The study examines the association between mental adjustment, coping strategies [emotion (EF) and problem focused (PF)], and psychological distress.
Sixty end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were interviewed a year or more after they began dialysis, measured by the COPE, Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) scales.
The main findings indicate that patients with a strong fighting spirit are in less psychological distress. Moreover, patients who tend to use PF strategies rely on a fighting spirit as an adjustment coping style.
ESRD patients in the adjustment phase (patients diagnosed at least 1 year previously) tend to struggle to lead as normal a life as possible despite the dependency caused by the illness.
本研究探讨心理调适、应对策略[情绪聚焦(EF)和问题聚焦(PF)]与心理困扰之间的关联。
对60名终末期肾病(ESRD)患者在开始透析一年或更长时间后进行访谈,采用应对方式问卷(COPE)、癌症心理调适量表(MAC)和简明症状量表(BSI)进行测量。
主要研究结果表明,斗志昂扬的患者心理困扰较少。此外,倾向于使用PF策略的患者将斗志作为一种调适应对方式。
处于调适阶段(确诊至少1年以前)的ESRD患者尽管因疾病产生依赖,但仍努力尽可能正常地生活。
