Positive psychology-based (PPB) activities have been under-researched in cancer caregiving.
This study investigated caregiver: (1) attitudes toward using PPB activities while caregiving; and (2) characteristics associated with these attitudes.
Secondary analyses of a cross-sectional survey were conducted in a national caregiver sample of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients. Survey items assessed caregivers' likelihood of engaging in six PPB activities. Hierarchical regression was performed and potential predictors of PPB activity use (e.g., technology familiarity, coping style, caregiving duration) were examined.
Most of the = 948 respondents were White (78.9%), female (65.5%), married (86.7%), employed (78.4%), and college-educated (79.8%). Caregivers favorably disposed to positive activities were younger and female, provided care for 6-12 months and >40 h/week, and used coping styles involving religion and social support.
Our findings provide guidance for development and testing of PPB activities for cancer caregivers.
基于积极心理学的（PPB）活动在癌症护理方面的研究较少。
本研究调查了护理者：（1）在护理期间对使用PPB活动的态度；（2）与这些态度相关的特征。
对全国造血细胞移植（HCT）患者护理者样本进行横断面调查的二次分析。调查项目评估了护理者参与六项PPB活动的可能性。进行了分层回归，并检查了PPB活动使用的潜在预测因素（如技术熟悉程度、应对方式、护理持续时间）。
948名受访者中大多数是白人（78.9%）、女性（65.5%）、已婚（86.7%）、就业（78.4%）且受过大学教育（79.8%）。倾向于积极活动的护理者更年轻且为女性，提供护理6至12个月且每周超过40小时，并采用涉及宗教和社会支持的应对方式。
我们的研究结果为癌症护理者PPB活动的开发和测试提供了指导。
