Resumen
MONTIER-IGLESIAS, Osniel y MONTIER-IGLESIAS, Ariel. Social support perceived by relatives of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1 Epub 01-Ene-2023. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
social support has a great impact on the processes of adaptation to illness, recovery and rehabilitation. The perceived dimension of this category is a cognitive assessment that describes the degree to which the subject perceives the existence of sufficient and adequate support-providing relationships.
Objective:
to study in depth the contribution of social support perceived by family members to the comprehensive care of the child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Methods:
a bibliographic review was carried out using national and international sources specialized in the subject based on a reflexive analysis from a theoretical point of view.
Results:
many investigations agree that the true social support is the perceived one, arguing that if the subject does not perceive the help offered or the external resources that are available to him/her, these will hardly influence his/her health and well-being, especially in the case of relatives of children with diseases such as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Conclusions:
knowledge of the social support perceived by relatives allows us to obtain a more realistic view of the felt needs of families and children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and contributes to the improvement of comprehensive care.
