“…Exposure to multiple negative stressors may place patients with hematological malignancies under tremendous psychological pressure, which can induce or aggravate their psychological problems to a certain extent. [9] As such, patients with hematological malignancies often complain about loneliness, the persistence of which may also contribute to various mental health problems. [10] Loneliness, a subjective feeling, is generally considered an unpleasant experience, occurring when an individual is socially isolated with deficient social relations.…”

To identify independent factors for predicting loneliness in patients with hematological malignancies. It is an observational cross-sectional study. 157 patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled between March 2020 and May 2020. The sociodemographic characteristics and psychometric properties (coping styles, self-esteem, big 5 personality traits, and hope) were tested for correlation with loneliness. Multivariate hierarchical regression analysis was then utilized to identify independent risk factors for loneliness. The patients exhibited a mean global score of 36.25 that corresponded to a moderate degree of loneliness. The sociodemographic factors, including occupation, family earning, living areas, times of hospitalization, were significantly related to loneliness. In addition, the coping styles, levels of self-esteem, the big 5 personality traits, and levels of hope were significantly correlated with the degrees of loneliness. Furthermore, sociodemographic factors (occupation) and psychometric properties (coping styles and hope) were identified as independent predictors for loneliness in patients with hematological malignancies. Loneliness is highly prevalent in patients with hematological malignancies. Notably, occupation, times of hospitalization, family earning, coping styles, self-esteem, big 5 personality traits, and hope are all independent risk factors for loneliness.Abbreviations: HHI = the herth hope index, PCS = positive coping style, SCSQ = the simplified coping style questionnaire, SD = standard deviation, SES = self-esteem scale, UCLA = university of California at Los Angels.

Background Cancer is a significant public health concern in the healthcare landscape. Amidst this challenging journey, the levels of hope, spiritual well-being, and resilience in patients with cancer have emerged as pivotal factors influencing the healing process. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being in cancer patients and the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being levels. Methods This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study. The study included 152 cancer patients undergoing treatment. A patient information form, the 12-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-SP-12) Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale were used to collect study data. Results Positive and meaningful correlations were observed between the Dispositional Hope Scale and FACIT-SP-12, Brief Resilience Scale, and FACIT-SP-12 (r = 0.390, P < .05; r = 0.246, P < .05). Mediation analysis indicated that Brief Resilience Scale scores partially mediated the relationship between the Dispositional Hope Scale and FACIT-SP-12 Scale scores; the indirect effect of hope on spiritual well-being through resilience was 0.351 (P < .05). Conclusion The study has indicated a direct relationship between hope and spiritual well-being, and resilience partially mediated the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being. Implications for Practice It is significant to provide psychosocial care to cancer patients to increase their resilience levels and to support their hope and spiritual well-being.

Background. The relationship among comfort, perceived social support, and hope should still be further explored. Clarifying the relationship between the aforementioned variables can enable clinical staff to implement tailored and effective intervention strategies for enhancing the management and quality of care of patients with ischemic stroke. Aim. This study aims to investigate the relationship between comfort, perceived social support, and hope in hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke and to explore the mediating effect of perceived social support on comfort and hope. Methods. A correlational cross‐sectional study was performed using an online questionnaire. The study was conducted from January to August 2023 among 572 patients with acute ischemic stroke, and finally 534 valid questionnaires were included in the analysis. The general information questionnaire, Modified Barthel Index, Shortened General Comfort Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Herth Hope Index were utilized for investigation. Mediation analysis was performed by structural equation modelling. Indirect effects were evaluated through bootstrapping. Data analysis was performed using the statistical program packages, namely, SPSS 29.0 and AMOS 24.0. Results. The comfort, perceived social support, and hope scores of patients with acute ischemic stroke were 94.1 (11.92), 72.74 (10.26), and 40.55 (4.99), respectively. The participants’ hope was positively related to comfort (r = 0.531, p < 0.001) and perceived social support (r = 0.589, p < 0.001). Perceived social support exerts a partial mediating role between comfort and hope, and the mediating effect was 0.159 (95% CI [0.117, 0.210]), accounting for 25.0% of the total effect. Conclusion. We reported that comfort—directly and indirectly—exerts a positive impact on hope. Particularly, perceived social support enhances the impact of comfort on hope; perceived social support mediates the relationship between comfort and hope. Clinical staff should correctly understand the relationship among the three variables; they should effects targeted strategies to enhance patient comfort and social support, thereby increasing the hope level among ischemic stroke patients and bolstering confidence in disease management. Implications for Nursing Management. This study demonstrates that comfort and perceived social support serve as protective factors for hope among ischemic stroke patients. This observation provides evidence supporting the optimization of management for ischemic stroke patients from the perspectives of the cognitive adaptation theory and comfort theory. The findings of this study contribute to a more optimal understanding among clinical caregivers regarding the mechanisms underlying the relationship between comfort, social support, and hope, and it facilitates the adoption of effective intervention strategies for promoting the psychological management of ischemic stroke patients and enhancing patient care quality.
