The Relationship Between Social Support From Family and Quality of Life Among Cancer Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Subject
Quality of Life, Social support, Family, Cancer
Description
Introduction: Improving the Quality of Life (QoL) is considered one of the main objectives in
the care of cancer patients. Achieving this objective, it is essential to determine the factors
affecting QoL in cancer patients. The studies in the literature have determined the effects of
various factors on QoL but social support from family has remained to be studied.
Objective: The present study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived social
support from family and QoL in cancer patients.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an oncology unit of
a university hospital in İzmir City, Turkey, from March to October 2019. A convenience
sample of 276 cancer patients participated in the study. A patient identification form,
the Perceived Social Support from family scale (PSS-Family), and the Quality of Life index-
cancer version (QLI-C) were used for data collection. The scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C
ranged 0-20 and 66-396, respectively. Regression analysis was used to estimate the effect
of perceived social support from family on QoL.
Results: Of the participants, 65.2% were female. The Mean±SD age of the study sample was
47.5±14.4 years. Also, the Mean±SD scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C were 16.43±3.01 and
307.77±27.48, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that perceived social support from
family was associated with a relative increase in QoL index (B=3.44, P=0.001, R2
=0.141).
Conclusion: Perceived social support from family is positively associated with QoL in cancer
patients. Nurses should consider this relationship when they plan to improve the QoL of
cancer patients.
