Correlation between social support and psychological resilience levels in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery: a descriptive study

Resilience and related factors in colorectal cancer patients: A systematic review

“…The studies generally reported that colorectal cancer patients received moderate to high levels of social support (Table 3), although Costa et al (2017) found that patients were not always satisfied with their social activities (mean 2.5, range 1-5). A positive association between social support and resilience was reported in several studies (Dong et al, 2017;Ҫakir et al, 2021;Costa et al, 2017), and confirmed via structural equation modeling (SEM) by both Costa et al (2017) (β = 0.240, p < 0.05) and Dong et al (2017) (β = 0.440, p < 0.01).…”

“…However, most of these associations were reported in research employing a cross-sectional design (n = 9), and thus, cannot provide information about how these relationships changed over time. Furthermore, resilience was an outcome variable in only three of the reviewed studies (Ҫakir et al, 2021;Lin et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…All of the included studies measured resilience levels, but only three studies included resilience as an outcome variable (Ҫakir et al, 2021;Lin et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020). Resilience was described as a changeable path (Solano et al, 2016), response (Lin et al, 2020), and adaptation process.…”

“…Resilience was described as a changeable path (Solano et al, 2016), response (Lin et al, 2020), and adaptation process. Resilience was also treated as an individual quality, more specifically, it was described as toughness (Zhang et al, 2020), capacity (Baziliansky and Cohen, 2020;Ҫakir et al, 2021), and a coping ability (Gouzman et al, 2015). However, in most studies, resilience was seen as a mediator (Cohen et al, 2014;Dong et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2019) or an ally (Costa et al, 2017) for positive changes (Cohen et al, 2014;Gouzman et al, 2015;Solano et al, 2016;Costa et al, 2017;Dong et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2019Zhang et al, , 2020 and better adjustment (Cohen et al, 2014;Gouzman et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2017).…”

The Role of Socioeconomic Status, Family Resilience, and Social Support in Predicting Psychological Resilience Among Chinese Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients

“…Social support, a multidimensional concept, is defined as the provision of psychological and material resources by caregivers, medical staff, and other social networks to benefit an individual's ability to cope with stress ( 22 ). The subjective perception of social support has been identified as a protective factor for psychological resilience in other populations, such as adolescents ( 23 , 24 ), cancer patients ( 25 , 26 ), and older individuals ( 27 ). However, the role of objective social support on psychological resilience is less clear.…”
