Abstract

In this descriptive survey study, we aimed to identify factors influencing the meaning in life of patients with multiple myeloma. We recruited and analyzed 204 patients with multiple myeloma who visited the outpatient clinic or received treatment in wards at Hospital X. Data were collected from these participants using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 21.0 through t-tests, analysis of variance, Scheffé's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analyses. The factors associated the meaning in life of patients with multiple myeloma were gratitude disposition, social support, positive emotional experiences, and subjective well-being (SWB). Meaning in life had a mean score of 5.29 of 7; gratitude disposition and social support had mean scores of 5.94 of 7 and 3.81 of 5, respectively; while SWB had mean scores of 5.22 and 3.03 of 7 for positive and negative emotional experiences, respectively. The findings of this study indicate the importance of considering patients' gratitude disposition, social support, and positive emotional experiences when developing interventions to support the pursuit of meaning in life among patients with multiple myeloma.

韩国多发性骨髓瘤患者生活意义的相关因素

在这项描述性调查研究中，我们旨在确定影响多发性骨髓瘤患者生活意义的因素。我们招募并分析了在x医院门诊或病房接受治疗的204例多发性骨髓瘤患者，使用结构化问卷收集这些参与者的数据，并使用SPSS 21.0通过t检验、方差分析、scheff检验、Pearson相关系数和多元回归分析进行分析。与多发性骨髓瘤患者生活意义相关的因素有感恩倾向、社会支持、积极情绪体验和主观幸福感。生活意义的平均得分为5.29分（总分7分）；感恩倾向和社会支持的平均得分分别为5.94分（7分）和3.81分（5分）；而主观幸福感在积极和消极情绪体验方面的平均得分分别为5.22分和3.03分（总分7分）。本研究结果表明，在制定支持多发性骨髓瘤患者追求生活意义的干预措施时，考虑患者的感恩倾向、社会支持和积极的情感体验是非常重要的。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
