Throughout the reentry literature, there is widespread recognition about the central role of social support—including emotional and instrumental support—to prevent recidivism and promote integration. Although emotional support is often considered a relatively more important construct than instrumental support in scholarship on stress and coping, reentry research generally focuses on the provision of material and informational resources. This chapter analyzes novel data—daily open-ended survey questions via smartphones about a person’s most important positive and negative points of the day—to understand the types of social support that people most value in their daily lives in the immediate months after release from prison. Using this approach, the chapter describes the importance of spending time with others, the central role of children, and changes in support over time. The chapter concludes by recommending that reentry scholars pay greater attention to the construct of emotional support in studies of recidivism and integration.

SummaryThis study investigated gender difference in the effects of social support, including emotional support and instrumental support (such as help when sick and financial assistance), and social activities on perceived health of middle-aged and older adults in South Korea. Data were acquired from 3771 men and 4954 women aged 40 years and older who participated in the 2005 cross-sectional survey of the Seoul Citizens Health and Social Indicators Survey. Using multiple regression analysis, both age- and gender-specific differences related to social support and engagement in social activities and self-rated poor health were examined. Poor emotional support from close friends, relatives or someone with whom one could talk about worries was strongly associated with poor self-rated health in men, with the greatest effect in older men. Lack of engagement in social activities was associated with self-rated poor health in older adults, especially in older men. Poor instrumental support was associated with perceived poor health only in middle-aged women. As a health improvement strategy for men aged 65 years and older especially, emotional support should be considered. Measures should be considered for encouraging social activities by older adults, particularly older men.

The association between perceived social support and happiness was investigated in women who are members of various associations in Malaga (Spain) that work with immigrant women. Based on the Social Convoy model, the association between sources of support, frequency of support, satisfaction with support, and happiness reported by women were examined. The main social support predictor of happiness was satisfaction with the support received. Thus, the best predictors of happiness were emotional support from the family and instrumental support from the indigenous population and associations. The best predictor of frequency of support was the frequency of informational support received from social services. These results may prove useful for developing lines of action or interventions centred on the social network and the functions that social support can fulfil among immigrant women.

This study examines the relative contributions of giving versus receiving support to longevity in a sample of older married adults. Baseline indicators of giving and receiving support were used to predict mortality status over a 5-year period in the Changing Lives of Older Couples sample. Results from logistic regression analyses indicated that mortality was significantly reduced for individuals who reported providing instrumental support to friends, relatives, and neighbors, and individuals who reported providing emotional support to their spouse. Receiving support had no effect on mortality once giving support was taken into consideration. This pattern of findings was obtained after controlling for demographic, personality, health, mental health, and marital-relationship variables. These results have implications for understanding how social contact influences health and longevity.

Medication adherence refers to the extent to which a patient takes medication according to prescription. In many cases, adherence to medication is defined as the proportion of prescribed drugs taken as prescribed over a certain period. However, there is no satisfactory level of adherence that can be applied uniformly to all diseases and medications. Patients with poor adherence experience worsening of conditions, complications, and increased risk for death, which increases medical expenses. Therefore, to improve medication adherence, healthcare providers should try to identify poor adherence, adjust prescriptions to optimize treatment according to the patient’s lifestyle, and educate patients to help them understand the value of medical treatment and the effects of adherence. The most practical way to identify poor adherence during clinical visits is by asking patients about their medication adherence in a non-judgmental manner. Reducing the number of doses is more effective than reducing the number of tablets to increase compliance. It is necessary to adopt innovative methods based on information technology in our healthcare system because of the labor-intensive nature of educational intervention to improve adherence.

<p>Selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya dan perubahan yang terjadi akibatnya, penderita kanker stadium lanjut bisa mengalami masalah pada aspek fisiologis, psikologis, sosial dan budaya, serta spiritual dan eksistensial. Dukungan sosial dari lingkungan sekitar penderita dapat membantu mereka dalam mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi, namun keberhasilannya tergantung pada bagaimana penderita memaknai dukungan sosial yang diterimanya (<em>perceived social support)</em>. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara <em>semi-structured</em>. Subjek penelitian berjumlah tiga dan memiliki karakteristik, yaitu penderita kanker yang telah didiagnosa kanker stadium lanjut, sedang menjalani Perawatan Paliatif<em>, </em>dan menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kelima dimensi dukungan sosial dipersepsikan oleh penderita kanker stadium lanjut selama menghadapi masalah yang muncul akibat kondisinya. Sumber dukungan sosial berasal dari berbagai pihak. Sumber dukungan sosial tertentu bisa memberikan lebih dari satu dimensi dukungan sosial. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial berbeda-beda. <em>Informational support </em>memberikan informasi untuk memahami kondisi kesehatan dan nasehat untuk menjaga kondisi kesehatan, sedangkan <em>instrumental support </em>memberikan bantuan secara finasial dan peralatan untuk mendukung pengobatan, serta memberikan pelayanan untuk mengatasi masalah kesehatan dan rumah tangga. <em>Emotional support, esteem support, </em>dan <em>companionship support </em>mampu memberikan penghiburan dan motivasi melaui perkataan dan tindakan selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial dapat memberikan dampak yang positif apabila diberikan secara tepat, namun bisa menimbulkan perasaan negatif ketika diberikan secara kurang tepat, kurang memadai, atau justru secara berlebihan.</p><p>Kata kunci: <span>Kanker stadium lanjut, Perawatan Paliatif, dukungan sosial, <em>perceived social support</em></span></p>
