The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between sense of stress and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in mothers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
This cross-sectional study was conducted in a group of 139 mothers of children with CF. A diagnostic survey with Polish versions of the inventories was used.
Over half of the mothers (52.89%) reported average and 26.11% high levels of general sense of stress. Mothers also experienced high (37.68%) and average (34.06%) PTG. Generally, mothers of children with CF manifested low general resilience. Sense of stress and PTG were significantly and positively correlated in this group of mothers. Positive correlations were revealed between resilience (total and individual dimensions), total PTG, and 1 dimension of PTG: changes in self-perception. Moreover, resilience was found to correlate with sense of stress. The obtained results indicate that resilience manifested as an optimistic life attitude and the ability to mobilize in difficult situations, and tolerance of failures and treating life as a challenge is a moderator in the relationship between sense of stress and PTG.
The relationship between sense of stress and PTG in mothers of children with CF depends on the level of resilience.
本研究旨在探讨韧性在儿童囊性纤维化(CF)患儿母亲的压力感与创伤后成长(PTG)之间的关系中的调节作用。
这是一项横断面研究,共纳入了 139 名 CF 患儿的母亲。采用了带有波兰语版本量表的诊断性调查。
超过一半的母亲(52.89%)报告了平均水平和 26.11%的高水平一般压力感。母亲们还经历了较高(37.68%)和平均(34.06%)的 PTG。一般来说,CF 患儿的母亲表现出较低的整体韧性。在这群母亲中,压力感和 PTG 呈显著正相关。在韧性(总分和各维度)、总 PTG 和 1 个 PTG 维度(自我认知的变化)之间均显示出正相关。此外,韧性与压力感相关。研究结果表明,韧性表现为乐观的生活态度和在困难情况下调动资源的能力,以及对失败的容忍和将生活视为挑战的能力,是压力感和 PTG 之间关系的调节因素。
CF 患儿母亲的压力感与 PTG 之间的关系取决于韧性的水平。
