Abstract

Cancer survivors must adapt in many cases to sequelae and limitations that produce emotional distress and stress daily. Social support can help reduce this discomfort, but the effects of how often it is received still need to be determined or whether its absence produces adverse effects. The present study evaluated the daily discomfort of 60 cancer survivors, using daily recordings, the stress
experienced, and the social support received. The results indicate that receiving social support reduces discomfort in the short term but seems less effective when the patient attributes the cause of discomfort to being a survivor. The reduction in discomfort, however, is not sustained in the long term. These results suggest that the survivor should receive help to cope with daily discomfort and their social environment to understand better its causes to provide more effective support.
