Social support has emerged in the last decade as a significant health behavior and, therefore, a promising focus of theory development in nursing. Nursing's concern with health, environment, and person provides an ideal perspective from which to take the lead in research, instrument development, and theory construction in social support. The focus of this article is the present development of the construct to assist nurse scholars toward an adequate conception of social support. Theoretical frameworks underlying definitions are examined, and issues of measurement and clinical assessment are discussed.
在过去十年中，社会支持已成为一种重要的健康行为，因此也成为护理领域理论发展的一个有前景的焦点。护理对健康、环境和人的关注提供了一个理想的视角，使护理能够在社会支持的研究、工具开发和理论构建方面发挥引领作用。本文的重点是该概念的当前发展情况，以帮助护理学者充分理解社会支持。文章审视了定义背后的理论框架，并讨论了测量和临床评估方面的问题。
