Based on Walsh's concept of family resilience, this study aims to explain the processes and factors related to family resilience of guardians caring for children and youths with leukemia (GCYL) at a university-affiliated hospital in central Thailand. An explanatory case study is conducted. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 guardians from 15 families caring for children and youths with leukemia (CYL). The interviews were recorded and transcribed for content analysis. The researcher categorized and coded the data to summarize, interpret, and validate the key study results of family resilience. This study found that families undergo three phases when facing the situation: pre-family resilience, family resilience, and post-family resilience. In each phase, these families face changes in emotions, perspectives, and behaviors related to the factors promoting family resilience. The results of this study will benefit multidisciplinary teams providing care for families with CYL by applying the information about family resilience processes to provide services that cultivate behavioral, physical, psychological, and social growth for the families and enable them to maintain peace in family life.
基于沃尔什的家庭复原力概念,本研究旨在阐释泰国中部一家大学附属医院中照顾白血病患儿和青少年的监护人(GCYL)的家庭复原力相关过程及因素。开展了一项解释性案例研究。对来自15个家庭的21名照顾白血病患儿和青少年(CYL)的监护人进行了半结构化深度访谈。访谈进行了录音并转录以进行内容分析。研究人员对数据进行分类和编码,以总结、解释和验证家庭复原力的关键研究结果。本研究发现,家庭在面对这种情况时会经历三个阶段:家庭复原力前期、家庭复原力期和家庭复原力后期。在每个阶段,这些家庭在与促进家庭复原力的因素相关的情绪、观念和行为方面都会发生变化。本研究结果将使为CYL家庭提供护理的多学科团队受益,通过应用有关家庭复原力过程的信息来提供服务,促进这些家庭在行为、身体、心理和社会方面的成长,并使他们能够维持家庭生活的安宁。
