Hopefulness prediction modeling based on resilience and cognitive emotional regulation considering the mediating of quality of life in women with breast cancer

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hopefulness prediction modeling based on resilience and cognitive emotional regulation considering the mediating quality of life in women with breast cancer. The research method was descriptive and the statistical method was correlation. The statistical population of this study included all patients with breast cancer referring to Cancer Institute of Imam Khomeini and Milad hospitals in Tehran in 1397-1398. Purposeful sampling method was used to select the sample. In this way, 300 patients with breast cancer were selected based on the criteria of entering and leaving the research. The research instruments were the Conor-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, Garnowski et all, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Inventory), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale, and Schneider hopefulness et all, for data analysis, structural equation modeling was used. The findings showed that the direct effect of quality of life on hopefulness of patients with breast cancer was equal to (t = 1.98 and β = 0.31) and Resilience had a significant direct (t=2.38 & β=0.37) and indirect (t=2.03 & β=0.14) effect on the hopefulness (mediating of quality of life) (p <0.05). Also, positive cognitive emotion regulation and negative cognitive emotion regulation did not have a significant direct effect on hopefulness. Positive cognitive emotion regulation on the hopefulness had significant indirect effect (t = 2.14 and β = 0.18) and negative cognitive emotion regulation on the hopefulness had significant indirect effect (t = 2.09 and β = 0.16) (mediating of quality of life) (p <0.05). The results of the model analysis showed that the factor structure of the research scales was confirmed. The results of the conceptual model test showed that the fitting indices of the research model are in a favorable situation. Increasing the rate of reproduction directly increases the hopefulness of patients with breast cancer and also increases the level of hopefulness of these patients by increasing the quality of life. Also, increasing the cognitive emotion regulation by increasing the quality of life increases the level of hope of patients.
