Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the effects of hope and Self-efficacy on posttraumatic growth in mothers of children with cancers.
Methods: A descriptive research design was used and 102 mothers participated in the study. They were primary care givers of children with cancers who were being treated at a tertiary care hospital in Seoul. A structured questionnaires which measured the degree of hope, self-efficacy, and posttraumatic growth was used for data collection. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
Results: There were positive correlations between posttraumatic growth and hope (r=.44, p<.001) as well as self-efficacy (r=.33, p=.003). The major predictors of posttraumatic growth were religion (β=0.29, p=.001), only child or first child (β=-0.25, p=.015), the number of children in the family (β=0.25, p=.016), and hope (β=0.38, p=.001). This model explained about 30.4% of the total variables found in posttraumatic growth (F=9.84, p<.001).
Conclusion: The findings from this study show that posttraumatic growth in mothers of children with cancers is largely predicted by hope indicating a need to develop nursing intervention programs to enhance hope in these mothers.
