Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence resilience and positivity in Japanese parents who are experiencing hardships resulting from their child’s cancer diagnosis. Our aim was to provide material for developing effective parental support programs. Data were obtained through semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth interviews and were analyzed using a qualitative approach. Participants were recruited from a university hospital in Japan. Because this study focused on the use of positive viewpoints in coping with stressful events, it seemed useful to apply the concept of resilience; thus, we extracted categories from the interview data according to factors identified in Grotberg’s theory of resilience([I AM] ,[I CAN] ,[I HAVE]). The results suggest that, for parents, the degree of recovery in their child’s illness and their relationships with health care professionals are two of the most important factors for minimizing stress responses.
