The connotations of the term "support" have contributed to a widespread, diverse, and imprecise psychological usage. Oversimplification of complex clinical issues is most likely to occur when the concept of support is applied by staff with varied training and experience to patients with a serious illness such as cancer. This report distinguishes four principal meanings of support--comfort, strengthening, maintenance, and advocacy--offering a basis for individualized care of patients in a variety of clinical contexts.
“支持”一词的内涵导致了其在心理学领域被广泛、多样且不精确地使用。当接受过不同培训、有着不同经验的工作人员将支持概念应用于患有诸如癌症等严重疾病的患者时，极有可能出现对复杂临床问题的过度简化。本报告区分了支持的四种主要含义——安慰、强化、维持和支持——为在各种临床环境中对患者进行个性化护理提供了依据。
