目的
社交媒体 (SM) 是年轻人 (YA) 社会支持的新兴来源。我们探索了在 Instagram 上交流青少年癌症的语言以及社会支持指标（即点赞和评论的数量）。
方法
使用 #youngadultcancer 的 Instagram 帖子是随机选择的 (N = 50)。收集文本和主题标签，并根据性别（女性和男性）、治疗状态（积极治疗和幸存者）、用户类型（个人和组织）以及护理人员状态（是和否）对帖子进行编码。使用 Yoshikoder 和语言查询字数统计来测量社会支持、效价（例如，积极与消极术语）和词汇内容（例如，情感术语和代词）的指标，并按性别、治疗状态、用户类型和护理人员状态进行比较。
结果
与积极治疗中的帖子相比，幸存者的帖子获得更多点赞（平均值：54.5 vs. 32.3，p = 0.03）。个人帖子的评论多于组织的评论（平均值：5.3 vs. 1.2，p = 0.01）。幸存者 (p<0.01) 和积极治疗者 (20% vs. 9%, p=0.04) 使用积极术语 (30%) 多于消极术语 (13%)。个人使用的积极语言多于消极语言（p<<0.01），而组织使用的积极和消极术语相同。与积极治疗的患者相比，幸存者使用更多的情感术语（79.6% vs. 34.9%，p < 0.01）和更少的代词（平均值：39.5 vs. 71.7，p = 0.01）。组织（71.0%）比个人（55.9%，p = 0.03）使用更多的情感术语。
结论
我们描述了 Instagram 用户如何交流有关青少年癌症的信息，以及他们使用的语言是否能获得社会支持。研究在线语言使用可能有助于青少年患者、护理人员和组织使用 SM 来获得社会支持。
PURPOSE
Social media (SM) is a burgeoning source of social support for young adults (YAs). We explored the language used to communicate about YA cancer on Instagram and for indicators of social support (i.e., number of likes and comments).
METHODS
Instagram posts using #youngadultcancer were randomly selected (N = 50). Text and hashtags were collected, and posts were coded for gender (female and male), treatment status (active treatment and survivorship), type of user (individual and organization), and caregiver status (yes and no). Indicators of social support, valence (e.g., positive vs. negative terms), and lexical content (e.g., emotional terms and pronouns) were measured using Yoshikoder and Linguistic Inquiry Word Count and compared by gender, treatment status, type of user, and caregiver status.
RESULTS
Survivors' posts had more likes compared to those in active treatment (mean: 54.5 vs. 32.3, p = 0.03). Individuals' posts had more comments than those of organizations (mean: 5.3 vs. 1.2, p = 0.01). More positive (30%) than negative (13%) terms were used by survivors (p < 0.01) and those in active treatment (20% vs. 9%, p = 0.04). Individuals' used more positive than negative language (p < 0.01), whereas organizations used equally positive and negative terms. Survivors used more emotional terms (79.6% vs. 34.9%, p < 0.01) and fewer pronouns (mean: 39.5 vs. 71.7, p = 0.01) than those in active treatment. Organizations (71.0%) used more emotional terms than individuals (55.9%, p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS
We describe how Instagram users communicate about YA cancer and whether the language they use garners social support. Studying online language use may help YA patients, caregivers, and organizations use SM to gain social support.
