This study assessed the influence of intrapersonal (one's own emotions) and interpersonal (emotions of others) emotional competence (EC) of informal caregivers on their quality of life (QoL) at the beginning of cancer care.
Participants completed two questionnaires assessing their intrapersonal and interpersonal EC (S-PEC) as well as their QoL (SF-36) at the beginning of treatments. Multivariate ANCOVA regression analyses were then performed to explore the influence of EC on QoL.
The questionnaires were completed by 203 caregivers. As expected, intrapersonal EC was associated with a better QoL in all sub-dimensions (p < 0.01). More surprisingly, interpersonal EC was associated with worse QoL in terms of physical role (- 8.97 [95% CI - 16.74; - 1.19]), emotional role (- 8.37 [95% CI - 16.27; - 0.48]), and general health (- 4.50 [95% CI - 8.08; - 0.92]).
Intrapersonal EC should be improved for better QoL of caregivers of cancer patients. However, the more caregivers are attentive to the emotions of others (e.g., by identifying, understanding, listening and helping to manage emotions), the more their physical and psychological state has an impact on their daily life and their perceived health is impaired.
本研究评估了在癌症护理开始时，非正式护理人员的个人情绪能力（自身情绪）和人际情绪能力（他人情绪）对其生活质量（QoL）的影响。
参与者在治疗开始时完成了两份问卷，一份评估他们的个人和人际情绪能力（S-PEC），另一份评估他们的生活质量（SF-36）。然后进行多变量协方差分析回归，以探究情绪能力对生活质量的影响。
203名护理人员完成了问卷。正如预期的那样，个人情绪能力在所有子维度上都与更好的生活质量相关（p < 0.01）。更令人惊讶的是，人际情绪能力在身体功能（-8.97 [95%置信区间 -16.74；-1.19]）、情绪功能（-8.37 [95%置信区间 -16.27；-0.48]）和总体健康（-4.50 [95%置信区间 -8.08；-0.92]）方面与较差的生活质量相关。
为提高癌症患者护理人员的生活质量，应改善其个人情绪能力。然而，护理人员越关注他人的情绪（例如，通过识别、理解、倾听和帮助管理情绪），他们的身体和心理状态对其日常生活的影响就越大，其自我感知的健康状况也会受到损害。
