This study investigated the traumatic distress and posttraumatic growth in 58 advanced cancer patients receiving palliative treatment in a Pain Relief and Palliative Care Unit. The patients completed the Greek version of the Impact of Events Scale-Revised and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Statistically significant associations were found among Impact of Events Scale-Revised-Greek "Relating to Others" (r = 0.311, P = .017), "New Possibilities" ( r = 0.248, P = .050), and "Appreciation of Life" ( r = 0.419, P = .001), and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory scores (r = 0.323, P = .013). Similarly, "Appreciation of Life" correlated significantly with "Avoidance" (r = 0.318, P = .015), "Intrusion" (r = 0.365, P = .005), and "Hyperarousal" (r = 0.398, P = .002). Statistically significant associations were also found between "Relating to Others" and "Intrusion" (r = 0.414, P = .001). The study concluded that in advanced cancer patients, the higher the impact event, the more improvement in their relationships with others, enhanced life appreciation, and more positive consequences after trauma.
本研究调查了在一家止痛与姑息治疗科接受姑息治疗的58例晚期癌症患者的创伤性应激和创伤后成长情况。患者完成了希腊版的事件影响量表修订版（Impact of Events Scale-Revised）和创伤后成长量表（Posttraumatic Growth Inventory）。结果发现，事件影响量表修订版希腊版中的“与他人的关系”（r = 0.311，P = 0.017）、“新的可能性”（r = 0.248，P = 0.050）和“对生活的感激”（r = 0.419，P = 0.001）与创伤后成长量表得分（r = 0.323，P = 0.013）之间存在统计学上的显著关联。同样，“对生活的感激”与“回避”（r = 0.318，P = 0.015）、“闯入”（r = 0.365，P = 0.005）和“过度觉醒”（r = 0.398，P = 0.002）也显著相关。“与他人的关系”和“闯入”之间也存在统计学上的显著关联（r = 0.414，P = 0.001）。该研究得出结论，在晚期癌症患者中，影响事件越强烈，他们与他人的关系改善就越大，对生活的感激增强，创伤后的积极后果也越多。
