The aim of this study was to analyze the associations between perceived social support and sociodemographic variables on coping strategies.
A prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted in 404 women with resected, non-metastatic breast cancer. Participants completed questionnaires: perceived social support (MSPSS), coping strategies (Mini-MAC), and psychological distress (BSI-18).
Sociodemographic factors as age, education, and partnership status were associated with coping strategies. As for maladaptive strategies, hopelessness was more frequent in older people and lower educational level; fatalism in older and single people, and cognitive avoidance was associated with lower educational level. Suppor t from family, friends, and partners was associated with a greater fighting spirit. In contrast, high psychological distress (anxiety and depression) was associated with greater use of maladaptive strategies.
Young people, a high level of education, having a partner, low psychological distress, and seeking social support were associated with the use of adaptive cancer coping strategies.
本研究旨在分析感知社会支持与应对策略的社会人口学变量之间的关系。
在 404 名接受过非转移性乳腺癌切除术的女性中进行了一项前瞻性、横断面、多中心研究。参与者完成了以下问卷:感知社会支持(MSPSS)、应对策略(Mini-MAC)和心理困扰(BSI-18)。
社会人口学因素,如年龄、教育程度和婚姻状况与应对策略有关。在适应不良策略方面,绝望情绪在老年人和教育程度较低的人群中更为常见;宿命论在老年人和单身人群中更为常见,认知回避与较低的教育程度有关。来自家庭、朋友和伴侣的支持与更大的斗志有关。相比之下,较高的心理困扰(焦虑和抑郁)与更多地使用适应不良策略有关。
年轻人、较高的教育程度、有伴侣、较低的心理困扰和寻求社会支持与使用适应性癌症应对策略有关。
