Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the information-support needs and level of meeting these needs, the tendency of fatalism trend, and the relationship between these parameters in women having a relative with breast cancer. The research was carried out with 400 women who were the primary relatives of patients treated within oncology units. Participants completed an information form, the information support needs questionnaire and the fatalism tendency scale. There was found to be a high, negative and weak significant relationship between the mean of needs for information-support and the mean of fatalism tendency scale (r = - 343; p < .001) and high, negative and average significant relationship with fulfilling their needs. There was also a negative relationship between the importance for information-support needs, fulfilling their needs and fatalism tendency in women who have relatives with breast cancer.
