Abstract: Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the factors affecting the psychological resilience in parents of children diagnosed with cancer. Method: This descriptive type of research was conducted with 81 parents whose children were receiving treatment in the pediatric oncology clinic of a hospital between July 15 and December 30, 2021. Introductory Information Form, Psychological Resilience Scale, Caregiving Burden Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale were used in the research. Mean and standard deviation were used for data of numerical variables, and number and percentage were used for categorical variables. In path analysis, the relationship between variables was evaluated with β coefficient, t value and model fit indices (χ2/df, RMSEA, GFI, NFI, NNFI and CFI). Results: In this study, 81.5% of the parents were women, 48.1% were primary school graduates, 76.5% were married, 65.4% had a nuclear family structure, and 87.7% did not receive help in caring for their children. The Psychological Resilience scale total score of the parents participating in the study was 62.96±18.47, the Caregiver Burden Scale total score was 39.17±16.31, the Perceived Social Support Scale total score was 57.90±18.33, and the Psychological Well-Being total score was 38.85±7.87. As a result of Path Analysis, parents' psychological well-being (β=0.35, t=3.17) and perceived social support (β=0.35, t=3.49) had an impact on their psychological resilience, and caregiver burden (β=0.06, t=0.54) did not have an impact on parents' psychological resilience. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the perceived social support level and psychological well-being of the parents of children diagnosed with cancer positively affected their psychological resilience, but the care burden did not. In this regard, interventions should be planned for social support and psychological well-being of parents in order to increase their psychological resilience.
