ABSTRACT
Aims
Family members are the main components of the care system for injured
spinal cord patients. Taking care of such patients is a tense responsibility. The
purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between humor and
subjective well-being with regard to the mediating role of resilience in
caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury.
Materials & Methods In this descriptive-correlational study, 219 caregivers of spinal cord injured patients referred to Borna Scientific-Sport Institute in Isfahan in 2016 were selected using available sampling. Data were collected using Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWBS), Resilience Scale and Sense of Humor Questionnaire (SHQ). Data analysis was performed by Amos 18 software, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap test.
Findings Correlation between humor and resilience with subjective well-being was significant (p<0.001). The proposed model was good-fitting model (p<0.05). There was also a significant indirect relationship between humor and subjective well-being through resilience (β=0.22; p<0.006).
Conclusion Psychological resilience in relationship between humor and subjective well-being as mediator plays an important role in improving the psychological state of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury.
