Objective To investigate the posttraumatic growth(PTG)in female patients with breast cancer after operation and the possible influencing factors related to the PTG of these patients. Methods 300 female patients with breast cancer from Oct 2014 to Jan 2015 in 7 third-level grade A hospitals were selected by random number table. The posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI)was used to study PTG status in these patients. Clinical data including age, degree of education, marital status, underlying disease, clinical stage, surgical method, adjuvant therapy and postoperative complications were univariate analyzed, then the positive factors were logistic regression analyzed. Results The mean PTG score was 59.83±12.90, univariate analysis showed that degree of education (F=15.80, P=0.000), underlying disease (t=3.90,P=0.000), clinical stage (F=10.17, P=0.000), surgical method (t=5.12, P=0.000) and postoperative complications(t=4.85,P=0.000) were influencing factors, while multivariate analysis by logistic regression showed that clinical stag(OR=6.635, P=0.000), surgical method (OR=2.858, P=0.000) and postoperative complications (OR=2.731, P=0.035) were independent influencing factors for female patients with breast cancer after operation. Conclusions The posttraumatic growth status in breast cancer patients undergoing operation declined dramatically. The level of metal change dimension are main clinical features of breast cancer patients. There are close associations between PTG and clinical stag, surgical method and postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the relationship of professional identity and social support among nursing undergraduates. Method Overall 286 nursing undergraduates participated in the survey by the professional identity scale and social support scale. Results The average score on the social support was (38.12 ± 4.70), and the average score on the professional identity of undergraduate nursing students was (107.29 ± 15.01), which was in the medium level. There was significant positive correlation between nursing undergraduates′social support and professional identity as well as other dimensions (P<0.05, P<0.01).
