Mediating Effects of Resilience on Social Support and Posttraumatic Growth of Primary Caregivers of Children with Congenital Deafness
To explore the mediating role of resilience between social support and post-traumatic growth of primary caregivers of children with congenital deafness.
Methods
2
220 primary caregivers of children with congenital deafness were investigated by general data Questionnaire
Social Support Scale
Resilience Scale and Posttraumatic Growth Scale. Pearson correlation test was adopted to explore the relationship between variables. PROCESS 4.0 Model 4 was used to construct the mediation effect model
and the Bootstrap method was employed to verify the mediating role of psychological resilience. Meanwhile
Harman's single factor test was conducted to eliminate common method bias.
Results
2
The social support of the main caregivers for children with congenital deafness was positively correlated with psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth
while psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth were positively correlated (
P
<
0.01).The mediating effect of resilience on social support and posttraumatic growth of primary caregivers of children with congenital deafness was 45.8%.
Conclusion
2
The posttraumatic growth of the primary caregivers of children with congenital deafness is at a lower than medium level
and the resilience and social support are at a medium level.
