Four hundred and twenty-six participants volunteered to participate in this study. A total of 159 men and 281 women comprised the sample. The sample was composed of 99 cancer stricken patients, 97 caregivers, 124 participants from the general population, and 126 people who were related to them in a similar manner that caregivers were related to patients (i.e. spouse, intimate partner, child, family member, etc.). Utilizing the Loneliness Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MPSS), and the Sense of Coherence (SOC) questionnaires, it was found that significant differences among the four groups were found on Reflection and Acceptance, Self-development and Understanding, Social Support Network, Distancing and Denial, and on the Increased Activity subscales. Significant differences were not found on the Religion and Faith subscale. The findings are interpreted in light of the analyses of the other two measures which address the social support that patients and caregivers received and their SOC.
四百二十六名参与者自愿参加了这项研究。共有 159 名男性和 281 名女性组成了样本。该样本由 99 名癌症患者、97 名护理人员、124 名普通人群参与者和 126 名与患者有类似关系的人（即配偶、亲密伴侣、子女、家庭成员等）组成。利用孤独感问卷、多维感知社会支持量表（MPSS）和心理韧性量表（SOC），发现四个组在反思与接纳、自我发展与理解、社会支持网络、疏远与否认以及活动增加等分量表上存在显著差异。在宗教和信仰分量表上没有发现显著差异。研究结果结合了对患者和护理人员所获得的社会支持以及他们的心理韧性的另外两个指标的分析进行了解释。
