背景:严重创伤是导致中国45岁以下人群死亡的主要因素,这需要入住重症监护病房(ICU)接受综合治疗。在ICU住院期间遭受意外和危及生命的创伤的患者的家庭成员经常由于疾病的不确定性而经历社会心理困扰。先前的研究表明,家庭功能和心理弹性与疾病不确定性有关,分别。然而,对家庭功能的现状和相互作用机制知之甚少,心理韧性,ICU创伤患者家属的疾病不确定感。因此,本研究主要探讨ICU创伤患者家属中这三个因素的现状及其相互关系。
方法:本横断面调查采用便利抽样的方法,其中包括来自重庆34家医院的230名ICU创伤患者家属,中国。通过自我报告问卷提取相关数据,其中包括社会人口统计学特征问卷,家庭适应性,伙伴关系,增长,情感和决心量表(APGAR),10项Connor-Davidson弹性量表(10-CD-RISC)和Mishel的家庭成员疾病不确定性量表(MUIS-FM)。进行Pearson相关分析以检验各变量之间的相关性。此外,采用结构方程模型评估心理弹性对家庭功能和疾病不确定感的中介作用.
结果:根据我们的结果,ICU创伤患者的家庭成员经历了较高的疾病不确定感,中度家庭功能障碍和较低的心理弹性。ICU创伤患者家属的家庭功能直接影响疾病不确定感,并通过心理韧性间接影响疾病不确定感。
结论:家庭功能和心理弹性是降低疾病不确定感的保护因素。医疗保健提供者应采取有效措施,包括改善家庭功能和以复原力为重点的干预措施,减轻ICU创伤患者家属的疾病不确定感。
BACKGROUND: Severe trauma accounts for a main factor inducing mortality for individuals aged < 45 years in China, which requires admission to intensive care unit (ICU) to receive comprehensive treatment. Family members of patients with unanticipated and life-threatening trauma during their ICU stays often experience psychosocial distress due to illness
uncertainty. Previous research has shown that family function and psychological resilience are associated with illness
uncertainty, respectively. However, little is known about the current situation and interacting mechanism between family function, psychological resilience, and illness
uncertainty of family members for ICU trauma patients. Therefore, this study focused on exploring the current situation and relationships between these three factors in family members for ICU trauma patients.
METHODS: The convenience sampling approach was adopted in the present cross-sectional survey, which involved 230 family members for ICU trauma patients from 34 hospitals in Chongqing, China. Related data were extracted with self-reporting questionnaires, which included sociodemographic characteristic questionnaire, the Family Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve Scale (APGAR), the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (10-CD-RISC) and the Mishel\'s Illness
Uncertainty Scale for Family Members (MUIS-FM). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between various variables. Additionally, a structural equation model was adopted to assess the mediating effect of psychological resilience on family function and illness uncertainty.
RESULTS: According to our results, family members for ICU trauma patients experienced high illness uncertainty with moderate family dysfunction and low psychological resilience. Family function directly affected illness
uncertainty and indirectly affected illness
uncertainty through psychological resilience in family members of ICU trauma patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Family function and psychological resilience are the protective factors for reducing illness uncertainty. Healthcare providers should take effective measures, including family-functioning improvement and resilience-focused interventions, for alleviating illness uncertainty in family members of ICU trauma patients.
