Abstract
En este trabajo, se realiza un estudio sobre
el apoyo social percibido en una muestra de
hombres operados de cáncer de laringe, realizando
comparaciones con una muestra de
hombres sanos, y valorando la percepción de
las parejas de los hombres de ambas muestras.
Los objetivos son evaluar el apoyo social
percibido por los hombres operados de cáncer
de laringe y establecer las diferencias respecto
al apoyo social percibido entre el grupo de
hombres sanos y el de operados de cáncer de
laringe.
La muestra se compone de 25 hombres
operados de cáncer de laringe, 25 hombres
sanos, 15 mujeres que eran pareja de los hombres
diagnosticados de cáncer de laringe y 15
mujeres que eran pareja de los hombres sanos.
Para la evaluación del apoyo social percibido,
utilizamos el ISEL de Cohen et al (1983).
Principalmente, encontramos que los hombres
laringectomizados perciben el apoyo informacional
como el menos accesible para
ellos, siendo el instrumental y el emocional
los que perciben en mayor medida. Entre los
hombres laringectomizados y los hombres sanos,
tan solo encontramos diferencias respecto
a la percepción del apoyo social de tipo instrumental.
It is studied the level of perceived social support in a sample of male subjects operated for larynx cancer by conducting comparisons with a sample of healthy males and assessing the perception of the partners of both groups of men. The objectives are to assess the perceived social support by men operated for larynx cancer and establish the differences with respect to the perceived social support between the group of healthy males and that of the cancer patients. The sample consisted of 25 males operated for larynx cancer, 25 healthy males, 15 female partners of the males diagnosed with cancer and 15 female partners of the healthy males. To assess perceived social support, we used the ISEL of Cohen et al (1983). Our main fi nding was that laryngectomized males perceive informational support as the least accessible to them, while they perceive instrumental and emotional support the most. Between laryngectomized and healthy males we only found differences in relation to the perception of social support of an instrumental nature.
