The study aims to analyze the effect of social capital, social support, hope, and self-compassion toward the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Subjects and Method: It was a cross sectional study conducted from December 2019 -January 2020. The sample used was 200 breast cancer survivors aged ≥18 years old and were selected by using simple random sampling in Lovely Pink Community Solo. The dependent variable was the symptom and functional aspects of quality of life of breast cancer survivors. The independent variables were sociodemography factor, social capital, social support, hope, and self compassion. Data collection were conducted by using questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted by using path analysis with Stata 13. Results: Good quality of life among breast cancer survivors increased and was directly affected by symptom aspect with strong social support (b= 6.63; CI 95%= 2.52 up to 10.76; p= 0.002), high social capital (b= 3.73; CI 95%= 1.17 up to 6.30; p= 0.004), high self-compassion (b= 3.17; CI 95%= 0.57 up to 5.77; p= 0.017), education ≥high school (b= 4.19; CI 95%= 1.41 up to 6.97; p= 0.003), age ≥50 years (b= 1.78; CI 95%= 0.05 up to 3.51; p= 0.044), and high hope (b= 4.80; CI 95%= 1.85 up to 7.75; p= 0.001). Good quality of life among breast cancer survivors increased and was directly affected by functional aspects with strong social support (b= 3.13; CI 95%= 1.61 up to 4.64; p< 0.001), high social capital (b= 1.74; CI 95%= 0.31 up to 3.17; p= 0.017), high self-compassion (b= 1.60; CI 95%= 0.24 up to 2.94; p= 0.021), education ≥high school (b= 2.41; CI 95%= 0.95 up to 3.86; p= 0.001), age ≥50 years (b= 1.38; CI 95%= 0.11 up to 2.66; p= 0.034), and high hope (b= 2.42; CI 95%= 0.98 up to 3.86; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Good quality of life among breast cancer survivors in symptom and functional aspects is affected by strong social support, high social capital, high hope, high self-compassion, high education (≥high school), and age ≥50 years old.

“…The results suggested a positive and significant correlation between social capital and the physical (0.24) and mental health dimensions (0.26) of QoL. Although the association between QoL and social capital in pregnant women had not previously been studied, positive and significant associations have been reported between social capital and QoL (as well as other aspects of health in other age and social groups) [6, 8, 28–31]. For example, in a study by Rajabi et al (2013), the Pearson correlation coefficient between the total social capital of teachers (both male and female)—including the physical and mental components of QoL—was 0.14 [17].…”

BackgroundQuality of life (QoL) is a multidimensional concept that is affected by various factors. According to the literature, social capital is one of the key determinants of QoL that improves the living conditions of the entire community. This study aimed to investigate the association between social capital and QoL in pregnant women.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 240 pregnant women with a mean age of 27.98 years who were referred to healthcare centers in Qazvin, Iran. A two-stage random sampling method was used to select the health centers and participants. Social capital, QoL, demographic and obstetric characteristics were assessed.ResultsThe mean scores of social capital, physical and mental dimensions of quality of life were 67.43, 70.2 and 71.88 respectively. All dimensions of social capital except for family and friends’ connection and tolerance of diversity had positive significant correlations with the physical and mental health dimensions of quality of life (r = 0.17 to 0.28 p < 0.05). A univariate regression model revealed that social capital had a significant association with both the physical health (B = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.19–0.61, p < 0.001) and mental health (B = 0 .44, 95% CI: 0.18–0.58, p < 0.001) dimensions of pregnant women’s quality of life. In the adjusted model, each unit increase of social capital increased pregnant women’s QoL in both the physical health and mental health dimensions.ConclusionSocial capital has a significant association with women’s QoL during pregnancy. Therefore, QoL during pregnancy could be improved by considering physical, psychological and social components of their healthcare.

“…Psychological hardiness as an internal resistance resource reduces the detrimental effects of stress and prevents the improvement of physical and psychological disorders [14]. Kakpour and Teymouri found that hardy women are more likely to attend treatment sessions than others [25,26]. The people with high psychological hardiness compared with those who have lower psychological hardiness are less likely to be physically or mentally damaged in response to life pressures.…”

Psychological hardiness and social support are two necessary health-elevating factors that strengthen individuals to remain both psychologically and physically healthy despite encountering negative life events. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the relationship between psychological hardiness and social support in women with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 110 women with breast cancer in the Shafa Hospital of Ahvaz, Iran in 2018-2019. The personal/demographic/illness questionnaire, Kobasa Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were research tools. Data were analyzed by the one-sample t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation at a significance level of P<0.05. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between perceived social support and psychological hardiness (r=0.045; P<0.05) and perceived social support and commitment (r=0.469; P<0.05). Also, there was a positive and significant correlation between perceived social support and control (r=0.429; P<0.05) and perceived social support and challenging (r=0.266; P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that psychological hardiness and social supports have a significant relationship; therefore, healthcare providers can use these personality attributes in their care plans for better coping strategies. Perceived social support and psychological hardness can be effective in progressing the patients' health and should be considered as effective moderating factors in their therapy process.
