Correlation between Disease Uncertainty and Perceived Social Support,Psychological Resilience in Family Members of ICU Patients
Objective To explore the correlation between disease uncertainty and perceived social support,psycho-logical resilience in family members of intensive care unit(ICU)patients.Methods A total of 508 patients admitted to ICU of Chengdu Third People's Hospital and their family members were investigated between January 2020 and January 2022.The general data,scores of Mishel uncertainty in illness scale-family member form(MUIS-FM),resilience scale-14(RS-14)and perceived social support scale(PSSS)were investigated by questionnaire method.The effects of RS-14 and PSSS scores on MUIS-FM score were analyzed by linear regression analysis,and the correlation between MUIS-FM scores and RS-14,PSSS scores was analyzed by pearson correlation analysis.Results The total score of disease uncertainty in family members of ICU patients was(70.58±10.53)point.The results of linear re-gression analysis showed that RS-14 score(β=-1.493)and PSSS score(β=-0.153)had negatively predictive effect on disease uncertainty(P<0.05).The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that MUIS-FM scores were nega-tively correlated with RS-14 and PSSS scores(P<0.05).The mediating effect values of psychological resilience be-tween perceived social support and disease uncertainty was 0.29,accounting for 39.19%of the total effect.Conclusion The disease uncertainty level is high,perceived social support and psychological resilience are at middle levels in family members of ICU patients.The disease uncertainty is significantly correlated with perceived social support and psychological resilience.
