Effects of Prosocial and Hope-Promoting Communication Strategies on COVID-19 Worry and Intentions for Risk-Reducing Behaviors and Vaccination: Experimental Study

Another widely used strategy to reassure the public and promote COVID-19 risk–reducing behaviors has focused on reinforcing positive future expectancies, which encompass hope—that is, positive expectations regarding future outcomes and one’s own ability to achieve them [21]—and the broader construct of optimism—that is, generalized expectations of positive outcomes [22]. Like fear, hope is thought to be a future-focused emotion [23].

Effects of a WeChat-Based Life Review Program for Patients With Digestive System Cancer: 3-Arm Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial

Spiritual outcomes consisted of hope and self-transcendence. The 12-item Herth Hope Scale [30] was used to assess participants’ hope on a 4-point Likert scale (range 12-48). Higher scores indicate higher levels of hope. The scale has been extensively used for assessment of hope in Chinese patients with cancer; it has a Cronbach α of .87 and a construct validity of .85, indicating good reliability and validity [31]. The 15-item self-transcendence scale assessed participants’ self-transcendence [32].

Therefore, the involvement of cancer survivors in the development, testing, and facilitation of the HOPE program is a particular strength of the intervention compared with other cancer self-management programs. Furthermore, the HOPE program is novel and distinct from many other cancer self-management programs because of its roots in positive psychology [27-29] and its unique focus on hope and gratitude to create an upward spiral of positivity [30] to improve well-being and coping.
