Abstract


Objective: To examine the relationship between psychological capital and basic psychological needs on psychological well-being, as well as to examine their influence on predicting psychological well-being among caregivers of stroke patients.


Methods: This study was a correlational study, involving 175 caregivers of stroke patients in a rehabilitation center from May to July 2024. Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing the influence of psychological capital on caregivers' psychological well-being. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient and hierarchical stepwise regression analysis.


Results: Psychological capital and Basic psychological needs showed a significant positive correlation with the psychological well-being of participants. In Model 1, psychological capital significantly predicted psychological well-being. However, when basic psychological needs were introduced as additional predictors in Model 2, the regression coefficients associated with psychological capital variables diminished, and some variables became non-significant.


Conclusion: Basic psychological needs were a mediating variable in the relationship between psychological capital and psychological well-being. Therefore, practical applications should focus on addressing basic psychological needs while fostering psychological capital to improve psychological well-being among caregivers of stroke patients.
