Abstract
PURPOSE/ OBJECTIVES: To describe the development and evaluation of the Hope Intervention Program (HIP), designed to enhance hope, based on the Hope Process Framework. DESIGN: Descriptive and evaluative. SETTING: Outpatient oncology clinics of two large hospitals. SAMPLE: Convenience sample--38 adults with first recurrence of cancer. METHODS: Questionnaire completed at end of last HIP session, three months, six months, and nine months. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: Helpfulness of the HIP components in maintaining hope. FINDINGS: Participants used intervention strategies that represented all four attributes of hope, with specific strategy use varying across time and individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Data suggested that HIP positively affected the participants' rebuilding and maintenance of hope. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: HIP has the potential to positively influence hope, and it supports the strategic vital role that nurses play in implementing research-based strategies designed to engender hope in their patients and prevent hopelessness.
