Data were obtained from 50 mastectomy patients and their husbands at 3 days and 30 days postsurgery to determine the nature of the relationship between social support and the adjustment of mastectomy patients and their husbands over time. Psychosocial adjustment was related to both patients' and husbands' levels of social support. Patients and husbands who reported higher levels of social support reported fewer adjustment difficulties at both 3 days and 30 days postsurgery. Patients and husbands differed significantly in the levels of support they perceived over time; husbands perceived less support from friends, nurses, and physicians. This study underscores the importance of assessing the support resources of both patients and husbands over time.
研究收集了50名乳房切除术患者及其丈夫在术后3天和30天的数据，以确定社会支持与乳房切除术患者及其丈夫随时间调整之间关系的性质。心理社会调整与患者和丈夫的社会支持水平均相关。报告社会支持水平较高的患者和丈夫在术后3天和30天报告的调整困难较少。患者和丈夫在随时间感知到的支持水平上存在显著差异；丈夫从朋友、护士和医生那里获得的支持较少。这项研究强调了随时间评估患者和丈夫支持资源的重要性。
