Perceived social support, marital satisfaction, and resilience in women with abortion experience through structural equation modeling

Abortion can be a very stressful experience for women, and many social and psychological factors can influence this stress. The present study aims to investigate the impact of perceived social support on the marital satisfaction of women who have undergone an abortion. The study also explored whether resilience played a mediating role in this relationship. Data were analyzed from the cross-sectional study. The Perceived Social Support (including Social support, friend support, and other support subscales), ENRICH marital satisfaction, and Connor-Davidson Resilience questionnaire were completed by 150 women who had undergone an abortion and were referred to hospitals and clinics of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences from April 2021 to June 2021. The structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used to obtain the direct and indirect effects of Perceived Social Support subscales and Resilience on marital satisfaction. The study found that the women who participated had high marital satisfaction and social support scores, while their resilience scores were moderate. The results indicated a positive correlation between social support dimensions and marital satisfaction and resilience. The study also revealed that family support (β = 0.41, p < 0.001), other supports (β = 0.46, p < 0.001), and resilience as a mediating variable (β = 0.15, p < 0.001) had a direct and significant positive impact on marital satisfaction. However, none of the three domains of perceived social support showed any indirect significant relationship with marital satisfaction. The study’s findings demonstrate that the perception of social support from family members and other individuals can significantly impact the level of satisfaction in a marriage. Appropriate social support can increase resilience and help couples better cope with the stress associated with abortion. This study suggests that educating families, healthcare providers, and other individuals can help women experiencing this issue by providing them with counseling and support. This can ultimately help women maintain their mental and sexual health.

Survey of psychological resilience among university students majoring in long-term-care–related disciplines in Taiwan

BackgroundThe psychological resilience of university students majoring in long-term-care (LTC)–related disciplines is crucial for workforce retention and effective care provision in this field. This study aims to investigate the differences in levels of psychological resilience among these students in Taiwan.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved 258 participants selected via stratified random sampling from 23 universities across Taiwan from November 2021 to November 2022, representing a diverse educational context. The research instrument used was the Resilience Scale for Adults, a validated psychological resilience questionnaire. The independent variables included participants’ demographic data, while the dependent variables encompassed five dimensions of resilience: personal strength, family cohesion, social resources, social skills, future organizational style, and total resilience score. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis.ResultsParticipants with LTC work experience and leadership roles in campus clubs demonstrated significantly higher scores in personal strength (LTC: t = 2.04, p = 0.04, d = 0.29; leadership: t = 2.89, p = 0.01, d = 0.45), social resources (leadership: t = 2.47, p = 0.01, d = 0.34), social skills (leadership: t = 4.51, p = 0.01, d = 0.62), and future organizational style (LTC: t = 2.72, p = 0.01, d = 0.39). Higher academic performance was linked to greater personal strength, social resources, future organizational style, and total resilience (F = 4.69–3.12, p < 0.05). Regression analysis confirmed the predictive value of leadership experience and LTC work on various resilience dimensions. These results underscore the importance of practical exposure and extracurricular engagement in fostering resilience.ConclusionStudents engaged in club activities, leadership roles, and LTC work displayed higher psychological resilience. Educational institutions should foster club participation, leadership experiences, and partnerships with workplaces to enhance student resilience and professional readiness.

The Influence of Stress Level and Resilience on The Performance of Health Workers at RSIA Aisyiyah Pekajangan

A health worker must be able to balance various stressors obtained in the work environment because they have to provide professional services to patients. This requires personal factors that are inherent in nurses so that they are able to adapt to stressful conditions. Internal factors include the ability to withstand problems (resilience). The purpose of this study to determine and analyze the influence of stress levels and resilience on the performance of RSIA Aisyiyah Pekajangan health workers. This research is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional method. A sample of 129 respondents was obtained using Simple Random Sampling. After filling in informed consent, respondents filled out stress level questionnaires, resilience and performance questionnaires. After that, data processing and analysis was carried out using SPSS. The calculated F value is 10.642 &gt; F table 3.91 and the sig is 0.000 &lt; 0.05. From these results it can be said that simultaneously, the variables stress level (X1) and resilience (X2) influence the performance variable (Y). In the multiple liner regression test, the result was Y = 17.469+ 0.081X1 + 0.095X2 + e. The level of stress and resilience has a significant effect on the performance of health workers.

Interplay of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being motives with L2 learners’ resilience and mindfulness

ABSTRACT Positive psychology (PP) is currently employing its modern research toolkit to examine how individual differences of hedonic (i.e. pursuing pleasure, fun, and painlessness) versus eudaimonic (i.e. pursuing meaning, self-worth, and growth) well-being motives play out against emotional and learning challenges or outcomes in life. Similarly oriented, this study explored possible associations between these distinct positive motivations and second/foreign language (L2) learners’ intentional and emotional states of mindfulness and resilience, respectively, in their pursuit of learning goals in an English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) context. A cohort of 326 Iranian EFL learners rated themselves on four related well-being, mindfulness, and resilience questionnaires. The correlational results demonstrated significant positive relationships among L2 learners’ eudaimonic motives, resilience, and mindfulness. Similarly, hierarchical regression results revealed that eudaimonic motives significantly predicted the learners’ mindfulness and resilience. Further, complementary regression models indicated that the interrelationship among these psychological states was more linear-additive rather than interactive. It is then suggested that fostering L2 learners’ eudaimonic well-being orientation can potentially boost their emotion and attention regulation, albeit reciprocally. The findings supported interventions employing eudaimonic (or “scholastic”) well-being motives in L2 education.

A Serial Mediation Model of Resilience Among Caregivers of Children With Autism.

Resilience has been reported as a vital element against the high burden on caregivers of children with autism. However, the intricate mechanisms underlying the concurrent interplay of positive factors with resilience within this demographic group remain less understood. To construct a model to verify the sequential mediating influence of hope and gratitude in the relationship between perceived social support and resilience among caregivers of children with autism. Cross-sectional study. A total of 193 caregivers of children with autism in mainland China. Data were collected using the Herth Hope Index, C-GQ-6 Gratitude Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Resilience Questionnaire for Parents of Children With Special Needs. The hypothesized mediating model was tested with Process 4.0 (Model 6) for SPSS (Version 26.0). The relationship of perceived social support and resilience was mediated by hope, gratitude, and the hope-gratitude sequence. Hope exhibited a stronger mediation effect, accounting for 26.23% of the total effect. The results indicated significant positive correlations between perceived social support, hope, gratitude, and resilience, with perceived social support strongly linked to the other three. This study has important implications for occupational therapy, suggesting strategies for resilience-focused interventions tailored to caregivers of children with autism. Resilience is essential for caregivers of children with autism. Studies show that parents of children with autism report having fewer social supports, reduced quality of life, and heightened mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. This research highlights the connections between caregivers' perceived social support, hope, gratitude, and resilience. Addressing caregiver social supports and mental health can enhance caregiver well-being as well as children's participation in meaningful activities. The findings suggest practical implications and insights for occupational therapy practitioners to strengthen and foster caregiver resilience and well-being in the autism community.

Mathematical resilience and learning climate in view of learning style: The impact of improving mathematical reasoning in vocational schools

This research aims to analyze the influence of mathematical resilience and learning climate on the mathematical reasoning of Vocational High School (SMK) students, as well as examine the role of learning style as a moderating variable. Mathematical resilience, which reflects students' ability to persist in facing difficulties in learning mathematics, as well as a positive learning climate, is thought to have an important contribution to mathematical reasoning abilities. The research used a quantitative approach. This research was conducted at two vocational schools in Malang with 200 respondents. Data was collected through mathematical resilience questionnaires, learning climate, learning styles, and mathematical reasoning tests, then analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software. Validity and reliability tests showed that all instruments used met the criteria determined, with an AVE value above 0.5 and a Composite Reliability value above 0.7, indicating a valid and reliable instrument. All indicators used in this research also met the significance test with a p-value below 0.05. The research results show that mathematical resilience has a significant influence on students' mathematical reasoning (path coefficient 0.237, t-statistic 3.803, p-value 0.000). The learning climate was also proven to have a positive effect on mathematical reasoning (path coefficient 0.287, t-statistic 4.125, p-value 0.000). However, learning style does not significantly moderate the influence of mathematical resilience on mathematical reasoning. Still, it plays a moderate role in the relationship between learning climate and mathematical reasoning (t-statistic 2.102, p-value 0.036). These findings provide insight into the importance of learning strategies that support resilience and learning climate to improve students' mathematical reasoning abilities at the vocational secondary education level.

Sleep Value and Sleep Resilience are Important Dimensions of Sleep Health and We Measured Them: Methods for the Sleep Resilience and Variance in Sleep Valuation (SRVIV) Study

Abstract Sleep health is a multidimensional construct that is essential for general health and well-being. Sleep value, the amount of worth an individual places on their sleep, and sleep resilience, the ability to function emotionally, cognitively, and physically in the presence of sleep disturbances are overlooked dimensions of sleep health. To study these sleep health dimensions, we developed the Sleep Valuation Item Bank 2.0, Values Inventory, Monetary Sleep Value Questionnaire, and Sleep Resilience Questionnaire. This paper describes the methods for the Sleep Resilience and Variance in Sleep Valuation (SRVIV) Study. The SRVIV study was conducted to explore the factor structure of sleep value and sleep resilience and determine how they relate to demographic, sleep, and psychological variables. This study resulted in an analysis sample of 455 participants who were recruited by a Qualtrics team and completed a Qualtrics survey consisting of demographic, anxiety, depression, and sleep-related questionnaires, in addition to sleep value and sleep resilience questionnaires. Adult participants were recruited throughout the continental United States and were predominately female (53%), white (82%), married (50%), and had an average age of 45.4 years. The data resulting from this study can be used to address important questions in the field of sleep psychology.

Comparison of the effects of nursing and peer education on quality of life and resilience in patients with multiple sclerosis: A randomized clinical trial

BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent disease of the central nervous system that often leads to diminished resilience and quality of life in affected individuals. This study aims to compare the effects of nursing and peer education on improving the quality of life and resilience in patients with multiple sclerosis. Materials and methodsThis three-group clinical trial study was conducted before and after interventions at the MS Society in Hamedan, Iran. In this study, 120 patients with MS were randomly selected and assigned to three groups: nurse education, peer education, and control. Quality of life and resilience questionnaires were self-reported before and two months after the completion of the intervention. The educational sessions were conducted over five meetings, each lasting between 45 and 60 min, held every two days. Group one received education led by nurses, while group two participated in peer-led education sessions. ResultsThe results indicated that before the intervention, there were no significant statistical differences in demographic variables, resilience, and quality of life among the three groups (p > 0.05). However, after the intervention, both the peer and nurse groups showed a significant increase in quality of life and resilience compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, no differences were observed between the nurse and peer groups regarding these variables (p > 0.05). ConclusionsBoth nursing and peer education methods had an equal impact on enhancing the resilience and quality of life of patients with MS. It is recommended that peer support be utilized to empower MS patients, especially in contexts where there is a shortage of nurses.

The relationship between spiritual health and resilience of nurses with their compassionate care in intensive care units.

The objective of this study was to examine the connection between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care among nurses working in intensive care units. This descriptive cross-sectional study employed stratified sampling to select 340 nurses. The research utilized several instruments, including Demographic Information, Nurses' Compassionate Care, Iranian Muslim Adult Spiritual Health, and Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaires (significance level: 0.05). The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 24 using statistical tests including Chi-square, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results indicated that the majority of participants were female, with an average age of 32.65 years. The mean score for spiritual health was 192.53 ± 23.67, and the resilience score was 71.52 ± 13.43. The average score for compassionate care was 119.82 ± 13.93. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care in nurses (P < 0.05). Consequently, enhancing spiritual health and resilience scores positively influenced the compassionate care, and vice versa. To summarize a significant association exists between nurses' spiritual health, resilience, and their ability to provide compassionate care. It is recommended that educational programs are developed and implemented to enhance and maintain the spiritual health, compassionate care, and resilience of nurses, ultimately improving patient care.

The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire: Validity evidence from Portugal

AbstractBackgroundFamily resilience refers to a family's capacity to face and manage adversities, emerging as a stronger and more resourceful unit. A family system approach enlarges the lens to the broad relational network, identifying potential resources for resilience within the immediate and extended family. This approach emphasizes a family's innate ability to adapt in the face of adversities.ObjectiveThis study aims to test the psychometric properties of the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) using a sample of Portuguese caregivers with children aged between 10 and 15 years.MethodA total of 267 caregivers of children aged 10 to 15 years completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the WFRQ. Analyses were performed to evaluate the WFRQ's validity evidence based on the internal structure (i.e., dimensionality and reliability) and on its relationship to other variables.ResultsThe findings supported a 31‐item version of the WFRQ with one third‐order latent factor, three second‐order factors, and nine first‐order factors for the Portuguese population. The WFRQ exhibited satisfactory validity evidence based on the internal structure and relation to other variables.ConclusionOverall, the results of this study demonstrate the suitability of the WFRQ as a holistic measure to gauge resilience at the family level, going beyond individual assessments.ImplicationsThis instrument holds significant utility in family resilience research and clinical interventions involving families.

Predicting Acute Stress with Life Satisfaction and Psychological Resilience Scales during COVID-19 Pandemic in Greece

Background theories in positive psychology and mental health support that ‘Psychological Resilience’ (PR) and ‘Satisfaction with Life’ (SwL) are protective factors of psychological distress. On the other hand, ‘Acute Stress Disorder’ (ASD) is a condition related to the adaptation of sympathetic adaptation after a stressful stimulus in a period of less than a month. Regarding the stressful evident of COVID-19, little evidence is provided on the question of whether PR and SwL can predict ASD. To investigate, the present study received answers to three self-reported scales regarding ASD (Acute-Stress Disorder Scales [ASDS]; M= 38.67, SD= 15.51), PR (Nicholson-McBride Resilience Questionnaire [NMRQ]; M= 41.83, SD= 7.63) and SwL (Satisfaction-with-Life Scale [SWLS]; M= 23.3, SD= 6.31) from a sample of 1,158 Greeks from the general population during the spread of COVID-19 in the country. The results show that ASD is significantly negatively correlated to both PR [r= -.420, p&lt; .001] and SwL [r= -.311, p&lt; .001], while the predictive model (NMRQ and SWLS) predicted significantly ASDS [F(2, 1157) = 1155.06, p&lt; .001, Adjusted R2 = .21]. The results of the study are overall confirmatory to previous studies although relevant literature may be limit as emphasis has been put on PTSD. Future studies may test the same research question in non-COVID conditions to the Greek or other populations.

The role of peer social support on family psychological resilience in caring for Chronic Kidney Disease patients receiving hemodialysis

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease that necessitates continuous Hemodialysis (HD) therapy, and families, as primary caregivers in Indonesia, play a crucial role in caring for CKD patients. However, HD therapy places a significant burden not only on patients but also on their families, requiring fostering family psychological resilience to mitigate such a burden. Although peer social support is an important external factor in chronic disease, it is still underdeveloped. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the correlation between peer social support and family psychological resilience in caring for CKD patients receiving HD.This cross-sectional study used purposive sampling, engaging 134 families serving as caregivers for patients receiving HD therapy. The Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS) and The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) were adopted as instruments, and data were analyzed using univariate and Spearman tests.The majority of families reported high levels of peer social support (75,37%), predominantly originating from other members facing similar challenges related to caring for CKD patients. Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between peer social support and family psychological resilience (p-value&lt;0.05), showing that higher levels of peer support corresponded to higher family resilience.In conclusion, there was a strong correlation between peer social support and family resilience in the context of caring for CKD patients. Healthcare professionals should integrate social support intervention by establishing social groups to enhance family resilience.

ADAPTATION TRAINING FOR MENTAL RESILIENCE OF ADOLESCENTS USING THE ROY ADAPTATION MODEL APPROACH

Introduction: Adolescence is a key period for mental health, as over half of mental health problems begin during this stage and often persist into adulthood. Many adolescents, however, lack access to specialized care. This research aims to examine the impact of adaptation training on mental health resilience in adolescents, utilizing the Roy Adaptation Model. Method: This quasi-experimental study followed a pre-test-post-test control group design. The sample consisted of 100 adolescents, divided into an experimental group (50 respondents) and a control group (50 respondents), selected using purposive sampling. The experimental group participated in six weeks of adaptation training, with one session held each week. The training aimed to help adolescents better adapt to stressors, fostering mental resilience. The Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ) was used to measure resilience, specifically evaluating the capacity to achieve positive outcomes despite facing challenges. The Wilcoxon Paired test was applied to assess differences within each group before and after the intervention, and the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare outcomes between the two groups. Both tests utilized an ordinal scale for analysis. Results: The Mann-Whitney test results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, with a p-value of 0.000. This indicates that adaptation training had a positive effect on increasing adolescent mental resilience. Conclusion: Adaptation training is effective in improving adolescents' mental resilience. It has the potential to be integrated into school programs to support mental health promotion and prevention, offering a proactive approach to addressing adolescent mental health challenges.

Exploring the Relation Between Extroversion, Neuroticism and Resilience among Young Adults

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between extroversion and neuroticism traits along with gender and how it influences resilience among young adults. Data was collected from a sample of 150 participants, where there were 75 males and 75 females within the age group of 18-26. For this purpose, the NEO Five factor inventory(NEO-FFI) and the abbreviated version of the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire were administered.The results indicates that there is a mild to moderate positive correlation between extroversion and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.39, p-value = 0.00) and also between gender and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.25, p = 0.00), while there is a mild negative correlation between neuroticism and resilience (correlation coefficient=-0.33,p-value=0.00). Multiple linear regression highlights a statistically significant relationship between extroversion and resilience (B = 0.035, p = 0.00), a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and resilience (B = -0.22, p = 0.006), and a significant difference in resilience scores between genders,which can be calculated as resilience = 35.982 + 0.357 (Extraversion) − 0.228 (Neuroticism) + 2.282 (Gender), where males showed higher gender in relation to female participants.

The association between self-efficacy, perceived social support, and family resilience in patients undergoing hemodialysis: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundSelf-efficacy of patients on hemodialysis is considered a main component of the successful management of chronic kidney diseases. The self-efficacy of these patients may be influenced by many individual and social factors. This study aimed to assess the association between perceived self-efficacy and social support by patients on hemodialysis treatment and the resilience of their families.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 183 patients and 183 families of hemodialysis patients in the largest hemodialysis center in northwest of Iran. Data was collected from July to December 2021 using chronic kidney disease self-efficacy, multidimensional perceived social support (MSPSS), and the Walsh family resilience questionnaire (WFRQ). The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistical tests.ResultsThe findings showed that the mean score of patients’ self-efficacy was 171.63 ± 38.19 in a possible range of 25 to 250. Moreover, the mean score of perceived social support was 62.12 ± 16.12 in a possible range of 7 to 84. The mean total score of family resilience was 119.08 ± 26.20 in a possible range of 32 to 84. Also, the results of the study showed a positive and significant relationship between the self-efficacy of patients with their perceived social support and the resilience of their families (p < 0.01).ConclusionThe results of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between patient self-efficacy and family resilience and social support received in chronic kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, it is suggested to consider practical strategies in the field of family resilience and social support to improve patients’ self-efficacy.
