Although researchers have suggested that hardiness is associated with improved outcomes in stressful situations, findings regarding its moderating effects have been mixed. Relationships among hardiness, appraisal, coping, self-perceived health, and other antecedent variables were examined in a convenience sample of 72 community-dwelling spouse caregivers for persons with dementia. In this descriptive correlational design, participants completed a mailed survey. Regression analyses were used to detect main and moderating effects. Antecedent variables predicted 27% of the variance in caregiver appraisal, 23% of the variance in emotion-focused coping, and 22% of the variance in self-perceived health. In addition to its significant main effects, hardiness functioned as a significant moderator between the set of antecedent variables and caregiver appraisal. More research is needed to support the presence of main and moderating effects of hardiness in dementia caregivers.
尽管研究人员认为坚韧与在压力情境下改善结果有关，但其调节作用的研究结果却参差不齐。在一个由72名社区痴呆症患者的配偶照料者组成的便利样本中，研究了坚韧、评估、应对、自我感知健康以及其他先行变量之间的关系。在这个描述性相关设计中，参与者完成了一项邮寄调查。回归分析用于检测主要和调节作用。先行变量预测了照料者评估中27%的方差、情绪聚焦应对中23%的方差以及自我感知健康中22%的方差。除了其显著的主要作用外，坚韧还在先行变量组和照料者评估之间起到了显著的调节作用。需要更多的研究来支持坚韧在痴呆症照料者中的主要和调节作用。
