Abstract
Introduction
Social support promotes feelings of stability, predictability and self-esteem and reduces the social isolation, because information, tangible assistance and emotional support can be obtained from the social network.
Methods
We conducted a narrative review of the international empirical literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of social support and social networks on patients diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. The following databases were consulted: CINAHL, MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, SCOPUS and Web of Science. Information was collected up to 2nd December 2022.
Results
The initial search generated 46 articles, but after the exclusion criteria had been applied, the total number of articles analysed was 13.
Conclusions
The symptoms of myasthenia gravis, especially ptosis and slurred speech, can have a major psychosocial impact and a negative effect on interaction social.
方法我们对国际实证文献进行了叙述性回顾,以全面了解社会支持和社会网络对重症肌无力患者的影响。我们查阅了以下数据库CINAHL、MEDLINE、APA PsycInfo、SCOPUS 和 Web of Science。结论重症肌无力的症状,尤其是上睑下垂和言语不清,会对社会心理产生重大影响,并对社会交往产生负面影响。
