“…We found positive correlations between the positive thinking coping strategy and QoL dimensions, physical-like dimensions but particularly mental-like dimensions. It was previously demonstrated that positive emotions contribute to psychological and physical well-being [44, 45]. Similarly, the use of problem solving coping strategies seems to improve the QoL of the individuals.…”

BackgroundThe Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE) inventory is the most usual measure to identify the nature of coping strategies implemented by individuals and explore 14 coping strategies. The availability of a structure with fewer factors rather than the initial 14-factor structure may be of interest for both healthcare professionals and researchers. We report the validation process of a 4-factor structure of the French version of the Brief COPE in a French sample of individuals facing a singular life event, such as cancer, including patients and their caregivers.MethodsThe cross-sectional study included cancer patients and their caregivers. Self-administered data were collected including: socio-demographic (age, gender, marital status, employment status, and education level), coping strategies using the French version of the Brief COPE, quality of life (QoL) using the French version of the short form health survey questionnaire (SF36). Construct validity, internal consistency, reliability, and external validity were tested.ResultsThe sample included 398 individuals. The principal component factor analysis identified a 4-factor structure. The dimensions were labeled according to their constitutive items: social support (8 items), problem solving (4), avoidance (10), and positive thinking (6). The 4-factor structure was supported by different theoretical models of coping and showed satisfactory psychometric properties.ConclusionThe 4-factor structure of the French version of the Brief COPE, validated in a sample of individuals facing a singular stressful event, including cancer patients and their caregivers, makes the instrument easier to use both in clinical practice and clinical research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-016-0581-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Towards a Transversal Definition of Psychological Resilience: A Literature Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and objectives: This paper addresses psychological resilience, a multidisciplinary theoretical construct with important practical implications for health sciences. Although many definitions have been proposed in several contexts, an essential understanding of the concept is still lacking up to now. This negatively affects comparisons among research results and makes objective measurement difficult. The aim of this review is to identify shared elements in defining the construct of resilience across the literature examined in order to move toward a conceptual unification of the term. Materials and methods: A literature review was performed using the electronic databases ‘PubMed’ and ‘PsycINFO’. Scientific studies written in English between 2002 and May 2019 were included according to the following key terms: ‘Psychological’, ‘resilience’, and ‘definition’. Results: The review identifies five macro-categories that summarize what has been reported in the recent literature concerning the resilience phenomenon. They serve as a preliminary and necessary step toward a conceptual clarification of the construct. Conclusions: We propose a definition of psychological resilience as the ability to maintain the persistence of one’s orientation towards existential purposes. It constitutes a transversal attitude that can be understood as the ability to overcome the difficulties experienced in the different areas of one’s life with perseverance, as well as good awareness of oneself and one’s own internal coherence by activating a personal growth project. The conceptual clarification proposed will contribute to improving the accuracy of research on this topic by suggesting future paths of investigation aimed at deeply exploring the issues surrounding the promotion of resilience resources.

Os resultados apontaram que os sintomas psiquiátricos apresentados por pacientes e cuidadores foram negativamente associados ao nível de resiliência.…”

RESUMO.Espiritualidade e religiosidade constituem fontes significativas de suporte emocional e social para familiares de crianças gravemente doentes, sobretudo no caso de doenças potencialmente terminais. O transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas (TCTH) é um dos tratamentos mais arrojados e promissores que surgiram nas últimas décadas para doenças onco -hematológicas. Trata-se de procedimento altamente invasivo e que envolve risco de morte em decorrência de seus efeitos adversos. Por isso, exige o envolvimento intenso de um cuidador familiar durante todas as suas etapas, o que expõe esse membro da família a estressores contínuos. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o sentido atribuído à espiritualidade e religiosidade por mães de crianças com câncer hematológico submetidas ao transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de delineamento descritivo-exploratório, com fundamentação fenomenológica. Foram entrevistadas dez mães. As entrevistas individuais foram audiogravadas e, posteriormente, transcritas e submetidas à análise compreensiva dos relatos. Espiritualidade e religiosidade emergiram nas falas das participantes, coloridas pelas diferentes crenças religiosas professadas, como fonte de apoio e alento para a cuidadora familiar, auxiliando-a a suportar as adversidades inerentes à situação de ser acompanhante de paciente submetido a procedimento de alto risco. Os resultados corroboram a importância da religiosidade e da espiritualidade como recursos de enfrentamento. Palavras-chave:Espiritualidade; família; transplante de medula óssea; psicologia fenomenológica. SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGIOSITY IN MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH HEMATOLOGIC CANCERABSTRACT. Spirituality and religiosity are important sources of emotional and social support for families of severely ill children, specially when it comes to potentially terminal illnesses. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is one of the most daring and promising alternatives that have emerged in the last decades to treat onco-hematological diseases. It is a highly invasive procedure and involves risk of death due to its adverse effects, therefore, it requires close involvement of a family caregiver during all of its stages, which exposes this family member to continuous stressors. The goal of this study was to investigate the meaning attributed to spirituality and religiosity by mothers of hematologic cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This is a qualitative research, with a descriptive-exploratory design and a phenomenological fundamentation. Ten mothers whose children had undergone hematopoietic stem cell tranplantation were interviewed. Individual interviews were audio -taped and later transcribed and subjected to the comprehensive analysis of the reports. Spirituality and religiosity emerged from the speeches of the participants colored by different professed religious beliefs as a source of support and encouragement for family caregivers, helping them to deal with the adverse situation of ...
