Exploring the Barriers to Social Support Interactions: A Qualitative Study of Young Adult Cancer Patients and Young Adult Supporters
This study explores the reasons why young adults (ages 18–39) struggle to provide or avoid providing support to young adult cancer patients. The study also explores young adult cancer patients’ perceptions of why they have not received support from individuals who did not provide support. A total of 722 reasons were collected through online surveys and analyzed: 438 were provided by young adults who knew a young adult with cancer (N = 131), and y…
Fertility Preservation Decision-Making Communication between Young Adult Cancer Patients and Their Romantic Partners: An Application of the Decide Typology
Infertility risk and fertility preservation (FP) are often salient quality-of-life concerns for young adults (YAs; i.e., 18–39 years old) who have experienced a cancer diagnosis. However, we know little about how members of this population communicate with close loved ones when faced with choices about FP before beginning cancer treatment. In this study, we apply the Family Determinants of Clinical Decisions (DECIDE) Typology to explore how YA ca…
A qualitative evidence synthesis of normative rhetorical theory scholarship
Normative rhetorical theory (NRT, also called normative theory of social support; Goldsmith, [(2004). Communicating social support. Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/cbo9780511606984]) has aided scholars in exploring when and why some interpersonal conversations are evaluated as more successful than others. Despite proliferation in its use, there has not yet been a review of this body of work until now. This manuscript reports o…
It Changed Our Outlook on How We Want to Live: Cancer as a Transformative Health Experience for Young Adult Survivors and Their Family Members
Although young adult cancer survivors (YACSs) and their families face unique psychosocial and health-related challenges related to cancer, little is known about how the illness experience of cancer may positively transform their mental, physical, and social well-being following primary treatment. We conducted individual qualitative interviews with 30 YACSs and 21 of their family members. Participants described positive transformations as (a) pers…
It’s My Job Now, I Guess”: Biographical disruption and communication work in supporters of young adult cancer survivors
This study uses narrative interviews to describe how 25 young adult (YA) close supporters (i.e., romantic partners, siblings) experience an often invisible and uniquely burdensome biographical disruption following a young adult cancer survivor’s (YACS; i.e., 18–39) diagnosis. YA supporters reported varying levels of biographical interdependence with the YACS and family system uncertainty with other important supporters. These factors led YA roman…
What a Loser That Guy Was”: Norm Macdonald’s Humorous Critique of the Romantic/Warrior Narrative
Illness narratives are stories that focus on, or are inspired by, the sometimes life-altering experience of illness. Most narrative constructions of these illness experiences are built upon one of three broad narrative “skeletons.” One skeletal subform, the romantic/warrior narrative, is critiqued by comedian Norm Macdonald in a humorous anecdote that mocks the expectation that cancer patients must wage an epic and heroic battle against their per…
Normative Social Support in Young Adult Cancer Survivors
Following a cancer diagnosis, young adults (YAs; that is, 18-39) often experience altered social relationships with family, friends, romantic partners, and peers. In light of the social struggles YA patients and survivors report due to cancer's biographical disruption, we elicited narratives from 30 YA cancer survivors to examine how their normative perceptions of social support functioned to hinder and assist them in coping with the cancer exper…
