BACKGROUND: Social support is known as an affection-oriented coping mechanism when a person is involved with cancer. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between family social support and the meaning of life in women with breast cancer.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 84 women with a mean age of 60 (SD = 5.7) years with breast cancer who were admitted to a teaching hospital participated. Data were collected using social support and meaning of life questionnaires. After collecting the completed questionnaires and entering the data into the computer, the analysis was performed using SPSS software and using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation test at a significant level of 0.01.RESULTS: The mean score of their social support was 39.35 ± 9.51, respectively and the meaning of life was 29.5 ± 7.49. ANOVA results indicated that the social support score and meaning of life had no significant relationship with any of the demographic variables. Also, the findings suggest that there is a statistically significant correlation between social support and the meaning of life (r = 0.773, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: It is proposed to increase the level of social support from the family to help improve the meaning of life in cancer patients.

“…Many Iranian nurses suffer from a poor public image and low social status, which weakens the mental and functional health of nurses (Roshangar et al, 2021). The media plays an important role in creating the correct social status of Iranian nurses (Jadidi et al, 2022). In line with previous studies in Iran (Radfar et al, 2021; Varaei et al, 2023; Zamanzadeh et al, 2021), after the COVID‐19 pandemic, Iranian society's view of the nursing profession was improved and the social role of nurses was emphasized.…”

AimNurses are a vital resource in providing care to COVID‐19 patients. During adaptation to the pandemic, the mental health of nurses was disturbed. The present study aimed to explain the resilience development process and adaptive strategies of first‐line nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsThis study was conducted based on the grounded theory qualitative approach. Twenty‐two Iranian first‐line nurses, who were employed in one teaching hospital in Qazvin city, were included via purposive and theoretical sampling. The data were collected through semi‐structured interviews and were analyzed based on the Corbin and Strauss approach 2015.ResultsThe resilience development process of nurses had three stages including initial confrontation with changes, managing conditions and reorganizing, developing resilience. Professional commitment was identified as a core category that affected all stages of resilience development. Negative emotions, nurses' characteristics, and caring challenges were identified as contextual factors which affected the adaptation of nurses to the COVID‐19 pandemic and the development of resilience.ConclusionRegarding the importance of professional commitment in the nurses' resilience development and not leaving the profession in the COVID‐19 pandemic, it is important to emphasize the ethical values and principles of the nursing profession in practice and especially in the education of nursing students. It is necessary to monitor mental health and provide professional psychological counseling by the healthcare systems; also, nursing managers should follow a supportive leadership style and consider first‐line nurses' worries.

“…It refers to improving patients’ self-integrity in difficult disease conditions, searching for meaning and purpose in disease and hospitalization, and submission to and satisfaction with their life. Transcendence is identified as an important dimension of spiritual aspects in several literatures [ 84 , 91 , 92 ].

Background The evaluation of spiritual requirements in patients can facilitate the delivery of spiritual care as an essential element of holistic healthcare. The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a questionnaire on patients’ spiritual needs in medical-surgical hospital settings. Methods This research utilized an exploratory sequential design, involving the creation of a pool of items through both inductive and deductive methods. The questionnaire’s psychometric properties were then assessed using various techniques, such as face and content validity, item analysis, construct validity, internal consistency, stability, confirmatory factor analysis, and the Gradual Response Model of Samejima. The data analysis was conducted using MPLUS software, version 5.1. Results The study’s results showed that a four-factor structure (interpersonal connectedness, relationship with God, transcendence, and peaceful environment) with 43 items was successfully extracted through exploratory factor analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the findings of the exploratory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the scale and factors ranged between 0.83 and 0.95. Furthermore, the interclass correlation coefficients for the scale and factors were between 0.89 and 0.96. Conclusions The questionnaire designed in this study is a reliable and valid instrument that can be utilized by healthcare, educational, and research institutions to evaluate the spiritual needs of patients in medical-surgical hospital settings.
