Description
Diego Augusto Lopes Oliveira and colleagues validate in 2026 a questionnaire that measures social support networks for women having chemotherapy for breast cancer. Support from family, friends, and services shapes how patients weather treatment. No checked tool existed in this setting for mapping that support.
Ten expert judges reviewed the draft items, and eight women in treatment tested the wording for sense. The tool covers five support kinds, from emotional backing to practical help and company. Judges rated most items strongly, and weak ones were cut or reworded, leaving 47 items. Patient review reached a near-perfect clarity index. Clinics can now profile each woman's support web and spot gaps before they hurt care.
