Abstract

Background: The risk of lifestyle and environment will lead to an increase in cancer prevalence. Therefore, it needs managing support for palliative cancer patients. The purpose of the study was to obtain the correlation between social support characteristics and cancer patients' quality of life. Method: This research using a cross-sectional approach was conducted in several palliative shelters. Samples were 93 respondents, obtained using a quota sampling technique. The variables used were social support (family, friends, and others) and the cancer patient's quality of life. Result: The results showed that social support received at a high level was most obtained from the family as many as 65 respondents (69.9%). Furthermore, the social support factor of cancer patients related to the quality of life was friends' support (p-value <0.05), while other factors were considered irrelevant. The collecting data technique was used due to the dynamics of patients seeking treatment at the West Java provincial referral hospital. Conclusion: the friend's support is significant for improving the quality of life of cancer patients. Peer groups are an essential component in managing health care in the community.

癌症患者的社会支持和生活质量:西爪哇姑息治疗庇护所的研究

背景:生活方式和环境的风险会导致癌症患病率的增加。因此，姑息性癌症患者需要管理支持。本研究的目的是了解社会支持特征与癌症患者生活质量的相关性。方法:本研究采用横断面方法在几个姑息治疗中心进行。样本为93名受访者，采用配额抽样技术获得。使用的变量是社会支持(家庭、朋友和其他人)和癌症患者的生活质量。结果:从家庭中获得高水平社会支持最多，多达65人(69.9%)。与癌症患者生活质量相关的社会支持因子为朋友支持(p值<0.05)，其他因素均不相关。由于在西爪哇省转诊医院寻求治疗的病人的动态，采用了收集数据技术。结论:朋友的支持对提高癌症患者的生活质量具有重要意义。同侪团体是管理社区卫生保健的重要组成部分。
