Despite the fact that being exposed to traumatic and stressful events could have severe consequences, studies have shown that even in the wake of negative events such as cancer diagnosis, we see some changes and positive impacts in scheme, philosophy of life and self-perception, a process which is called Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). The aim of the current research is to define share of self-efficacy and perceived social support in the prediction of PTG.
The research is a correlation type. For this aim, 95 patients with cancer came to Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital, Tehran, Vali-e-Asr Hospital, Zanjan, and Mehraneh Charity Institute, Zanjan in 2012 have been selec ted based on available sampling and evaluated regarding self-efficacy, and perceived social support and PTG.
Data analysis using Pearson correlation and regression analysis (simple and multiple) showed that self-efficacy and Perceived Social Support in cancer patients have direct significant relation with variable of PTG and explain 13.5%, 10.6% and jointly 20.7% of PTG changes respectively.
The research findings show that the variables of self-efficacy and Perceived Social Support explain significantly the PTG and these psychological variables can be used to provide improvement plans and mental health and PTG facilities.
尽管遭受创伤性和应激性事件可能会产生严重后果，但研究表明，即使在诸如癌症诊断等负面事件之后，我们在人生规划、生活哲学和自我认知方面也会看到一些变化和积极影响，这一过程被称为创伤后成长（PTG）。本研究的目的是确定自我效能感和感知到的社会支持在预测创伤后成长中的作用。
本研究为相关性研究。为此，2012年，根据便利抽样法，选取了95名癌症患者，他们分别来自德黑兰的塔吉什烈士医院、赞詹的瓦利 - 阿斯尔医院以及赞詹的梅拉内慈善机构，并对他们的自我效能感、感知到的社会支持和创伤后成长进行了评估。
使用Pearson相关性分析和回归分析（简单和多元）进行数据分析表明，癌症患者的自我效能感和感知到的社会支持与创伤后成长变量存在直接显著关系，分别解释了创伤后成长变化的13.5%、10.6%，共同解释了20.7%。
研究结果表明，自我效能感和感知到的社会支持变量能显著解释创伤后成长，这些心理变量可用于制定改善计划以及提供心理健康和创伤后成长相关的设施。
