Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence of filial piety values of adult children caregivers on anticipatory grief in adult children caregivers of postoperative pancreatic cancer patients, and to examine the mediating role of meaning in life.Methods:A total of 282 adult children caregivers of patients who underwent pancreatic cancer surgery at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between February 2022 and June 2024 were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, the Anticipatory Grief Scale (AGS), the Filial Piety Values Scale (FPVS), and the Purpose in Life Test (PIL) .Results:Among the 282 valid respondents, the total scores of AGS, FPVS, and PIL were (103.58±7.69), (65.81±6.20), and (49.08±2.03), respectively. Mediation analysis showed that meaning in life played a mediating role in the relationship between filial piety values and anticipatory grief ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Adult children caregivers of postoperative pancreatic cancer patients exhibited a high level of anticipatory grief. Filial piety values positively predicted anticipatory grief in adult children caregivers. Enhancing caregivers' sense of meaning in life may help buffer the effect of filial piety values on anticipatory grief.
