Materiales y métodos: La muestra estuvo conformada por 170 pacientes oncológicos de ambos sexos y mayores de 18 años. El tipo de estudio fue descriptivo – correlacional y el diseño no experimental de corte transversal. Se empleó para la prueba de normalidad, la prueba estadística de Shapiro Will; para la variable numérica y variable categórica se utilizó Kruskal-Wallis; para el análisis de variables categóricas se empleó la prueba de Chi - cuadrado. Se emplearon los siguientes instrumentos: Escala de Clima Social Familiar (FES) y el Cuestionario de Afrontamiento al Estrés en Pacientes Oncológicos (CAEPO).

The aim of this study was to analyse how different dimensions of social support predict psychologicaldistress, understood as anxiety and depression, in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. A total of 353adult patients participated, most of whom were women (70.8%), diagnosed in the outpatient clinic of theabdominal surgery department. An explanatory, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was used. Theinstruments used were the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (MOS) and the Hospital Anxiety andDepression Scale (HADS).The internal structure of the scales was previously evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis, andreliability was verified with alpha and omega coefficients. Subsequently, a structural equation model(SEM) was used in R Studio 4.4.3 software, which showed a good fit (χ²/gl = 2.30; CFI = .995; RMSEA = .057). The results indicated that emotional support (β = −.2...
