“…Regarding the category Identifying the social support in home care the national literature corroborate (12)(13)(14) the present study findings, that the social network composition is mainly formed by family members and neighbors in the primary networks and by USESF professionals in the secondary networks. Studies that investigated (12)(13)(14) different contexts and health care subjects pointed to the importance of the social networks for health; this way, it is believed those subjects as well as the patients should be part of the action plan of health professionals.…”

“…Studies that investigated (12)(13)(14) different contexts and health care subjects pointed to the importance of the social networks for health; this way, it is believed those subjects as well as the patients should be part of the action plan of health professionals. It is necessary to think about it, in special when dealing with HC, an environment where those subjects, more than an option in care, should be seen as subjects, who also need assistance by being modified by the reality that they help to change.…”

Gomes IM, Lacerda MR, Mercês NNA RESUMENObjetivo: Construir un modelo teórico que configure la vivencia del apoyo de la red social por las personas en cuidado domiciliario. Método: Estudio de abordaje cualitativa, con la utilización del método Teoría Fundamentada en los Datos. La recopilación y el análisis concomitante de los datos hizo viable la interpretación del significado del fenómeno La vivencia del apoyo de la red social por las personas implicadas en el cuidado domiciliario. Resultados: Se destacó la postura pasiva de la población en la construcción de su bienestar. Reconociendo que debe existir una responsabilidad compartida entre las partes implicadas, población y Estado. Conclusión: Se sugiere que los enfermeros sean estimulados a ampliar el cuidado que realizan en el domicilio para atender las demandas de los cuidadores; y que sean elaborados nuevos estudios con distintas poblaciones, con el fin de validar o complementar el modelo teórico propuesto.

“…This may have a natural explanation as these concepts are not thoroughly defined [32]. Other concepts such as social support, investigated for families of children with cancer, also seem to lack consensus [34]. Another explanation for the different outcomes could be that researchers use a great variety of methods and measurement instruments [32].…”

“…Eiser et al [38] state that there is a need for intervention studies, and attempts to improve knowledge, reintegration into normal life and to promote self-care, are described. Pedro et al [34], investigated social support and they recommend the need for it to be assessed and included in care plans and guidelines. Research has found that family-based psychosocial interventions are feasible, acceptable, and potentially effective to for use in paediatric oncology [43].…”

A literature review of the results from nursing and psychosocial research within Swedish pediatric oncology. Nursing & Care, 3(6) Journal of AbstractThe body of research-based knowledge in paediatric caring science has been increasing leading to dramatic improvements in treatment. The purpose of this manuscript was to analyze results as stated by the researchers', in recently published articles on nursing and psychosocial research, within Swedish pediatric oncology setting. This was done through a review of 137 published articles about paediatric oncology related to caring science in Sweden. The result shows that the illness has affected, in both positive and negative ways, the wellbeing of everyone coming into contact with the child. The cancer also causes distress related to all aspects of life including physical, psychological, existential and social. Mediating factors for the experience of distress and wellbeing are: disease and treatment severity, age, gender and ethnicity of the participant, time since diagnosis, the use of internal and external support, and the identity of the person reporting the data. Health promoting aspects frequently reported are: family togetherness, coping strategies, engaging in normal life and activities, and quality of care which includes emotional support, information and family participation in care. The hospital staff has to be aware of the psychosocial issues experienced by children with cancer and their families, and they have to acknowledge the value of formal interventions, reporting benefits for children, families, and themselves.
