Examining the Psychological Resilience of Adolescents with Leukemia: A Comparative Study

Abstract

DOI: 10.26650/FNJN18024

Aim: This descriptive and comparative
research was conducted to determine the level of psychological resilience of
adolescents diagnosed with leukemia.

Method: The sample research group comprised
of eighty adolescents in the 15-18 age group who have leukemia in pediatric
hematology outpatient clinics. The sample comparison group comprised of eighty
healthy adolescents in the 15-18 age group who were students from years 9, 10,
11, and 12th in a high school. Data was collected using a socio-demographic
questionnaire and the California Healthy Kids Survey Resilience and Youth
Development Module High School Questionnaire form. The Mann-Whitney U Test,
Kruskal Wallis variance analysis, homogeneity test (Levene), and Ki kare Test
were used to evaluate the data.

Results: It was seen that there were no
significant differences between the psychological resilience of adolescents
with leukemia and healthy adolescents (p>0.05) Females were observed to have
higher levels of psychological resilience than males in the research group. A
lower level of psychological resilience was identified in adolescents from the
research group who did not receive psychological support during the illness
compared with those who received psychological support (p<0.05). The
sub-factor point average of caring relationships and high expectations at
school were higher in the research group, whereas the sub-factor point average
of goals and aspirations were higher in the healthy adolescents (p<0.05).

Conclusion: As a result, it was suggested
that preventive mental health services should be planned and implemented to
develop resilience levels and protective relationships provided by the school,
friends, family and society should be supported.
