The study examined psychosocial factors (quality of life, depression, anxiety, optimism, coping, and social support) in relation to symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in 108 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Canonical correlational analysis showed that both PTSD and PTG were related to poorer quality of life, lack of social supports, and avoidant coping styles. However, higher PTG was also associated with the use of meaning and social support to cope with their experience. The findings highlight both negative and positive posttraumatic outcomes but longitudinal studies are now needed to more fully evaluate these relationships.
这项研究调查了 108 名被诊断为卵巢癌的女性的心理社会因素（生活质量、抑郁、焦虑、乐观、应对方式和社会支持）与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和创伤后成长（PTG）症状之间的关系。典型相关分析表明，PTSD 和 PTG 均与较差的生活质量、缺乏社会支持和回避应对方式有关。然而，较高的 PTG 也与利用意义和社会支持来应对自己的经历有关。研究结果既强调了创伤后的负面结果，也强调了积极的结果，但现在需要进行纵向研究，以更全面地评估这些关系。
