Costa ALS, et al. – The objective of this study was to evaluate whether perceived stress, social support, and resilience are associated with quality of life in urban Brazilian patients receiving chemotherapy treatment for colorectal Cancer (CRC). It was noted that family support and professional social support are important factors for Brazilian CRC patients. Resilience is an important ally for patients. It is important for nurses to consider this when developing educational and psychological interventional strategies to reduce stress and ultimately enhance quality of life in this population.
