Abstract: (78 Views)
The present study aimed to predict resilience among cancer survivors based on purpose in life and perceived family support, considering the mediating role of hope. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design using path analysis. The statistical population consisted of all cancer survivors in Sanandaj City during the first half of 2025, from whom 200 participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC; 2003), the Purpose in Life Test (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964), the Perceived Family Support Questionnaire (Khodapanahi et al., 2009), and Snyder’s Hope Scale (AHS; 1996). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and AMOS 24. Path analysis results indicated that both purpose in life (β = 0.46, p < 0.01) and perceived family support (β = 0.21, p < 0.05) had significant direct effects on resilience. Moreover, both variables exerted indirect effects on resilience through hope, suggesting that hope partially mediated the relationship between the independent variables and resilience. Model fit indices were within acceptable ranges (CFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.07).
