Abstract

Introduction: 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.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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]).

Conclusion: 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.

人际情感能力与人际情感能力不同，人际情感能力是提高癌症患者非正式照顾者生活质量的个人资源吗？

简介本研究评估了非正规护理人员在癌症护理初期的人内（自己的情绪）和人际（他人的情绪）情绪能力（EC）对其生活质量（QoL）的影响：方法：受试者填写两份调查问卷，评估他们的人内和人际情绪能力（S-PEC）以及他们在治疗初期的生活质量（SF-36）。然后进行多变量方差分析，以探讨EC对QoL的影响：共有 203 名护理人员填写了调查问卷。结果：203 名护理人员填写了调查问卷。正如预期的那样，人际交往与所有子维度的 QoL 改善相关（p 结论：应改善人际交往：为提高癌症患者护理者的生活质量，应改善人际交往能力。然而，照顾者越是关注他人的情绪（例如，通过识别、理解、倾听和帮助管理情绪），他们的生理和心理状态对其日常生活的影响就越大，他们的健康感知也就越受损。
