Attachment style and perceived social support as predictors of biopsychosocial adjustment to cancer

Abstract

Reaction of an isocyanide with an iminium ion intermediate, formed by reaction between 2-oxo-2phenylacetaldehyde and a secondary amine in the presence of silica nanoparticles, proceeds smoothly at room temperature to afford ketoamide derivatives in high yields.

Psychological distress and quality of life in Chinese early-stage breast cancer patients throughout chemotherapy

“…Patients lacking social family support were more likely to have psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. 11 , 30 , 31 In our study, patients without a family history of tumors and those who received breast-conserving surgery were more likely to develop depression than patients who had a family history or those who received mastectomy. It may be that patients without a family history have less knowledge about breast cancer, which results in poor psychological endurance.…”

Psychosocial and clinical predictors of patient satisfaction with cancer care

“…Social support was found to be associated with a greater sense of community and hence general satisfaction with life ( Hombrados-Mendieta et al, 2019 ). It was shown that higher perceived social support had a positive impact on patient attitudes toward healthcare and family relationships ( YILMAZ ÖZPOLAT et al, 2014 ). This finding emphasizes the need for social workers in every oncology setting ( Thome et al, 2018 ).…”

Attachment to Church Congregation: Contributions to Well-Being over and above Social Support

“…Though many studies of social support have been conducted on those experiencing trauma or other stressful events, the buffering effects of social support have also been studied in the context of daily stress (e.g., DeLongis, Folkman, & Lazarus, 1988) and in the context of religious settings (i.e., whether or not one receives support from members of their church congregation, Krause, 1999). Further, the literature examining social support and well-being is not solely predicated on receiving it, but also whether one seeks it (e.g., Fisher, Goff, Nadler, & Chinsky, 1988), whether one provides it (e.g., Liang, Krause, & Bennett, 2001), and whether one perceives it (e.g., Yilmaz Özpolat, Ayaz, Konağ, & Özkan, 2014). Clearly, there are many ways to operationalize social support.…”
