This study focused on gaining insight into the positive changes of stroke survivors. This study aimed to describe the level of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and explore its correlation with rumination and social support in stroke survivors. The impacts of individual characteristics on PTG were also discussed.
A descriptive correlation design was used in this study. Stroke survivors from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou City were investigated. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Chinese version of Event Related Rumination Inventory, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to assess the level of PTG, rumination, and social support.
The mean (SD) score of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory was 61.12 (25.41). There were moderate positive correlations between PTG with rumination and social support among stroke survivors (r1 = 0.392, r2 = 0.336, P < .01). The level of education, support from family, and deliberate rumination accounted for 34.6% of the total variance in PTG (F = 11.554, P < .001).
The phenomenon of PTG of stroke patients in hospital existed, but it was at a low level. Stroke survivors with a higher level of rumination, social support, and a university level education had a higher level of PTG.
本研究旨在深入了解中风幸存者的积极变化。本研究旨在描述创伤后成长（PTG）的水平，并探讨其与中风幸存者的沉思和社会支持之间的相关性。还讨论了个体特征对PTG的影响。
本研究采用描述性相关性设计。对广州市一家三级医院的中风幸存者进行了调查。使用创伤后成长量表、中文版事件相关沉思量表和感知社会支持量表来评估PTG、沉思和社会支持的水平。
创伤后成长量表的平均（标准差）得分为61.12（25.41）。中风幸存者中PTG与沉思和社会支持之间存在中度正相关（r1 = 0.392，r2 = 0.336，P <.01）。教育水平、家庭支持和刻意沉思占PTG总方差的34.6%（F = 11.554，P <.001）。
住院中风患者存在PTG现象，但处于较低水平。沉思水平较高、社会支持较好且受过大学教育的中风幸存者PTG水平较高。
