Abstrakt

Wyjaśnienie, dlaczego pacjentki z rakiem pozostające w związku małżeńskim charakteryzują się lepszym przystosowaniem do choroby niż pacjentki niezamężne, nie jest w pełni zrozumiałe. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie równoległego efektu mediacji poczucia sensu życia i poczucia koherencji w związku wsparcia małżeńskiego i akceptacji choroby u pacjentek z rakiem piersi. W badaniu wzięło udział 213 kobiet. Zastosowano Berlińską Skalę Wsparcia Społecznego, Profil Znaczenia Osobistego, Skalę Poczucia Koherencji oraz Skalę Akceptacji Życia z Chorobą. Przeprowadzono analizę współczynnika korelacji Pearsona oraz analizę mediacji. Wyniki wykazały istotne korelacje pomiędzy wsparciem małżeńskim, poczuciem sensu życia, poczuciem koherencji i akceptacją choroby. Z wyjątkiem buforującego wsparcia ochronnego, poczucie sensu życia pośredniczyło we wpływie wsparcia współmałżonka na akceptację choroby. Poczucie koherencji pośredniczyło w relacjach między postrzeganym dostępnym wsparciem, faktycznie otrzymywanym wsparciem i buforującym wsparciem ochronnym w zakresie akceptacji choroby. Zasoby oparte na znaczeniach odgrywają istotną rolę w akceptacji negatywnych psychicznych i fizycznych konsekwencji raka piersi. Lekarze mogą zatem z powodzeniem włączyć te zasoby do programów rehabilitacyjnych w celu poprawy przystosowania do choroby nowotworowej.
