This cross-sectional study aimed to test the influences of social support and emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expression suppression) on burn survivors' posttraumatic growth. A convenience sampling method was adopted to recruit 130 burn survivors from the department of burns and plastic surgery of a public hospital in Linyi, China. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires on social support, emotion regulation strategies, and posttraumatic growth. Structural equation modeling was performed to explore the associations among social support, emotion regulation strategies, and posttraumatic growth in burn survivors. The results showed that social support positively affected cognitive reappraisal and negatively affected expression suppression. Furthermore, it positively affected posttraumatic growth. Moreover, social support indirectly influenced posttraumatic growth through cognitive reappraisal, which implies that cognitive reappraisal played a partial mediating effect in the relationship between social support and posttraumatic growth. These findings provide new insights into the predictors of posttraumatic growth. Cognitive reappraisal and social support should be taken into account to improve burn survivors' posttraumatic growth.
这项横断面研究旨在测试社会支持和情绪调节策略（认知重评和表达抑制）对烧伤幸存者创伤后成长的影响。采用便利抽样法，从中国临沂市一家公立医院的烧伤整形科招募了130名烧伤幸存者。使用关于社会支持、情绪调节策略和创伤后成长的自陈问卷收集数据。进行结构方程模型分析，以探讨烧伤幸存者的社会支持、情绪调节策略和创伤后成长之间的关联。结果表明，社会支持对认知重评有积极影响，对表达抑制有消极影响。此外，它对创伤后成长有积极影响。而且，社会支持通过认知重评间接影响创伤后成长，这意味着认知重评在社会支持与创伤后成长的关系中起部分中介作用。这些发现为创伤后成长的预测因素提供了新的见解。应考虑认知重评和社会支持，以促进烧伤幸存者的创伤后成长。
