摘要: 目的：了解青年癌症患者社交状况，探讨社会支持水平对社交状况的影响。方法：2021年3~9月，采用一般人口学资料，领悟社会支持量表，社交回避与苦恼量表对山东省某三甲医院肿瘤中心就诊的212名青年癌症患者进行问卷调查。采用多元线性回归分析社会支持对社交回避与苦恼的影响。结果：本研究共发放问卷份230份，回收有效问卷212份，有效应答率92.2%。青年癌症患者社交回避与苦恼得分为(11.37 ± 7.35)。多元线性回归分析结果显示性别、月收入和社会支持水平对社交回避与苦恼有影响(p < 0.05)。青年癌症患者的社会支持可以负向预测其社交回避与苦恼。结论：采取相应措施增加患者的社会支持水平，可以减轻其社交回避与苦恼，增加治疗的依从性，帮助青年癌症患者更好的重新融入社会生活，提升患者的健康结局。
