An hypothesized relationship between level of social support during a life-threatening health crisis and subsequent armelioration of psychological distress - the stress buffering hypothesis - was tested with a longitudinal, quasi-experimental research design. A sample of 181 adult patients who had recently been diagnosed with cancer and were about to undergo curative radition therapy was followed through two months post-treatment. Perceived satisfaction with socioemotional support was assessed at the onset of treatment and at its completion six weeks later. Patients' responses were used to develop an index of sustained social support. Distress associated with depressive symptoms was assessed at the completion of treatment and two months later using SCL-90-R. Depression at the two-month follow-up was not significantly related to level of support after controlling for depression when treatment was completed (p < .05, p v .10). The results echo those of other empirical studies with oncologic samples questioning the cost-effectiveness of psychosocial interventions that merely increase the level of social support for patients. |
