The Role of Resilience in Coping With Future Uncertainty Among People With Brain Tumors: Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdults with brain tumors learn to navigate unpredictable physical and psychological symptoms along with the possibilities of tumor recurrence. As a result, they tend to become resilient to confronting profound uncertainty and actively employ coping strategies. Yet, the impact of resilience on coping strategies among people with brain tumors has not been fully explored.
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the effects of resilience on the association between future uncertainty and two distinct types of coping strategies (problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping) among people with brain tumors in Taiwan.
methodsA parent study recruited 95 adults with brain tumors undergoing at least 1 month of chemotherapy or radiotherapy at a veterans general hospital in northern Taiwan. We assessed resilience, future uncertainty, and coping strategies via a secondary analysis of data from the parent study collected using the Chinese versions of the Resilience Scale, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire for brain cancer, and the revised Ways of Coping Checklist. Simple mediation models were conducted to examine the role of resilience between future uncertainty and the two types of coping strategies.
resultsMost participants demonstrated low resilience and responded to stress with both problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies. Simple mediation analyses showed a statistically significant association between an increase in resilience and adoption of each type of coping strategy. In addition, resilience was a statistically significant mediator in the association between future uncertainty and both problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies.
conclusionsBrain tumor disease trajectories require people to effectively adopt both problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies to confront uncertainty. Health care providers play a crucial role in evaluating and fostering their patients' resilience to promote adaptability through effective coping strategies.
