It was noted that there are nine different types of social support, with \"emotional support\" being one of the most important. There are also different providers of social support, with the immediate family being the most common provider. Examples of interventions for nurses as providers of social support were outlined. In addition, the processes involved in the provision of social support, and the costs and consequences of providing social support were discussed. \"Ironically, cancer may often undermine one of the strongest potential resources people have in coping with the disease--their social relationships. In fact, the social relationships of the cancer patient may not only fail to buffer them against the stress of cancer, but may provide additional sources of distress\" (Wortman, 1984, p. 2341).</p>","PeriodicalId":77528,"journal":{"name":"Dimensions in oncology nursing : journal of the Division of Nursing","volume":"3 1","pages":"5-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13817188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant advances have resulted in some improvement in outcome, but mortality remains high. Cancer patients with sepsis must be treated aggressively, and empiric antibiotic therapy, as well as early transfer to an intensive care unit (where invasive monitoring can be undertaken), may prove lifesaving. Though we have stressed early diagnosis and treatment, these issues only address part of the problem: the septic syndrome should also be considered a potentially preventable condition. Meticulous attention to measures designed to prevent infection in immunocompromised patients is perhaps even more important; such measures are sometimes overlooked. Cancer patients are fragile, and they should always be thought of as potential hosts for serious infection. Only with a combination of vigilance at preventing infection as well as early intervention once infection is established can the bleak statistics of the septic syndrome be improved.</p>","PeriodicalId":77528,"journal":{"name":"Dimensions in oncology nursing : journal of the Division of Nursing","volume":"3 4","pages":"9-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13779448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
