Patients and significant others may experience physical and psychological stress symptoms during the recovery time from coronary artery bypass surgery. It has been shown that social support is associated with health and well-being in various situations. It is important to study how patients and significant others describe the social support received.
To describe social support for bypass surgery patients and their significant others from the social network and nurses during hospitalization and the association between demographic variables and support received from nurses.
A descriptive study using a questionnaire. This was a pilot study.
Questionnaires were mailed to 146 subjects and 103 responded. The questionnaires included background variables, the Social Support from the Social Network Scale and the Support from Nurses during Hospitalization Scale.
In most cases, the spouse, children and friends were the major sources of support for patients and significant others. Patients reported equal amounts of both affect and aid or concrete support while significant others reported the highest level of affect and the lowest level of affirmation from the social network. Patients and significant others reported the highest level of affirmation and the lowest level of aid from nurses during hospitalization.
Relatives are important sources of support for bypass surgery patients and their significant others. Patients reported higher levels of all types of social support from both the social network and nurses than did significant others.
The provision of nursing support for significant others can be enhanced by focusing nursing care on the whole family. This would promote the health of the whole family.
在冠状动脉搭桥手术后的恢复期间，患者及其重要他人可能会经历身体和心理上的应激症状。研究表明，在各种情况下，社会支持都与健康和幸福相关。研究患者及其重要他人如何描述所获得的社会支持很重要。
描述住院期间社交网络和护士为搭桥手术患者及其重要他人提供的社会支持，以及人口统计学变量与从护士那里获得的支持之间的关联。
一项使用问卷的描述性研究。这是一项试点研究。
向146名受试者邮寄问卷，103人做出回应。问卷包括背景变量、社交网络社会支持量表和住院期间护士支持量表。
在大多数情况下，配偶、子女和朋友是患者及其重要他人的主要支持来源。患者报告情感支持和援助或具体支持的数量相等，而重要他人报告来自社交网络的情感支持水平最高，肯定支持水平最低。患者及其重要他人报告在住院期间从护士那里获得的肯定支持水平最高，援助支持水平最低。
亲属是搭桥手术患者及其重要他人的重要支持来源。患者报告从社交网络和护士那里获得的各类社会支持水平均高于重要他人。
通过将护理重点放在整个家庭上，可以加强对重要他人的护理支持。这将促进整个家庭的健康。
