Network and social support are resources that nursing can offer to families. This review identifies which aspects of social support are being investigated for the family of the cancer patient. Fifty one articles were found of which 70% were quantitative research and 26% were published in the last two years. The issues addressed were: Family caregivers as provider of social support; Factors that interfere with social support; Religiosity as social support as well as support coming from educative programs, group activity and technological resources. Of these papers, 49% were written by nurses, with international emphasis on needs assessment, family experiences and support offered, while national articles emphasize definition concepts and identifying family needs focusing on intervention planning.
Este trabalho baseou-se nos pressupostos do Interacionismo Simbólico (IS) e da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD), para a compreensão da vivência de famílias que possuem um membro com câncer. Foram sujeitos do estudo cinco famílias de pacientes adultos com diagnóstico de câncer, perfazendo o total de doze pessoas. Os dados foram coletados no domicílio, mediante entrevista a díades ou tríades de membros familiares, tendo como questão norteadora "Como tem sido para vocês a experiência de vivenciar a doença na família?" As entrevistas transcritas foram analisadas seguindo os passos iniciais da TFD e apontaram as categorias conceituais: "Descobrindo o câncer"; "Enfrentando a doença"; "Sofrendo as consequências" e "Ultrapassando os limites", mostrando como a família se reorganiza para superar as crises. A compreensão de como a família encara os desafios impostos pelo câncer e desenvolve estratégias de enfrentamento das dificuldades orienta a enfermagem para a prestação de um cuidado centrado na família.
