Abstract:
Objective? To investigate the correlation between post traumatic growth, social support and resilience in patients with breast cancer, and to provide reference for intervention programme on enhancing positive psychological quality. Methods? Totally 180 patients with breast cancer from 4 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Jiangsu Province were selected by convenience sampling method from June to October in 2018. They were investigated with General Information Questionnaire, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Results? In breast cancer patients, the total scores of PTGI, SSRS and CD-RISC were (62.52±17.59), (35.15±9.29) and (56.51±18.33) scores. Correlation analysis showed that the total scores of PTGI and its each dimension were positively correlated with the total scores of SSRS, as well as the total scores of CD-RISC and its each dimension (P＜0.01); the total scores of SSRS and its each dimension were positively correlated with the total scores of CD-RISC and its each dimension (P＜ 0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that resilience, methods of disease detection, and treatment plans were independent influencing factors of PTG in patients with breast cancer. Both social support and resilience could positively predict PTG, whose path coefficients were 0.493 and 0.302, respectively. Resilience was a mediator of social support and PTG. The indirect effect was 0.080. Conclusions? Resilience plays an important role in mediating between social support and PTG in patients with breast cancer. The resilience training could promote patients' PTG ability .
