The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of positive psychological functioning in the relationship between mood, overcompensation, and emotional suppression and resilience in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
This descriptive research method was correlation type. The statistical population was all patients with gastrointestinal cancer in Shahid Rahimi and Shohada-ye Ashayer Hospitals in Khoramabad City in 2021, and 148 people were selected by purposive sampling. The desired data were collected using Weinberger's Emotional Suppression, Conner-Davidson's Resilience, Young-Rygh's Extreme Compensation, and Rajaei et al.'s Positive Psychological Functioning Questionnaires, and Temperament and Character Inventory. Data analysis was done using path analysis method.
The results showed that positive psychological performance has a mediating role in the relationship between temperament and resilience (β=0.621) and in the relationship between overcompensation and resilience (β=0.412) (p<0.001). Also, mood (β=0.421, extreme compensation (β=0.365), repression (β=0.647), and positive psychological function (β=0.723) have a direct effect on the resilience of patients with digestive cancer (p<0.001).
The results of the present study showed that positive psychological functioning mediates the effect of mood on the resilience of cancer patients. Therefore, it appears that cancer patients with positive psychological functioning can increase their resilience to deal with the negative consequences of cancer.
