摘要

背景:照顾残疾老年人会给家庭照顾者带来身心问题和社会孤立，从而降低他们的复原力。在线社交网络可以提供社会支持并对心理弹性产生影响。目的:本研究旨在探讨网络支持小组经验分享对残障老年人家庭照顾者心理弹性的影响。方法:对伊朗马什哈德58名残疾老年人家庭护理人员进行随机临床试验。采用方便抽样法对受试者进行选择，并采用排列块随机化技术将受试者分为干预组和对照组。干预组的参与者与其他护理人员在一个在线支持小组中分享了他们因照顾残疾老人而面临的问题的经历。在干预前后，使用人口统计学特征表、世界卫生组织残疾评估表和康纳-戴维森恢复力量表收集数据。最后用SPSS软件(version 24)对数据进行分析。结果:与对照组相比，干预组的参与者在干预结束时报告了显著更高的弹性水平(P值小于0.05)。实践意义:为护理人员创建在线支持小组是一种低成本的措施，不需要先进的临床设施。此外，护士可以实施干预措施，以提高照顾者的适应能力。此外，弹性的增加可以提高照顾残疾老人的能力。

Effect of Sharing Experiences in an Online Support Group on the Resilience of Family Caregivers of the Disabled Elderly

Background: Caring for a disabled elderly person causes physical and emotional problems and social isolation for family caregivers, thereby reducing their resilience. Online social networks could provide social support and effect on resilience. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of sharing experiences in the online support group on the resilience of family caregivers of the disabled elderly. Method: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 58 family caregivers of the disabled elderly in Mashhad, Iran. The participants were selected using convenience sampling and assigned to intervention and control groups using the permuted-block randomization technique. The participants in the intervention group shared their experiences of the problems faced by them due to caring for the disabled elderly for six weeks in an online support group with other caregivers. The data were collected using a demographic characteristics form, the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale before and after the intervention. Finally, the data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 24). Results: The participants in the intervention group reported a significantly higher level of resilience at the end of the intervention, compared to the control group (P˂0.05). Implications for Practice: The creation of an online support group for caregivers is a low-cost measure and does not require advanced clinical facilities. Furthermore, nurses can implement interventions to improve caregivers’ resilience. Moreover, an increase in resilience can improve caregiving abilities while caring for disabled elderly.
