Brief Summary:
In cancer patients social support provided by partners family andor friends plays a key role in coping with the disease and reducing treatment-related distress However research indicates that some of the needs of patients such as coping with the disease reducing isolation or managing guilt often go unmet With the aim of trying to meet these types of needs of people with cancer the present research will evaluate the effectiveness of a peer support program in cancer patients based on the support provided or exchanged by people who have faced similar challenges or problems The intervention will consist of 8 face-to-face sessions of social peer support involving a cancer patient and a volunteer who is in a stable phase and who has undergone the same diagnosis and medical treatment To evaluate the effectiveness of the social support program the immediate and long-term effect of participation in the program on both psychological anxious-depressive symptoms quality of life perception of the disease coping strategies perception of social support and biological endocrine and immune system variables will be analyzed
Detailed Description:
The general aim of the present research will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer social support intervention in cancer patients at the Onkologikoa Foundation of Guipuzcoa Specifically the immediate and long-term effect that such intervention will have on symptoms of psychological distress quality of life coping strategy perception of social support perception of the disease and emotional regulation will be evaluated As a secondary aim of this study we intend to evaluate the immediate and long-term effect of the peer social support intervention on the immune system through the determination of the levels of cytokines IL-1β IL-2 IL-6 IL-8 IL-10 IFN-γ and TNF-α on the monoaminergic system through the determination of plasma levels of serotonin tyrosine phenylalanine tryptophan quinurenine quinurenic acid and 3-HK on the HPA axis through the measurement of the diurnal cycle of cortisol and on sex hormones through the measurement of estradiol and testosterone levels systems that have been related both to the development of anxious-depressive symptoms and to the development progression and recurrence of cancer
In addition it will be studied at what time the application of the program is most effective being applied in newly diagnosed patients experimental group 1 and in patients who have just finished medical treatment experimental group 2
