Abstract

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) in children affects the parents’ mental and physical health and their caring and supportive functions. Resilience is an important factor in health. This study aimed to determine resilience and its associated factors in mothers of children with congenital heart disease.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 136 mothers of children with CHD. Samples were selected in two hospitals of Shahid Modarres and Children’s Medical Center in Tehran, Iran, via convenience sampling from May to early October 2019. Data were collected using demographics questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Life Orientation Test (LOT), and Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale (RS). Data were analyzed in statistical software SPSS-16 using independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson and Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression. The significance level was set at p <0.05.
Results: Mothers’ total mean score of resilience was 94.08±12.81, while 14.7%, 66.2%, and 19.1% had low, moderate, and high resilience, respectively. Regression analysis showed that two variables of social support (B=2.20, p <0.001) and optimism (B=0.76, P=0.003) were associated with resilience in mothers. The duration of the child’s disease was positively correlated with the mothers’ resilience but did not predict it (B=-0.72, P=0.22).
Conclusion: The level of resilience in most mothers was moderate. Social support in the dimension of significant others and optimism were associated with mothers’ resilience. Therefore, holistic care and providing educational training programs that enhance these variables could be effective in promoting resilience in mothers of children with CHD.
