通过对203名脑卒中患者的家庭照料者进行问卷调查,探讨了照料满意感在社会支持和正性情绪之间的中介作用。结果表明:城市家庭照料者的正性情绪多于农村家庭照料者;问题取向的情绪支持和社交友谊有利于家庭照料者正性情绪的产生;除了直接影响外,社会支持还以照料满意感为中介对正性情绪产生影响。

As an aspect of psychological well-being, positive affection is viewed as an outcome of family earegiving. Social support is an important external resource that may be drawn upon in coping with stress, and would be helpful to improve positive affection. Caregiving satisfaction represents subjectively perceived gains from desirable aspects of earegiving which would be expected to lead to positive affect directly. Moreover, social support can predict caregiving satisfaction. So this research aimed to explore the relations among social support, caregiving satisfaction and positive affection in family caregivers. 203 family caregivers of stroke patients participated in this questionnaire investigation. The results indicated： positvie affection of family caregivers from urban was much more than that from rural area. Problem-oriented emotional support and social companionship had strongly influence on positive affection. Besides direct effect on positive affection, social support had indirect effect on it by the mediating role of caregiving satisfaction. To some extent, this research indi- cated the effect mechanism of social support on positive affection.
