Predictors and outcomes of benefit finding, positive reappraisal coping, and posttraumatic growth were examined using interviews and questionnaires from a longitudinal study of women with early-stage breast cancer followed from primary medical treatment completion to 3 (n=92) and 12 months (n=60) later. Most women (83%) reported at least 1 benefit of their breast cancer experience. Benefit finding (i.e., identification of benefits, number of benefits), positive reappraisal coping, and posttraumatic growth had distinct significant predictors. Positive reappraisal coping at study entry predicted positive mood and perceived health at 3 and 12 months and posttraumatic growth at 12 months, whereas benefit finding did not predict any outcome. Findings suggest that benefit finding, positive reappraisal coping, and posttraumatic growth are related, but distinct, constructs.
通过访谈和问卷调查，对早期乳腺癌女性从完成初始治疗到3个月（n = 92）和12个月（n = 60）后的纵向研究中获益发现、积极重新评价应对和创伤后成长的预测因素及结果进行了考察。大多数女性（83%）报告称其乳腺癌经历至少带来了1个益处。获益发现（即益处的识别、益处的数量）、积极重新评价应对和创伤后成长有不同的显著预测因素。研究开始时的积极重新评价应对可预测3个月和12个月时的积极情绪和感知健康以及12个月时的创伤后成长，而获益发现并不能预测任何结果。研究结果表明，获益发现、积极重新评价应对和创伤后成长是相关但不同的概念。
