“… 36 In addition, family functioning differs by cultural influence for families with patients. 37 In Chinese context deeply influenced by Confucianism, family is attached great importance in terms of providing care and support for members with disease. 38 In the present study, participants reported a moderate level of family functioning, which contributed to their moderate level of psychosocial adaptation.…”

Purpose Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer from physical symptoms and psychosocial issues. This generates risks of psychosocial maladjustment that is closely linked with self-care ability and health-related quality of life. The study aimed to explore psychosocial adaptation of IBD patients in China and the influencing factors from individual and family levels. Patients and Methods Using a cross-sectional design, 191 Chinese patients with IBD were recruited from October 2020 to September 2021. General information questionnaire, general family functioning scale, resilience scale for IBD, and psychosocial adaptation questionnaire for IBD were used for investigation. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify predictive factors of psychosocial adaptation. Results IBD patients reported a moderate level of psychosocial adaptation. Regression analysis showed that personal resilience especially the three dimensions (i.e., positive illness perception, disease management, and support from fellow IBD patients), general family functioning, and disease conditions (i.e., extra-intestinal manifestations and current disease status) were the main contributing factors of psychosocial adaptation, explaining 49.3% of the total variance. Conclusion The findings suggest that healthcare providers could focus on improving patients’ illness perception about IBD and strengthening their disease management abilities, together with optimizing patients’ family functioning to enhance their psychosocial adaptation level.

“…Compared with nuclear families, the advantage of lineal families is intergenerational mutual aid. Moreover, good family functioning can promote mutual support among family members and increase the participation of family members (Shamali et al, 2021), which promotes family members to use human resources and civilian organizations' assistance, so as to improve the quality of home‐based care.…”

“…Disabled older adults requiring care are extremely dependent on families, and Chinese family members tend to view caring for disabled older adults as their obligation. Moreover, good family functioning can promote the health of family members (Shamali et al, 2021). Hence, family functioning plays an important role in the long‐term care for disabled older adults.…”

Aims: To explore how family functioning and family resilience mediate the relationship between disability severity and quality of home-based care among families with disabled older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 431 families with Uygur and Kazakh disabled older adults in Xinjiang, China, in 2020. The data were collected using the Katz Activity of Daily Living Scale; Mini-Mental State Examination; Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve Index Scale; Family Resilience Assessment Scale; and Family Caregiving Consequences Inventory Scale. All mediation effects were estimated in SPSS26.0. Results: Disability severity, family functioning and family resilience were all significantly correlated with home-based care quality. Disability severity had a 46.16% direct effect on home-based care quality and a 53.84% indirect effect on home-based care quality independently and in series through family functioning and family resilience. Conclusions: Disability severity directly affected home-based care quality and had an indirect influence via family functioning and family resilience. Multidisciplinary care teams should focus on families with disabled older adults and help them improve family functioning and family resilience by implementing targeted interventions, so as to improve home-based care quality.

“…According to Wong et al, 27 social support offered by family members, relatives, or friends promotes families’ ability to cope with and readapt to life challenges. Shamali et al 28 demonstrated that social support was positively associated with family functioning. Thus, social support was conducive to improving family resilience.…”

Background: There is limited research exploring the psychological and social predictors of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). Objective: This study tested the effects of social support, family resilience, and individual resilience on FCR among persons with breast cancer. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select 214 participants from March to August 2021 in 1 tertiary hospital in Jinan, China. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Path analysis was adopted to explore the effects of social support, family resilience, and individual resilience on FCR. Results: Findings showed that 94.6% of the participants reached a clinical level of FCR. Social support (β = −.75, p < .01) and individual resilience (β = −.32, p < .01) negatively and directly impacted FCR. Family resilience indirectly impacted FCR through individual resilience (β = −.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): −.34 to −.08). Social support indirectly impacted FCR through family resilience and individual resilience (β = −.15, 95% CI: −.23 to −.06). Conclusions: Persons with breast cancer experienced a high level of FCR. Individual resilience was a mediator between family resilience and FCR. Resilience (individual resilience and family resilience) partially mediated the effects of social support on FCR. The findings indicate that measures focused on improving individual resilience, family resilience, and social support should be considered by nurses, which are helpful for easing FCR.
