Relationship between Humor and Subjective Well-
Being with regard to Mediating Role of Resilience
in Caregivers of Patients with Spinal Injury
Keywords Humor; Psychological Resilience; Subjective Well-Being; Caregivers; Spinal
Cord Injury
Aims Family members are the main components of the care system for injured spinal cord
patients. Taking care of such patients is a tense responsibility. The purpose of this study was
to investigate the relationship between humor and subjective well-being with regard to the
mediating role of resilience in caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury.
Instruments & Methods In this descriptive-correlational study, 219 caregivers of spinal cord
injured patients referred to Borna Scientific-Sport Institute in Isfahan in 2016 were selected
using available sampling. Data were collected using Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWBS),
Resilience Scale and Sense of Humor Questionnaire (SHQ). Data analysis was performed by
Amos 18 software, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap test.
Findings Correlation between humor and resilience with subjective well-being was
significant (p<0.001). The proposed model was good-fitting model (p<0.05). There was
also a significant indirect relationship between humor and subjective well-being through
resilience (β=0.22; p<0.006).
Conclusion Psychological resilience in relationship between humor and subjective well-
being as mediator plays an important role in improving the psychological state of caregivers
of patients with spinal cord injury.
