疗完成后获得的社会支持的期望和体验是不一致和矛盾的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
