Abstract

Background: Cancer represents a stressful life with negative consequences requiring social support for the patients. This study describes the correlation between PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT and network with quality of life in cancer patients.Material and Methods: This descriptive - correlative study with continuous sampling method was performed on 220 patients in Firoozgar, and Hazrat Rasool hospitals and Emam Khomeini cancer Institute. Data obtained through social support questionnaires (SSQ) and the Ferrans and Powers quality of life index- Cancer version (QLI-CV), and analyzed using SPSS version 13, descriptive statistics, spearman correlation and multiple linear regression tests.Results: 56.4% of patients had experienced a moderately good quality of life, while most of them received a moderate to high social support from their middle-size SOCIAL NETWORKs. A significant positive correlation was found between PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT and quality of life (rs=0.415, p<0.001) especially with family dimensions and size of SOCIAL NETWORK (rs =0.245, p<0.001). Multiple linear regression test represents 20.20% variation of quality of life related to PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT (R2=0.2020).Conclusions: PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT accounted for only 20.20% of variants in quality of life while a large amount of variances remain unexplained; so further researches are recommended on this issue.
