摘要
癌症诊断会扰乱青少年和年轻人的社交网络,影响他们的整体健康和福祉。本横断面研究考察了加拿大aya癌症患者的社会网络整合(SNI;规模和接触频率)。一项调查在一个城市癌症中心和加拿大各地向患有癌症的助理护士分发(n = 334)。SNI是用伯克曼-赛姆社会网络指数(SNI)和一个修改版本的在线互动(SNI+)来衡量的。进行多变量logistic回归分析以确定与SNI和SNI+相关的因素。分别有54.8%和68%的癌症aya患者被归类为社会整合者。与他人一起生活与更严重的SNI和SNI+相关(SNI OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.39, 7.72; SNI+ OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.14, 5.58),个人年收入80万加元与更严重的SNI+相关(SNI+ OR = 2.92, 95% CI = 1.09, 7.77)。患有癌症的aya中有很大一部分是社会孤立的。患有癌症的未成年人独居,个人收入低于8万加元,面临社会孤立的风险更高。可以利用数字技术来增加患癌AYAs的SNI。
Social Networks of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study.
A cancer diagnosis disrupts the social networks of adolescents and young adults (AYAs), impacting their overall health and wellbeing. This cross-sectional study examined the social network integration (SNI; size and frequency of contact) of AYAs with cancer in Canada. A survey was distributed to AYAs with cancer at an urban cancer centre and across Canada (n = 334). SNI was measured with the Berkman-Syme Social Network Index (SNI) and a modified version accounting for online interactions (SNI+). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with SNI and SNI+. A total of 54.8% and 68% of AYAs with cancer were classified as socially integrated with each measure, respectively. Living with others was associated with greater SNI and SNI+ (SNI OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.39, 7.72; SNI+ OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.14, 5.58), and an annual personal income of >CAD 80,000 was associated with greater SNI+ (SNI+ OR = 2.92, 95% CI = 1.09, 7.77). A significant proportion of AYAs with cancer are socially isolated. AYAs with cancer who live alone and whose personal income is less than CAD 80,000 are at a higher risk of social isolation. Digital technology could be leveraged to increase the SNI of AYAs with cancer.
期刊介绍:
Current Oncology is a peer-reviewed, Canadian-based and internationally respected journal. Current Oncology represents a multidisciplinary medium encompassing health care workers in the field of cancer therapy in Canada to report upon and to review progress in the management of this disease.
We encourage submissions from all fields of cancer medicine, including radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, pediatric oncology, pathology, and cancer rehabilitation and survivorship. Articles published in the journal typically contain information that is relevant directly to clinical oncology practice, and have clear potential for application to the current or future practice of cancer medicine.
