Abstract

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 (${\beta}=0.29$, p=.001), only child or first child (${\beta}=-0.25$, p=.015), the number of children in the family (${\beta}=0.25$, p=.016), and hope (${\beta}=0.38$, 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.
