Özet:

 Aim: This cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the predictive effect of hope, uncertainty, and perceived social support on resilience in Turkish parents of children with cancer. Material and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of parents of children who were followed up with a diagnosis of cancer. The study was performed between May 2023 and Jan 2024. Spearmans correlation analysis, univariate, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of the parents was 37.19  6.35 years, and 67.7 of participants were mothers. The mean age of the children was 8.73  4.79 years, and the diagnosis of most of them was acute lymphoblastic leukemia 38.7. Psychological resilience in parents was moderately and positively associated with hope r  .523 p  .001. A weak negative correlation was found between resilience and uncertainty r  .288 p  .023. Hope had a significant positive effect on resilience β  .463 p  .001. No statistically significant correlation was found between resilience and perceived social support. Conclusions: This study revealed that psychological resilience was positively associated with hope and negatively associated with uncertainty in parents. Health care Professionals should develop psychosocial interventions to enhance resilience and integrate into the care of parents of children with cancer.

 Amaç: Bu kesitsel çalışma kanserli çocuğu olan ebeveynlerde belirsizlik, umut ve algılanan sosyal desteğin dayanıklılık üzerine yordayıcı etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini kanser tanısıyla izlenen çocukların ebeveynleri oluşturmuştur n  62. Araştırma Mayıs 2023-Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Spearman korelasyon analizi, tek değişkenli ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin yaş ortalaması 37.19  6.35 olup, katılımcıların 67.7si annedir. Çocukların ortalama yaşı 8.73  4.79 yıl olup, çoğunluğunun tanısı akut lenfoblastik lösemi 38.7dir. Ebeveynlerdeki psikolojik dayanıklılık umutla orta düzeyde pozitif yönde r  0.523 p   0.001. Belirsizlikle zayıf negatif r  0.288 p  0.023 yönde ilişkilidir. Umudun dayanıklılık üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır p  0.05. Dayanıklılık ile algılanan sosyal destek arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın bulguları, psikolojik dayanıklılığın ebeveynlerdeki umutla pozitif, belirsizlikle ise negatif ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Sağlık profesyonelleri dayanıklılığı artırmak için psikososyal müdahaleler geliştirmeli ve kanserli çocukların ebeveynlerine sunulacak bakıma entegre etmelidir.
