“…20 The spouse or partner, among the relatives, is responsible for offering 94.3% of social support in coping with the disease. 21 In the present study, it was observed the absence of family member/companion, throughout the therapeutic itinerary developed in another city, contributed to aggravate patient's insecurity, as verified in speeches by PM53RECTUM and PF49BREAST. Thus, the need for health professionals to use strategies to strengthen the family bond, in order to provide and facilitate the search for intra-family support, although it is difficult to experience the patient's fragility in the face of illness.…”

Objective: To understand the feelings and difficulties experienced by cancer patients in relation to the diagnostic and therapeutic itineraries. Methods: An exploratory study of a qualitative nature, developed with 13 people with cancer, through an interview. In the period from June to September of 2017 data were collected and later submitted to content analysis. Results: The results included the unpleasant feelings that patients with cancer experience, and the recognition of factors that influence the re-signification of this phase. In addition, we observed the difficulties that perpass the routine of treatment and that compromise the basic needs of these individuals. Final considerations: It was understood that during the experience of the diagnostic and therapeutic itinerary, people with cancer experience negative feelings and many difficulties. However, some factors make possible the resignification of the disease and need to be considered by health professionals and managers to minimize the impact of the disease during this journey.

“…Según Bloom et al (12) , el apoyo emocional está relacionado con un mayor bienestar mental, al igual que la autoestima. Por tanto, al incrementar el apoyo social se tienen efectos positivos en el funcionamiento biopsicosocial y en la calidad de vida; disminuyendo la probabilidad de padecer depresión (11,13) . Salakari et al (13) mencionan en su estudio que, las parejas eran identificadas como la mayor fuente de apoyo para afrontar la trayectoria del cáncer, mientras que el apoyo de otras personas cercanas no era tan relevante para las mujeres.…”

Objetivo: Indagar si las intervenciones basadas en coping diádico o afrontamiento en pareja han sido favorables, en casos donde la mujer esta diagnosticada con cáncer de mama. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura siguiendo el método PRISMA, en las bases de datos APA PsycNET, PubMed, Embase, Scopus y Wiley Online Library, tanto en español como en inglés. Los artículos obtenidos fueron analizados con una matriz y se calificaron a partir de criterios de evaluación para estudios cuantitativos y cualitativos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 8 artículos publicados entre 2004 y 2018. Las intervenciones se enfocaron en el entrenamiento de variables como: coping diádico, autoimagen, intimidad sexual, reducción de estrés y angustia emocional, mejoría en el funcionamiento de pareja y crecimiento postraumático. Según los resultados, las intervenciones basadas en coping diádico ayudaron a desarrollar diferentes habilidades en las parejas, pese a que el efecto fue a corto plazo. Conclusiones: Se encontró que la investigación sobre los efectos de intervenciones en pareja para afrontar el cáncer de mama es limitada en América Latina. Además, se observó que el coping diádico es una variable no lineal que cambia en el proceso de salud-enfermedad. Finalmente, los artículos sugieren que el cáncer de mama es una enfermedad que trae consecuencias biopsicosociales a ambos miembros de la pareja.

“…The social environment and social support from significant others is particularly important for cancer survivorship, as cancer survivors are often afraid of recurrence, face late effects of cancer treatment and chronic illnesses other than cancer that require lifestyle changes, and often encounter problems in their social lives (Jefford et al, 2017;Takahashi, 2016). Although family caregivers are primary support providers for cancer survivors (Crookes et al, 2016;Salakari et al, 2017), friends are important informal support resources for Japanese cancer survivors (Taniguchi & Wakasaki, 2016), so that it is important to maintain or improve relationships between cancer patients and their friends after disclosing cancer.…”

Objectives Stigma, anticipated responses from others, and their relationships may affect patients’ decision‐making of cancer disclosure. However, little research has explored responses to cancer disclosure and the outcome from receivers’ perspectives who had stereotypic views of cancer. This vignette study aimed to explore how lay people with negative attitude to cancer would react to the friend's cancer disclosure. Methods A cross‐sectional survey study was conducted in community organisations. Of 161 recruited, 91 participants returned their questionnaires (56.5% of response rate). A total of 88 responses to open‐ended questions were qualitatively analysed. Results Thematic analysis extracted four themes: ‘Initial emotional reactions and the acceptance of the friend’s cancer diagnosis’; ‘Empathy, trust and helping intention’; ‘Sharing informational and emotional support provision’; and ‘Offering help, but waiting and seeing the friend's request.’ As a result of comparison to these themes by the participants’ familiarity of cancer patients in their real life, it was found that participants, who had not known any cancer patients, did not report the acceptance of the friends’ cancer diagnosis and informational support provision to share. Conclusion Intervention for lay people who felt difficulty with accepting friends’ cancer diagnosis may be helpful to reduce the impact of friends’ cancer diagnosis.
