Optimism, Hope, and Well-being Cancer survivorship and care Resilience and Mental Health

Abstract

Resilience as a construct in the recovery from cancer has been a widely studied area.The present study aimed to investigate the impact of hope and social support on cancer patient's resilience to deal with their illness.This was a quantitative research and data was collected using researcher administered questionnaire surveys.Participants comprised of 115 cancer patients.The baseline questionnaire was administered to assess the social support, hope and resilience in the patient.Several statistical tests including Two-way ANOVA un-weighted data analysis, frequency analysis, correlation and regression tests were performed.A Pearson's Product Moment correlation reported all three variables are positively correlated with each other.A simple linear Regression analysis was carried out with resilience as the independent variable and hope and support as independent variables.Results indicate that both hope and social support have a positive and statistically significant impact on the resilience of cancer patients (p <0.05 for hope and social support individually).These findings raised the possibility that intervention at an early stage can increase the resilience and improve the mental health of cancer patients.
