Abstract
To determine the mediating roles of resilience and positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) in the effect of perceived social support (PSS) on distress. This study, with a cross-sectional design, was conducted in a Chinese hospital. Instruments included the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Chinese version Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Positive Aspects of Caregiving, and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21. Descriptive analysis and serial mediation analysis were conducted by SPSS 22.0. Data from 300 Chinese carers of people with lung cancer was used. The correlation analysis showed that PSS, resilience, and PAC were protective factors of distress. The mediation analysis revealed that resilience and PAC separately and serially mediated the effect of PSS on distress. Carers of people with lung cancer perceived positive and negative caregiving experiences simultaneously. PSS could alleviate distress by enhancing resilience and promoting PAC. Multicomponent interventions integrating PSS, resilience, and PAC should be designed to alleviate distress among Chinese carers of people with lung cancer.
