Abstract: (112 Views)
Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the frequency of post-traumatic growth (PTG) and to evaluate the roles of anxiety, depression, social support, and spiritual well-being in predicting PTG among patients with breast cancer (BC).
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 197 BC patients completed several questionnaires, including the post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI), the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), the NEO five-factor inventory (NEO-FFI), the perceived social support scale (PSS), and a measure of spiritual well-being.
Results: The spiritual well-being (ß=0.290, 95% CI: 0.173-0.749, P<0.001), conscientiousness (ß=0.234, 95% CI: 0.175-0.573, P=0.001), and extraversion (ß=0.118, 95% CI: 0.103-0.419, P=0.005) were identified as positive predictors of PTG among the patients. In contrast, total social support and its subscales and three personality traits (neuroticism, openness to experience, and agreeableness) were not associated with PTG in this population.
Conclusion: Breast cancer patients with a specific psychological profile may be more likely to experience personal growth when confronted with their illness.
