To elucidate the impact of familial risk factors, such as mental health issues and stressors, and dyadic coping on the family resilience of young stroke couples.
Key Findings:
Patients' and spouses' anxiety and depression negatively affected their own family resilience, highlighting the need for mental health support.
Patients' activities of daily living (ADL) positively influenced family resilience, suggesting that rehabilitation efforts should focus on improving ADL.
Dyadic coping partially mediated the relationships between familial risk factors and family resilience, indicating the importance of collaborative coping strategies.
Interpretation:
Dyadic coping is a key mediator linking familial risk factors to family resilience in young stroke couples, indicating that resilience is a shared process that can be enhanced through mutual support.
Limitations:
Cross-sectional design limits causal inferences, making it difficult to establish the directionality of relationships.
Sample limited to specific hospitals may affect generalizability, as results may not apply to all young stroke couples.
Conclusion:
The study highlights the importance of addressing dyadic coping in interventions aimed at enhancing family resilience among young stroke couples, suggesting that future research should explore tailored interventions.
