Previous studies have shown that resilience could play an important role in enhancing the quality of life in women with breast cancer; however, the mediating role of self-care behaviors have not been studied. This study aims to explore the mediating role of self-care behaviors in the relationship between resilience and quality of life in breast cancer patients. A sample of 195 women with breast cancer (aged from 21 to 60 years; M = 45.32 ± 8.2) from three hospitals in Tehran, Iran completed online questionnaires measuring resilience, self-care and quality of life. The results of structural equation modeling showed that resilience (β = 0.546, p < .01) and self-care behaviors (β = 0.621, p < .01) positively predicted the quality of life in breast cancer patients. The bootstrapping analysis showed that self-care behaviors acted as a partial mediator between resilience and quality of life. The present study brings to light an underlying mechanism of the relationship between resilience and quality of life via the mediating variable of self-care behaviors for patients with breast cancer.
先前的研究表明,韧性可以在提高乳腺癌女性的生活质量方面发挥重要作用;然而,自我护理行为的中介作用尚未得到研究。本研究旨在探讨自我护理行为在乳腺癌患者韧性与生活质量之间关系中的中介作用。研究对象为来自伊朗德黑兰三家医院的 195 名乳腺癌女性(年龄在 21 至 60 岁之间;M = 45.32 ± 8.2),她们完成了在线问卷,测量了韧性、自我护理和生活质量。结构方程模型的结果表明,韧性(β=0.546,p<0.01)和自我护理行为(β=0.621,p<0.01)正向预测了乳腺癌患者的生活质量。 bootstrap 分析表明,自我护理行为在韧性和生活质量之间起到了部分中介作用。本研究通过自我护理行为这一中介变量,揭示了乳腺癌患者韧性与生活质量之间关系的潜在机制。
