The aim of this study was to explore the factors that are associated with posttraumatic growth among spouses of women diagnosed with gynaecological cancer.
A cross-sectional descriptive study.
A convenience sample of 312 spouses of women diagnosed with gynaecological cancer was recruited from two comprehensive hospitals in China, from March 2018 to March 2020. Demographic characteristics, cancer-related characteristics, posttraumatic growth, perceived social support and coping were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. The methods were guided by the STROBE checklist.
The mean score of posttraumatic growth was 46.7 (standard deviation = 16.7). The associated factors of posttraumatic growth were spouses' age, perceived social support, problem-focused coping, dysfunctional coping (e.g. denial) and cancer treatment received by partners, which accounted for 34% of total posttraumatic growth score.
All participants contributed to the conducting of this study by completing self-reported questionnaires.
本研究旨在探讨与妇科癌症女性患者配偶创伤后成长相关的因素。
横断面描述性研究。
2018 年 3 月至 2020 年 3 月，从中国的两家综合医院中招募了 312 名被诊断患有妇科癌症的女性患者的配偶作为便利样本。使用自我报告问卷评估人口统计学特征、癌症相关特征、创伤后成长、感知社会支持和应对方式。采用描述性统计和多元线性回归分析。该方法遵循 STROBE 清单。
创伤后成长的平均得分为 46.7（标准差=16.7）。配偶年龄、感知社会支持、问题焦点应对、功能失调应对（如否认）和配偶接受的癌症治疗是创伤后成长的相关因素，占总创伤后成长得分的 34%。
所有参与者通过完成自我报告问卷为这项研究的开展做出了贡献。
