The study aimed at investigating the specific role of social support types (SSTs) on quality of life (QoL) and its domains of women with breast cancer in Iran.
In this cross-sectional study, a number of 223 women with breast cancer visiting three cancer centers of Tehran, Iran, participated from October 2014 to May 2015. Medical Outcome Study-Social Support Scale and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Cancer were used for data gathering. Backward multiple regression was utilized, adjusted by age, education, and family size.
The study indicated positive correlations between all SSTs and QoL domains, whereas only positive social interaction (PSI) showed a significant association with physical well-being. PSI showed the only predictive performance in terms of all QoL outcomes, beyond the covariates.
The study revealed the PSI as the most influential support type to enhance all domains of QoL of women with breast cancer.
本研究旨在调查社会支持类型(SSTs)对伊朗乳腺癌女性生活质量(QoL)及其各个领域的具体作用。
在这项横断面研究中,2014年10月至2015年5月期间,来自伊朗德黑兰三个癌症中心的223名乳腺癌女性参与了研究。使用医学结局研究社会支持量表和癌症治疗功能评估乳腺癌量表收集数据。采用向后多元回归分析,并对年龄、教育程度和家庭规模进行了调整。
研究表明,所有社会支持类型与生活质量领域之间均呈正相关,而只有积极的社会互动(PSI)与身体健康呈显著关联。在所有生活质量结果方面,除协变量外,积极的社会互动是唯一具有预测作用的因素。
该研究表明,积极的社会互动是提高乳腺癌女性生活质量所有领域的最具影响力的支持类型。
