Family caregivers of cancer patients must have strong emotional intelligence skills essential for understanding one's and others' feelings and learning how to cope.
The present study aims to determine the predictive factors of emotional intelligence and its relationship with spiritual intelligence, coping, and knowledge and experience about pain among family caregivers of cancer patients in Iran.
A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in 2020-2021. Two hundred twenty-six family caregivers of cancer patients participated in this study. The data collection tools were Wong and Law's emotional intelligence, King's spiritual intelligence, Brief Cope, and the family pain questionnaire. Following determining the variables' correlation, linear regression was carried out.
Emotional intelligence had a significant correlation with age (r = 0.20, p = .003), academic degree (r = 0.15, p = .032), duration of care (r = 0.15, p = .032), and spiritual intelligence (r = 0.30, p < .001). The regression model accounted for 12.4% of the variance in emotional intelligence; age (β = 0.16, p < .021) and spiritual intelligence (β = 0.26, p < .001) were significant explanatory variables.
Emotional intelligence is correlated with age, academic degree, duration of care, and spiritual intelligence, but only age and spiritual intelligence were found to be predictive factors for emotional intelligence in the family caregivers of cancer patients.
癌症患者的家庭照顾者必须具备强大的情商技能,这对于理解自己和他人的感受以及学习如何应对至关重要。
本研究旨在确定伊朗癌症患者家庭照顾者情商的预测因素及其与精神智力、应对方式以及疼痛知识和经验之间的关系。
2020年至2021年进行了一项横断面描述性研究。226名癌症患者的家庭照顾者参与了本研究。数据收集工具包括Wong和Law的情商量表、King的精神智力量表、简易应对方式问卷以及家庭疼痛问卷。在确定变量之间的相关性后,进行了线性回归分析。
情商与年龄(r = 0.20,p = 0.003)、学历(r = 0.15,p = 0.032)、照顾时长(r = 0.15,p = 0.032)以及精神智力(r = 0.30,p < 0.001)存在显著相关性。回归模型解释了情商变异的12.4%;年龄(β = 0.16,p < 0.021)和精神智力(β = 0.26,p < 0.001)是显著的解释变量。
情商与年龄、学历、照顾时长和精神智力相关,但在癌症患者家庭照顾者中,仅年龄和精神智力被发现是情商的预测因素。
