Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between psychological resilience, ruminative thoughts and spiritual well-being of individuals diagnosed with cancer.
Background: Cancer, which can cause fear, anger and future anxiety in individuals from the moment of diagnosis, is a disease that individuals can associate with death, pain, and suffering.
Design: A descriptive and correlational research design was employed.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 382 patients receiving outpatient treatment at an oncology center affiliated with a university hospital in Turkey. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Ruminative Reactions Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, and FACIT-Sp Spiritual Well-Being Scale. We evaluated the data via descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses.
Results: The resilience score of the participants was 52.48 ± 6.96, the ruminative reactions score was 44.26 ± 15.11, and the FACIT-Sp total score was 38.97 ± 8.23. In the study, there was a moderate and statistically significant positive relationship between the mean psychological resilience score and the mean scores of FACIT-Sp on the meaning, FACIT-Sp peace, FACIT-Sp faith sub-dimensions, and the total scale of FACIT-Sp (p < 0.05). Also, a moderate and statistically significant negative relationship existed between the mean psychological resilience and the ruminative response scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Participants' psychological resilience was slightly higher than moderate, their ruminative thoughts were moderate, and their spiritual well-being was high. In addition, there was a relationship between psychological resilience, ruminative reactions, and spiritual well-being.
Relevance to clinical practice: They may be important for nurses to plan and implement interventions that will reduce patients' ruminative thinking and increase their spiritual well-being and resilience. Therefore, the results obtained in this study may help nursing care be more effective.
Reporting method: The reporting of the results of the study was conducted in accordance with the STROBE guidelines.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
