Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To describe social support patterns of gay and bisexual men with prostate cancer (GBMPCa) and how social support is associated with prostate cancer outcomes.

SAMPLE & SETTING: A cross-sectional online survey with 186 GBMPCa recruited from a national cancer support group network.

METHODS & VARIABLES: Descriptive statistics of social support and linear regression of social support on general and prostate cancer-specific quality of life (QOL). Social support and health-related QOL were assessed generally and specific to prostate cancer.

RESULTS

Participants primarily relied on partners or husbands, gay and bisexual friends, chosen family, and men from support groups for support. The most common types of support received were informational and emotional social support. Low general social support was significantly associated with worse prostate cancer symptom bother and general mental QOL. Wanting more social support was significantly associated with worse prostate cancer-specific and general QOL.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING

Clinicians should be aware of the different social support networks and needs of GBMPCa and refer them to relevant support groups to improve QOL.

摘要

目的

描述患有前列腺癌的男同性恋者和双性恋男性(GBMPCa)的社会支持模式,以及社会支持与前列腺癌预后的关联。

样本与背景

一项横断面在线调查,从一个全国性癌症支持团体网络招募了186名GBMPCa患者。

方法与变量

社会支持的描述性统计,以及社会支持对总体和前列腺癌特异性生活质量(QOL)的线性回归。从总体和前列腺癌特异性方面评估社会支持和与健康相关的QOL。

结果

参与者主要依靠伴侣或丈夫、男同性恋和双性恋朋友、选定的家人以及支持团体中的男性提供支持。获得的最常见支持类型是信息性和情感性社会支持。总体社会支持水平低与前列腺癌症状困扰更严重和总体心理QOL较差显著相关。希望获得更多社会支持与前列腺癌特异性和总体QOL较差显著相关。

对护理的启示

临床医生应了解GBMPCa患者不同的社会支持网络和需求,并将他们转介到相关支持团体以改善QOL。
