Abstract

Purpose: To describe caregiver psychological processing during the 12 weeks after transplant and the potential role of positive emotions in caregiving experiences.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal qualitative descriptive study and interviewed 11 BMT caregivers monthly for 12-weeks post-transplant about their experiences and psychological processing. We analyzed 38 interviews using directed content analysis based on guiding theories and inductive in vivo coding to develop themes.

Results: The majority of participants appraised caregiving as a challenge that needed to be met. Caregivers described feeling positive emotions throughout the time after transplant (gratitude, interest, and hope). We identified two new themes: mirroring (caregiver feelings reflecting patient status) and emotion regulation (hiding negative emotions and displaying positive emotions when with the patient).

Implications: Findings provide further evidence that interventions focused on emotion regulation and positive emotion experiences during caregiving to reduce the negative effects of caregiving related stress may be promising.

异体骨髓移植受者照顾者的心理处理：一项纵向研究的定性结果。

目的：描述移植后 12 周内护理人员的心理过程，以及积极情绪在护理经历中的潜在作用：我们开展了一项纵向定性描述研究，在移植后的 12 周内，每月对 11 名 BMT 护理人员进行访谈，了解他们的经历和心理过程。我们采用基于指导理论的定向内容分析法和归纳式活体编码法对 38 个访谈进行了分析，以形成主题：大多数参与者认为护理是一项需要应对的挑战。护理人员描述了他们在移植后的整个过程中感受到的积极情绪（感激、兴趣和希望）。我们发现了两个新的主题：镜像（护理人员的感受反映出患者的状态）和情绪调节（与患者在一起时隐藏消极情绪并表现出积极情绪）：研究结果进一步证明，在护理过程中采取以情绪调节和积极情绪体验为重点的干预措施，以减少与护理相关的压力所带来的负面影响，可能大有可为。
