The effect of perceived social support on chemotherapy-related symptoms in patients with breast cancer: A prospective observational study
2020, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :The higher PSS in patients with breast cancer, the better their adjustment to the disease [13]. Social support from other people helps patients cope with the fears and ambiguity related to cancer and its treatment, buffering its negative impact [14,15]. In addition, social support is related to fewer recurrences and a longer survival rate in patients with breast cancer [16].
Health and personal resources in older patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy
2013, Journal of Geriatric OncologyCitation Excerpt :Whereas a strong social support system is thought to be advantageous in dealing with stressful situations, advancing age is often accompanied by loss of key contacts due to death, retirement, and relocation. Early studies with patients with cancer found emotional support and social exchange predictive of well-being in patients with cancer and inadequate support associated with maladjustment to a cancer diagnosis and depression [15–19]. In patients with breast cancer, social support has been found to modify the effect of cancer-related intrusive thoughts on QOL, and to have direct effects on mental health [20,21].
