The number of Shidu parents (parents over the age of 45 years who have lost their only child) has been increasing in China, which is important because Shidu parents experience depressive symptoms. This study investigated the potential mediating roles of mindfulness and resilience in the relation between social support and depressive symptoms among Shidu parents. From June to December 2021, 111 Shidu parents in Baoji city, China, completed a web-based survey on social support, depressive symptoms, mindfulness, and resilience. The results indicated that Shidu parents suffer from a high risk of depressive symptoms, and significant correlations were found between the study variables. Path analysis models showed that the relation between social support and depressive symptoms in Shidu parents was fully mediated by a combination of mindfulness and resilience. These findings further highlighted the significance of social support, mindfulness, and resilience in potentially alleviating depressive symptoms among Shidu parents.
在中国，失独父母（年龄超过45岁且失去独生子女的父母）的数量一直在增加，这一点很重要，因为失独父母会出现抑郁症状。本研究调查了正念和心理韧性在失独父母社会支持与抑郁症状关系中的潜在中介作用。2021年6月至12月，中国宝鸡市的111名失独父母完成了一项关于社会支持、抑郁症状、正念和心理韧性的网络调查。结果表明，失独父母患抑郁症状的风险较高，且研究变量之间存在显著相关性。路径分析模型显示，正念和心理韧性的综合作用完全中介了失独父母社会支持与抑郁症状之间的关系。这些发现进一步凸显了社会支持、正念和心理韧性在潜在缓解失独父母抑郁症状方面的重要性。
