Cancer detection always has a lot of stress and nervousness which, apart from physical injuries, will affect quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resiliency and quality of life by moderating the role of duration of awareness of cancer.
Population of the study included all patients with cancer who were under treatment in Yazd Forat hospital. Using convenience sampling method, 105 patients were selected to participate in this study. All subjects completed the Quality of Life Questionnaire specialized for cancer and resiliency Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by regression analysis model and Johnsen-Neyman technique.
The findings of this study revealed that the time duration of awareness of cancer plays a moderating role in the relation between the general dimension of quality of life and resiliency. In patients who were aware of their disease for over 12 months, the relationship between resiliency and the general dimension of quality of life was significant. In addition, high levels of resiliency showed a positive and significant relationship with physical dimension of life quality. While in patients who were aware of their illness for less than 12 months, resiliency scores showed a significant relation with emotional dimension of quality of life.
Awareness of disease has different mental effects on cancer patients, and resiliency and maintaining this feature for long-term is associated with the increase of quality of life in these patients. Theoretical implications of finding are discussed in detail.
癌症检测总是伴随着诸多压力和紧张情绪，这除了会造成身体损伤外，还会影响生活质量。本研究的目的是通过调节癌症知晓持续时间的作用，来探讨心理弹性与生活质量之间的关系。
研究对象包括所有在亚兹德福拉特医院接受治疗的癌症患者。采用便利抽样法，选取了105名患者参与本研究。所有受试者均完成了癌症专用生活质量问卷和心理弹性问卷。数据通过回归分析模型和约翰森-内曼技术进行分析。
本研究结果显示，癌症知晓持续时间在生活质量总体维度与心理弹性之间的关系中起调节作用。在知晓疾病超过12个月的患者中，心理弹性与生活质量总体维度之间的关系显著。此外，高水平的心理弹性与生活质量的身体维度呈显著正相关。而在知晓疾病少于12个月的患者中，心理弹性得分与生活质量的情感维度呈显著相关。
疾病知晓对癌症患者有不同的心理影响，心理弹性以及长期保持这一特征与这些患者生活质量的提高相关。详细讨论了研究结果的理论意义。
