Abstract

Background: Positive psychology-based (PPB) activities have been under-researched in cancer caregiving.

Objective: This study investigated caregiver: (1) attitudes toward using PPB activities while caregiving; and (2) characteristics associated with these attitudes.

Methods: 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.

Results: Most of the N = 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.

Conclusions: Our findings provide guidance for development and testing of PPB activities for cancer caregivers.

针对癌症家庭照顾者的积极心理学干预措施：谁会使用它们？

背景：基于积极心理学（PPB）的活动在癌症护理中的研究不足：基于积极心理学的（PPB）活动在癌症护理方面的研究不足：本研究调查了护理人员：（1）在护理过程中使用积极心理学活动的态度；（2）与这些态度相关的特征：对造血细胞移植（HCT）患者的全国护理人员样本进行了横断面调查的二次分析。调查项目评估了护理人员参与六项PPB活动的可能性。我们进行了层次回归，并研究了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）：在 N = 948 名受访者中，大多数为白人（78.9%）、女性（65.5%）、已婚（86.7%）、有工作（78.4%）且受过大学教育（79.8%）。对积极活动持积极态度的护理人员多为年轻女性，护理时间为 6-12 个月，每周超过 40 小时，采用的应对方式包括宗教和社会支持：我们的研究结果为开发和测试针对癌症护理人员的PPB活动提供了指导。
