    The predictive power of religious coping on care burden, depression, stress, and anxiety of parents of pediatric oncology patients in Turkey
    (SPRINGER, 2024) Uysal, Gülzade; Açıkgöz, Ayfer; Demirer, Pınar; Semerci, Remziye; School of Nursing
    This study aimed to determine the predictive power of religious coping of parents of children with cancer on caregiver burden, depression, anxiety, and stress in Turkey. It was designed as a descriptive and cross-sectional study, utilizing correlational analysis and regression models to explore associations between variables. Data were collected from 164 parents in the pediatric hematology-oncology clinics of a university hospital between November 2023 and March 2024. There was a negative correlation between caregiver burden score and negative and positive religious coping scores. Caregiver burden scores were positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress scores. Results indicated that caregiver burden, education level, employment status, family structure, family income, and age at diagnosis significantly predicted positive religious coping. For negative religious coping, caregiver burden, education level, family structure, and family income were significant predictors. This suggests that religious coping may help reduce caregiver burden, underscoring the importance of promoting constructive coping strategies to support caregivers' well-being.
