Hope has an influential role in oncology patients and is related to perceived social support and spirituality. However, studies on the extent to which the concepts of perceived social support and spiritual care needs affect hope are still limited.
To examine the effect of perceived social support and spiritual care needs in predicting hope in adult oncology patients.
Study questionnaires, a demographic form, the Herth Hope Scale, the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Spiritual Care Needs Scale were administered to participants. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted.
A total of 134 oncology patients completed the study questionnaires. Significant correlations were found between hope and perceived social support and between hope and spiritual care needs (P < .05). Perceived support explained 11.7% of the variance in hope scores. A 1-unit increase in the support score was associated with a 0.344-unit increase in the hope score. Spiritual care needs did not significantly predict hope.
In line with the results, interventions that promote social support may increase hope in oncology patients.
Nurses could incorporate interventions into their care to improve social support as one way to enhance hope levels among oncology patients. Further studies are required to understand more about the impact of spiritual care needs on hope.
希望在肿瘤患者中具有重要作用,且与感知到的社会支持和精神性相关。然而,关于感知到的社会支持和精神照护需求概念在多大程度上影响希望的研究仍然有限。
探讨感知到的社会支持和精神照护需求对成年肿瘤患者希望的预测作用。
向参与者发放研究问卷、人口统计学表格、赫思希望量表、多维感知社会支持量表和精神照护需求量表。进行相关性和回归分析。
共有134名肿瘤患者完成了研究问卷。发现希望与感知到的社会支持之间以及希望与精神照护需求之间存在显著相关性(P <.05)。感知到的支持解释了希望得分变异的11.7%。支持得分每增加1个单位,希望得分增加0.344个单位。精神照护需求并未显著预测希望。
与结果一致,促进社会支持的干预措施可能会增加肿瘤患者的希望。
护士可以将干预措施纳入其护理工作中,以改善社会支持,作为提高肿瘤患者希望水平的一种方式。需要进一步研究以更深入了解精神照护需求对希望的影响。
