ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the psychological resilience condition among young adult glioma patients and explore its influencing factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted. The connor-davidson resilience scale,the social support rating scale, the self-efficacy questionnaire, the emotion regulation scale and self-designed demographic questionnaire were delivered to 75 young adult glioma patients. Results The overall resilience score was (57.14 ±6.80).The scores on social support, self-efficacy, cathartic adjustment and inhibition adjustment were(36.91±6.70), (25.61±5.71), (11.84±3.21)and (11.99±2.70), respectively. The scores on psychological resilience were statistically significant in view of age,culture level,family income per month (P＜0.05).The scores on social support,self-efficacy,catharsis regulation and inhibition regulation were positively correlated with the scores of psychological resilience (P＜0.05, P＜0.001).The results of stratified regression showed that social support,self-efficacy,catharsis regulation and inhibition regulation after controlling general data were the influencing factors of psychological resilience, which explained 46.5% of all the variation. Conclusions Young adult glioma patientsare poor in psychological resilience. It is significant to regulate and promote the psychological factors,strengthen social support and encourage them to deal with the disease in a positive way so as to improve their mental resilience and promote the recovery.
