The Relationships between Resilience, Coping, Injury Severity Score and the Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Multiple Trauma
Keywords:
multiple trauma, health-related quality of life, resilience, coping, injury severityAbstract
Descriptive research investigated the relationships among resilience, coping, injury severity score, and the health-related quality of life of patients with multiple trauma. The samples of the study were 106 patients, recruited using a multistage random sampling technique from those who were followed up at out-patient departments of Trauma Clinics, Neurosurgery Clinic, and Orthopaedics Clinics from King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Phramongkutklao Hospital, and Vajira Hospital. The instruments used for data collection were the patients’ demographic data and the illness data form, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Jalowiec Coping Scale, and Trauma Outcome Profile. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.
The results were as follows: 1) The mean score of health-related quality of life in patients with multiple trauma was at the poor level (=725.21, SD=140.57); 2) Resilience was positively correlated with the health-related quality of life at the significant level of .05 (r=.442) 3) Emotional coping was negatively correlated with health-related quality of life at the level of .05 (r = -.472); 4) The injury severity score was not significantly correlated with health-related quality of life.
Recommendations: Nurses should organize group activities to increase skills for resilience after injury and develop appropriate coping skills; encourage patients with multiple trauma to reduce the use of emotional coping for patients with good health-related quality of life.
