Abstract: (91 Views)
Background & Aim: Childhood cancer is a prevalent and debilitating disease that serves as a major cause of mortality among children. Awareness of a child's cancer diagnosis generates substantial psychological distress in parents, impairing their quality of life (QOL) across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. Consequently, parents require adequate resilience and coping skills to navigate this challenging situation. This study aimed to determine the level of resilience and its association with QOL in parents of children with cancer in Urmia, Iran.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2022 with a convenience sample of 345 parents of children with cancer in Urmia. Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the SF-12 QOL questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive and analytical statistics at a significance level of P < 0.05.
Results: The mean resilience score of the parents was 65.84, with fathers exhibiting higher resilience than mothers. A significant positive correlation was observed between resilience and QOL (P < 0.001). Additionally, significant associations were found between parental resilience and characteristics such as age and duration of the child's illness, parental age, family economic status, occupation, and educational level (P < 0.005).
Conclusion: Parents of children with cancer can improve their QOL by strengthening their resilience. In this regard, utilizing religious, social, educational, and psychological resources can be highly effective.
