유방암 및 부인과 암 생존자의 사회적 지지: 암 병기 및 생존단계별 비교분석 = Social Support in Korean Breast and Gynecological Cancer Survivors: Comparison by the cancer stage at diagnosis and the stage of cancer survivorship

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to understand the social support among Korean breast and gynecological cancer survivors by examining the differences according to cancer stage at diagnosis and the stage of cancer survivorship. Thus, this study tried to suggest the strategies for social work intervention based on the survivors` specific needs. The research subjects were 110 breast and gynecological cancer survivors in Korea. The participants were divided into four groups by the cancer stage at diagnosis from 0 to 3 stage and three groups such as acute, extended and long-term survival stages. Analyses of covariance revealed that the participants at stage 3 at diagnosis showed the statistically significant lower level of perceived social support compared to the participants at earlier stages. The participants at stage 3 also showed lower use of supportive care services and needs for services. The participants at acute survival stage showed significantly higher needs for supportive care services compared to the participants at the later survivorship stages. Overall, this study evidenced that the breast and gynecological cancer survivors have distinct recognition and needs related to social support according to their cancer stage and their stage of cancer survivorship. Therefore, this study suggests the specific intervention strategies based on the cancer stage and the stage of survivorship.
