Relationships among symptom distress,psychological resilience,and positive emotions in cancer patients
Abstract：Objective:To explore the relationship among symptom distress,psychological resilience,and positive emotions in cancer patients Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted on 351 cancer patients from 3 third grade A hospitals in Shandong province by using the Chinese version of MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI),Connor Davidson Resilience Scale short version(CD-RISC-10),and the Positive and Negative Af-fective Scales(PANAS).Results:Symptom distress score had significant negative correlation with the psycho-logical resilience score and positive emotions score(r=-0.291,r=-0.281,P<0.01).There were positive cor-relations between psychological resilience score and positive emotional score(r=0.525,P<0.01).Positive emo-tion partially mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and symptom distress.Once positive emotion entered the equation as a predictor,the predictions effect of resilience on symptom distress dropped from -0.281 to -0.216,and the mediating effect was 22.9%.Conclusions:Psychological resilience and positive emotions had a protective effect on symptom distress.Psychological resilience not only could directly affect the symptom distress but also could indirectly affect symptom distress through positive emotions.
