“…The term social support has been considered in studies of health and well-being since the early 1970s (Tsouna-Hadjis et al 2000 ), and is defined as ‘the availability or provision of a relationship, information or assistance that empower a person to manage their day to day life effectively in the presence or absence of crisis’ (Newsham 1998, cited in Beckley 2006 :126). Known as a multi-faceted concept, social support can be categorised into three different elements (Fallatah & Edge 2015 ).

BackgroundThe incidence of cerebrovascular accidents with its devastating effects on individuals is increasing. Post-stroke, restrictions in participation are common and social support could have an influence on this. Social support provided to individuals post-stroke is vital, but the relationship between social support and participation is not well understood.ObjectivesThis review aimed to systematically determine the relationship between social support and participation post-stroke, based on the literature available.MethodEbscohost, Science Direct, Biomed Central, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Pedro Central and Wiley Online were the electronic databases searched between 2001 and 2016. Articles were deemed to be eligible if they met the inclusion criteria and successfully underwent scrutiny to determine their relevance and methodological quality, using tools from the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and Milton Keynes Primary Trust. A narrative synthesis method was used to analyse the included studies.ResultsA total of 54 articles were identified after screening, and six articles were deemed eligible for inclusion. The articles consisted of cross-sectional, qualitative and cohort studies. Articles showed distinct, significant relationships between social support and participation where the quality and quantity of social support were important. High levels of social support had a positive influence on participation, social and leisure activities, as well as returning to work post-stroke.ConclusionA positive relationship exists between social support and participation post-stroke. Health professionals need to include social support interventions when attempting to manage the individual with stroke holistically, as this will have positive effects on participation.

Cancer is a non-communicable disease that causes the second-highest death in the world. The study aimed to examine the relationship between social supports, spirituality with stress towards the burden of family caregivers of cancer patients. We searched literature from various relevant sources such as Ebsco, Science Direct, PubMed, and BMC Medicine, which published from 2012 to 2018. The results showed that social support reduced the stress of family caregivers. Spirituality could be as the coping for the family caregivers in dealing with stress. The factors associated with the high burden of family caregivers of cancer patients included age, cognitive as well as the family caregivers characteristics’. Further studies need to conduct spiritual and social support intervention to examine the effect of the intervention on health outcomes. Keyword: social support, spirituality, stress, caregiving burden, family caregivers of cancer patients. .

While the support that nurses provide to patients has been studied for years, there is a lack of studies addressing the concept of support of nurses. Future research could fill this gap by investigating support of nurses in holistic ways, such as qualitative or mixed-method analysis. Support is not always accessible in a face to face format, so mobile and web options are presented as possible interventional opportunities to meet nurses at the bedside.
