Research suggests that spiritual well-being positively contributes to quality of life during and following cancer treatment. This relationship has not been well-described in ethnically diverse survivors of allogeneic transplantation. This study compares spiritual well-being and quality of life of Hispanic (n = 69) and non-Hispanic (n = 102) survivors. Hispanic participants were significantly younger and reported significantly greater spiritual well-being than non-Hispanic survivors. Survivors with higher spiritual well-being had significantly better quality of life. Meaning and Peace significantly predicted quality of life. Although Hispanic survivors report greater spiritual well-being, Meaning and Peace, irrespective of ethnicity, have a salutary effect on quality of life.
研究表明,精神健康对癌症治疗期间及之后的生活质量有积极贡献。在接受同种异体移植的不同种族幸存者中,这种关系尚未得到充分描述。本研究比较了西班牙裔(n = 69)和非西班牙裔(n = 102)幸存者的精神健康和生活质量。西班牙裔参与者明显更年轻,且报告的精神健康状况明显优于非西班牙裔幸存者。精神健康水平较高的幸存者生活质量明显更好。意义感与平和感显著预测了生活质量。尽管西班牙裔幸存者报告的精神健康状况更佳,但无论种族如何,意义感与平和感对生活质量都有有益影响。
