Abstract

Leukemia is a costly serious illness. As for the families with Leukemia children, social support system plays a vital role to get successful cure. The author interviews 8 non-local families that are receiving treatment in a hospital in Beijing and uses qualitative analysis to study their social support system. The main conclusions are: 1. The structure of micro-supporting system is relatively complete, however, the support is kind of limited. When the curing process goes on, the support weakens. 2. The macro-support system is mainly economic support with consistency. However, the supporting power needs further improvement.
