Empirical evidence shows that life satisfaction is positively related to character strengths, and although this association has been observed in different populations, it is scarce in breast cancer patients. This study analyzes the relationship between character strengths and life satisfaction in Spanish women diagnosed with breast cancer.
A sample of 117 women completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Spanish version of the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). Correlation analysis and regression modeling were performed to determine which strengths predict life satisfaction.
The results of the correlation analysis showed that 15 strengths were positively and significantly associated with life satisfaction, with the highest correlations corresponding to zest, hope, curiosity, social intelligence, love, gratitude, and judgment. Regression modeling indicated that of these, zest and hope were key strengths for predicting life satisfaction.
These findings suggest that intervention programs based on the development of zest and hope could help to improve life satisfaction and, therefore, the psychological well-being of women with breast cancer.
实证证据表明,生活满意度与性格优势呈正相关,尽管这种关联在不同人群中都有观察到,但在乳腺癌患者中却很少见。本研究分析了西班牙乳腺癌女性的性格优势与生活满意度之间的关系。
117 名女性完成了生活满意度量表(SWLS)和 VIA 优势量表(VIA-IS)的西班牙语版本。进行了相关分析和回归建模,以确定哪些优势可以预测生活满意度。
相关分析的结果表明,有 15 种优势与生活满意度呈正相关且显著相关,其中与生活满意度相关性最高的是热情、希望、好奇心、社交智慧、爱、感恩和判断力。回归建模表明,在这些优势中,热情和希望是预测生活满意度的关键优势。
这些发现表明,基于培养热情和希望的干预计划可能有助于提高生活满意度,从而提高乳腺癌女性的心理健康。
