Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to study the different relationship between the social support from the social environment and social support from the partner to women with breast cancer, the interaction of the two forms of support and the differences compared with the general population of women. Specifically, 187 participants took part in the research, out of which, 89 women had breast cancer, 87 women were in general population and 16 were men partners of the women-patients. The questionnaires were given in paper and electronic form. The results showed that the positive and common dyadic coping is positively associated with the quality of life and relationship of women with breast cancer, while the negative dyadic coping is negatively related to the quality of life and relationship. With regard to partners, the negative dyadic coping is negatively associated with the life satisfaction and quality relationship. Moreover, it was found that social support from social environment is positively correlated with the quality of life of women, while the support interaction between others’ and partner’s support is a predictor of quality of life in women from general population. Finally, no differences were found between women with breast cancer and women from the general population.
