“…The natural extension for these findings is consideration of how to increase levels of gratitude among individuals with disabilities. Gratitude interventions have demonstrated effectiveness for people with a variety of disabilities including decreasing depression in patients with psychiatric disabilities (Bohlmeijer et al, 2021; Kim & Jun, 2021; Wong et al, 2018) and decreasing levels of pain and negative reactions to pain in people with arthritis (Swain et al, 2020). Gratitude interventions have also been effectively combined with other treatment methods.…”

“…Expressions of gratitude have been suggested to influence positive coping, adjustment, and adaptation following traumatic spinal cord injury (Chun & Lee, 2013). Kim and Jun (2021) examined the effect of gratitude and self-encouragement on depression in people with psychiatric disabilities and found that higher gratitude scores were associated with lower levels of depression. Most recently, Umucu and colleagues (2021) found that higher levels of gratitude were significantly associated with lower levels of suicidal ideation after controlling for depression in veterans with mental illness and posttraumatic stress disorder.…”

Purpose/Objective: Flourishing, a primary outcome of rehabilitation psychology, is understudied among adults with disabilities. Gratitude has emerged as an individual strength that is both malleable and robust in predicting flourishing and adaptation to disability. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of gratitude on flourishing over time and to analyze the potential mediating role of adaptation to disability on this relationship for a group of adults with disabilities. Research Method/Design: Data were collected at 3 time points over 21 months (N = 429). A single mediator model with external demographic variables was tested to determine the relationship of gratitude (Time 1) with adaptation to disability (Time 2) and flourishing (Time 3). Approximately 40% of the initial sample was retained across all time points. Results: Gratitude predicted later flourishing and adaptation to disability accounted for a significant portion of this relationship, accounting for 27% of the total effect. Conclusions/Implications: Results of this single mediator model indicate that adaptation to disability serves as a partial mediator of the relationship between gratitude and flourishing, with both gratitude and adaptation to disability having a significantly positive influence on flourishing. Understanding gratitude's influence on later adaptation and flourishing provides data to inform rehabilitation psychology interventions. Impact and ImplicationsGratitude shares theoretical ties with flourishing and serves as a robust predictor of adaptation and flourishing. Gratitude predicted later adaption and flourishing in our longitudinal study. Gratitude interventions may be particularly useful for individuals with disabilities who are coping with adversity and are adaptable to personal preference.

“…Another study revealed that SET significantly reduced stress among the mother of children with cancer (18). Similarly, a study reported emotional SE as a significant predictor of depression and hence, recommended nurses to use SET to reduce depression (12). A study also found that SET reduced loneliness, stress, and stress-related physical and psychological complaints, and improved tolerance, confidence, friendly behaviors, optimism, positive attitude, and social skills (19).…”

“…SE is an attitude which empowers individuals to build trust, success, and support. It is not the denial or suppression of negative emotions in life; rather, it refers to the deliberate attention to positive issues and awareness of one's own actions (11,12). SE helps individuals more intelligently solve their problems and identify the activities that they can independently perform.…”

2022

Background and aims: The crisis of children’s illnesses and their hospitalization is often a main source of stress and anxiety for family members and threatens distress tolerance (DT) among parents, particularly mothers. Self-encouragement training (SET) is one of the strategies with potential positive effects on DT. The present study aimed at evaluating the effects of SET on DT among the mothers of hospitalized children. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2019. Participants were sixty mothers whose children were hospitalized in Ghadir subspecialty pediatric hospital, Shiraz, Iran. They were conveniently selected and randomly allocated to an intervention and a control group. Participants in the intervention group received SET based on the Schoenaker method in ten one-hour sessions in five days, while their counterparts in the control group received no SET. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Distress Tolerance Scale and were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 22.0) and the independent-sample and the paired samples t tests. Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and the control groups respecting the pretest mean score of DT (39.17±8.39 vs. 41.55±10.28; P=0.33), while the posttest mean score of DT in the intervention group was significantly more than the control group (51.23±6.95 vs. 41.23±10.26; P<0.001). Conclusion: SET is effective in significantly improving DT among the mothers of hospitalized children. Nursing managers can use SET to improve DT among these mothers.

“…Por este motivo, se han investigado los factores protectores, es decir, los recursos, las características o las condiciones que una persona tiene para afrontar situaciones de riesgo y que favorecen su bienestar (Amar et al, 2003). La gratitud se ha considerado como uno de estos factores protectores contra diversas enfermedades mentales y ha sido abordada desde la psicología positiva, que se enfoca en el bienestar de los individuos bajo el paradigma de apreciar los aspectos y sentimientos favorables de la vida (Kardas et al, 2019;Yeon & Hee, 2021). Incluso, según Vaillant (1993), la gratitud permite la transformación de emociones autodestructivas en emociones curativas, lo que resulta fundamental para procesos terapéuticos, pues emociones como la amargura y el resentimiento son reemplazadas por otras más positivas, como el agradecimiento y la aceptación.…”

La gratitud ha sido considerada como un factor protector de diferentes enfermedades mentales y proporciona a los individuos mayores sentimientos de connotación positiva hacia la vida, lo que favorece al bienestar de las personas, pero poco se ha explorado su relación con la satisfacción con la vida y la resiliencia. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación es identificar si existe relación entre la gratitud, la resiliencia y la satisfacción con la vida, y compararlas según el sexo e ingresos económicos en adultos colombianos. Para ello se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, con alcance correlacional. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios Cuestionario de Gratitud (G-20), Escala de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC 10) y Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS) en una muestra de 1099 participantes de nacionalidad colombiana, 123 hombres, 971 mujeres y 5 otros. Sus edades oscilaban entre los 19 y 67 años, y recibían en su mayoría mensualmente entre 400 000 COP y 900 000 COP (96.06 USD-218.07 USD). Los resultados mostraron altos niveles de gratitud, resiliencia y satisfacción con la vida, a nivel comparativo no se encontraron diferencias entre hombres y mujeres, los participantes con mayores ingresos económicos presentaron mayores niveles de gratitud y satisfacción con la vida en comparación de aquellos con menores ingresos, y finalmente se hallaron correlaciones fuertes y positivas entre la gratitud, resiliencia y satisfacción con la vida. En conclusión, puede contemplarse a la gratitud como un aspecto favorable para la salud, la calidad de vida y el mejoramiento de otras condiciones psicológicas.
