目前,还没有针对癌症的社会支持量表。本研究的目的是开发一种癌症特异性量表,不仅能有效反映癌症患者的经历,而且能在忙碌的临床环境中快速简便地使用。从肿瘤科病房和门诊选择了60例初步诊断为癌症的患者,并对他们进行了Bottomley社会支持量表和医院焦虑和抑郁量表。结果表明,一个有效的和可靠的社会支持量表,可用于与其他措施在临床环境中。这项措施的临床意义是,它将使医务人员和支助人员能够评估社会支持的水平,并实施任何适当的社会支持干预措施。
At present, no social support scale exists that is cancer-specific. The objective of the study was to develop a cancer-specific scale that not only had validity in reflecting the experiences of cancer patients, but also one that was quick and easy to use in a busy clinical environment. Sixty patients with a primary diagnosis of cancer were selected from oncology wards and out-patient clinics, and they were administered the Bottomley Social Support Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The results indicate a valid and reliable social support scale that could be used in conjunction with other measures in a clinical setting. The clinical implications of the measure are that it will allow medical and support staff to assess the levels of social support and implement any appropriate social support interventions.
