Breast cancer is a problem that affects not only the individual's health and quality of life, but also the functionality of the family system. Caregivers experience stress when their patients cannot cope with the symptoms of their disease. The stress experienced by caregivers gives rise to psychological and physical symptoms in them. This study seeks to present a complete set of tools for assessing coping in the spouses or caregivers of women with breast cancer and evaluate the various instruments developed within these lines of inquiry.
A search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Medline, ProQuest, Scopus and Google Scholar and also in the reference lists of the key articles retrieved for any coping assessment instrument targeting family caregivers' needs that had acceptable psychometric properties and was published until September 2019. The instruments used to assess coping in the spouses and caregivers of women with breast cancer were thus identified and their properties were described.
Overall, 88 adaptation assessment tools related to family caregivers of patients with breast cancer were identified in 28 related articles. The tools examine different dimensions of adaptation such as satisfaction, stress, burden and needs of spouses and caregivers of patients with breast cancer.
Assessing family caregivers' coping is essential for providing them with the appropriate sources of support. Although several instruments have been used to assess coping in the spouses and caregivers of women with breast cancer, the properties of these instruments have to be examined before they can be more widely implemented.
乳腺癌不仅影响个人健康和生活质量，还影响家庭系统的功能。当患者无法应对疾病症状时，照顾者会感到压力。照顾者所经历的压力会引发他们的心理和身体症状。本研究旨在提供一套完整的工具，用于评估乳腺癌女性患者配偶或照顾者的应对方式，并评估在这些研究方向上开发的各种工具。
在PubMed、Scopus、科学网、CINAHL、PsycINFO、Medline、ProQuest、Scopus和谷歌学术搜索引擎中进行了检索，同时也在检索到的关键文章的参考文献列表中查找针对家庭照顾者需求、具有可接受心理测量学特性且截至2019年9月已发表的任何应对评估工具。由此确定了用于评估乳腺癌女性患者配偶和照顾者应对方式的工具，并描述了其特性。
总体而言，在28篇相关文章中确定了88种与乳腺癌患者家庭照顾者相关的适应评估工具。这些工具考察了适应的不同维度，如乳腺癌患者配偶和照顾者的满意度、压力、负担和需求。
评估家庭照顾者的应对方式对于为他们提供适当的支持来源至关重要。尽管已经使用了几种工具来评估乳腺癌女性患者配偶和照顾者的应对方式，但在这些工具能够更广泛应用之前，必须对其特性进行考察。
