Abstract

A cancer caregiver’s responsibility is not easy because it has a heavy burden and is full of complex dynamics. On the other hand, even though the burdens and responsibilities are not easy to bear, cancer caregiver’s are also expected to have good psychological well-being as possible. Unfortunately, psychological well- being cannot be achieved just like that because it requires self-means, one of which is hardiness. Hardiness is essential to help cancer caregiver’s carry out their roles sincerely and fully committed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between strength and psychological well-being in cancer caregiver’s. The method used is quantitative with a correlational design. Sixty cancer caregiver’s are members of the cancer care community as research participants using the purposive sampling technique. The research measurement used Clark and Hartman Scales of Hardiness (α = 0.909) and Ryff Scales of Psychological Well- Being (α = 0.932). This study’s result is a significant positive relationship between hardiness and psychological well-being in cancer caregiver’s. Hardiness effectively contributes 51% to the psychological well-being of cancer caregiver’s. This research implies that it is hoped that cancer caregiver’s will continue to train and improve their hardiness to maintain their psychological well-being. They can continue to carry out their roles and responsibilities.
