Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of perceived stress on fatigue and its mechanism, so as to provide theoretical support for relieving the fatigue of the main caregivers of stroke patients.Methods:From December 2020 to August 2021, 311 main caregivers of stroke patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Yinchuan were selected by convenient sampling. The caregivers were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Resourcefulness Scale, Social Support Rating Scale and Fatigue Scale.Results:In this study, a total of 311 questionnaires were distributed, and 308 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.04%. The total scores of perceived stress, fatigue, resourcefulness and social support of the main caregivers of stroke patients were (24.98±6.36) , (5.31±2.86) , (83.98±12.85) and (39.76±6.21) respectively. Perceived stress were negatively correlated with resourcefulness and social support ( r=-0.313, -0.274, P<0.01) , and positively correlated with fatigue ( r=0.261, P<0.01) . Fatigue were negatively correlated with resourcefulness and social support ( r=-0.305, -0.268; P<0.01) . There was a positive correlation between resourcefulness and social support ( r=0.210, P<0.01) . The results of intermediary test showed that the direct effect of perceived stress on fatigue was valid, and the respective intermediary effect of resourcefulness and social support between perceived stress and fatigue, and the chain intermediary effect of resourcefulness and social support were also valid, with the amount of intermediary effect being 26.92%, 15.38% and 3.85% respectively. Conclusions:The chain mediation between perceived stress and fatigue is established between the resourcefulness and social support of the main caregivers of stroke patients. In the future, the mental and physical pressure of stroke patients can be alleviated by improving the resourcefulness of their main caregivers and providing social support.
