Abstract：Objective To investigate the current situation of mental toughness,hope level and social influence of family caregivers of cancer patients and analyze their correlation.Methods Eighty family caregivers of cancer patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects.General data questionnaire,psychological resilience scale,herth hope scale and social impact scale were used to investigate the family caregivers of cancer patients.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between mental toughness and hope level,mental toughness and social impact score,and hope level and social impact score of family caregivers of cancer patients.AMOS 22.0 was used to construct a structural equation model to verify the mediating role of mental toughness score in the relationship between family caregiver hope level and social influence of cancer patients.Results A total of 80 family caregivers of cancer patients,aged 42-76 years old,37 males and 43 females,were included in this study.The results of the scale evaluation showed that the mental toughness score of the family caregivers of cancer patients was(42.35±11.48)points;hope level score(22.75±7.35)points;the social impact score of family caregivers of cancer patients was(71.27±11.64)points.Pearson correlation analysis results showed that:There was a positive correlation between the score of mental toughness of family caregivers of cancer patients and the score of hope level(r=0.432,P=0.011),and a negative correlation between the score of mental toughness and the score of social impact(r=-0.342,P=0.003),and a negative correlation between the score of hope level and the score of social impact(r=-0.357,P=0.015).Psychological resilience had an intermediary effect between hope level and social influence.The total effect of hope level on social influence was 50.16%,the direct effect was 43.43%,and the indirect effect was 6.73%.Conclusions The mental toughness,hope and stigma of family caregivers of cancer patients are at a medium level,low level and high level.Clinical staff should start from the correlation and improve the mental toughness and hope level of family caregivers of cancer patients through various means,so as to reduce their social influence and reduce the occurrence of mental health problems.
