O apoio entre pares tem sido associado positivamente à diminuição dos efeitos decorrentes da doença oncológica (Dennis, 2003). A compreensão do apoio prestado por familiares com antecedentes oncológicos adquire importância pela prevalência de história familiar de cancro entre os doentes. Neste estudo propomos aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre o tipo de apoio social procurado e recebido e compreender a influência da história familiar de cancro na experiência oncológica dos doentes. O estudo de cariz qualitativo e exploratório incide sobre uma amostra de 10 doentes oncológicos, sujeitos a entrevista. Os resultados demonstram que a família e os membros da comunidade correspondem às fontes de apoio mais procuradas e que o apoio informacional é o tipo de apoio mais procurado, seguido pelo emocional. Verifica-se que a história de cancro dos familiares influencia a experiência oncológica dos doentes e observa-se maior influência de antecedentes oncológicos familiares em participantes com diagnóstico oncológico até um ano; ABSTRACT: Peer support has been positively associated with decreased effects of cancer (Dennis, 2003). The understanding of support provided by relatives with cancer history becomes relevant because of the prevalence of family history of cancer amongst the patients. In this study we aim to deepen the knowledge about the type of social support sought and received; and understand the influence of a family history of cancer in the patient‘s oncologic experience. This qualitative and exploratory study focuses on a 10 cancer patients sample, subjected to interview. The results demonstrate that family and community members are the most sought source of support and that informational support is the most sought kind, followed by emotional support. It was found that a family history of cancer influences the patient‘s cancer experience; and there was a greater influence of family cancer history in participants that were diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago.
