Objective

The primary objective of this study was to examine the association of rumination, metacognition, and posttraumatic with growth in parents of children diagnosed with cancer.

Data Sources

The study adopted a descriptive correlational design, and participants (N = 103) were parents of children with cancer. The study was conducted online through the social media platforms of three cancer associations. Data were collected using the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30, the Event Related Rumination Inventory, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory.

Conclusion

The findings revealed a positive correlation between deliberate rumination and metacognition with posttraumatic growth, while a negative correlation was observed between intrusive rumination and posttraumatic growth. Furthermore, deliberate rumination, intrusive rumination, and metacognition collectively accounted for 30% of the variance in posttraumatic growth among parents of children with cancer. These results underscore the significant influence of rumination and metacognition in facilitating posttraumatic growth in this specific population. Consequently, interventions aimed at fostering deliberate rumination hold substantial potential for promoting posttraumatic growth among parents of children diagnosed with cancer.

Implications for Nursing Practice

This research guides nurses in addressing rumination, metacognition, and posttraumatic growth in parents of children with cancer. By adopting a holistic approach, nurses can enhance parents' well-being and resilience in the face of a child's cancer diagnosis.

反思和元认知与癌症儿童父母创伤后成长的关系

客观的

这项研究的主要目的是检查沉思、元认知和创伤后与被诊断患有癌症的儿童父母的成长之间的关系。

数据源

该研究采用描述性相关设计，参与者（N = 103）是癌症儿童的父母。该研究是通过三个癌症协会的社交媒体平台在线进行的。使用元认知问卷 30、事件相关反思量表和创伤后成长量表收集数据。

结论

研究结果显示，刻意反刍和元认知与创伤后成长之间呈正相关，而侵入性反刍与创伤后成长之间呈负相关。此外，故意沉思、侵入性沉思和元认知共同解释了癌症儿童父母创伤后成长差异的 30%。这些结果强调了沉思和元认知在促进这一特定人群的创伤后成长方面的显着影响。因此，旨在促进深思熟虑的干预措施对于促进被诊断患有癌症的儿童的父母的创伤后成长具有巨大的潜力。

对护理实践的影响

这项研究指导护士解决癌症儿童父母的沉思、元认知和创伤后成长问题。通过采取整体方法，护士可以提高父母在面对孩子的癌症诊断时的福祉和恢复能力。
