摘要：
We investigated the mediating influence of cancer-related stress (CRS) in social support health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Nigerian cancer patients. Nigerian cancer patients (n = 316; female = 64.6%; mean age = 50.16 years, SD = 13 years) completed measures of perceived social support, CRS, and HRQoL. Structural model data analysis revealed social support was associated with lower HRQoL. CRS (intrusive domain) mediated the association between social support and HRQoL, such that social support was linked to reduced cancer distress which in turn resulted in improved HRQoL. These findings suggest a need to improve HRQoL, employing cognitive-based therapy aimed at reducing CRS in cancer patients.
