This article describes a framework for research involving a modification of traditional cancer support groups (CSGs) that includes the presence of a caring partner who acts as a coach to facilitate the woman's adaptation to the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The modified CSG and relevant response variables were derived from the Roy Adaptation Model of Nursing. Using the successful models of childbirth and diabetes education, the concept of coaching was introduced to breast CSGs. A review of the literature provides support for reduced symptom distress, reduced emotional distress, greater functional status, and higher quality of interpersonal relations as appropriate outcomes of participation in CSGs with coaching. The results of a pilot study of support groups with coaching are reported, and the goals of a currently ongoing experimental study testing the intervention have been identified.
本文描述了一个涉及对传统癌症支持小组（CSGs）进行改进的研究框架，其中包括有一位关怀伙伴作为指导者，以促进女性适应乳腺癌的诊断和治疗。改进后的CSG及相关反应变量源自罗伊护理适应模式。借鉴分娩和糖尿病教育的成功模式，将指导概念引入乳腺癌支持小组。文献综述表明，参与有指导的支持小组可适当产生减轻症状困扰、减少情绪困扰、改善功能状态以及提高人际关系质量等效果。报告了一项有指导的支持小组试点研究结果，并确定了当前正在进行的测试该干预措施的实验研究目标。
