Post-traumatic growth is the positive psychological changes that an individual may undergo after coping with traumatic events. It can help individuals alleviate negative emotions, reduce physical and mental stress, and enhance self-efficacy. This study aims to characterize the latent profiles of spouses' post-traumatic growth and to explore the related factors for each subgroup based on the ABC-X model.
210 breast cancer couples participated in the survey through convenience sampling and completed the General Information Questionnaire, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, Dyadic Coping Inventory, and Resilience Scales.
Latent profile analysis revealed three distinct post-traumatic growth profiles among breast cancer patients' spouses: low growth-emerging edge group (30.9%), medium growth-moderate progress group (48.7%), and high growth-transcending self group (20.3%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that factors influencing post-traumatic growth in spouses with breast cancer include type of place of residence, resilience, negative coping styles, the number of chemotherapy treatments for the patient, and cancer stage.
There is significant heterogeneity in post-traumatic growth among spouses. Future research could utilize precise psychological interventions to improve post-traumatic growth based on the diverse psychological profiles of spouses, thereby enhancing the mental health of the spousal population.
创伤后成长是个体在应对创伤性事件后可能经历的积极心理变化。它可以帮助个体缓解负面情绪，减轻身心压力，并增强自我效能感。本研究旨在刻画配偶创伤后成长的潜在特征，并基于ABC-X模型探索每个亚组的相关因素。
210对乳腺癌夫妻通过便利抽样参与调查，并完成了一般信息问卷、创伤后成长量表、二元应对量表和复原力量表。
潜在剖面分析揭示了乳腺癌患者配偶中三种不同的创伤后成长剖面：低成长-新兴边缘组（30.9%）、中等成长-适度进展组（48.7%）和高成长-超越自我组（20.3%）。多因素逻辑回归显示，影响乳腺癌患者配偶创伤后成长的因素包括居住地点类型、复原力、消极应对方式、患者化疗次数和癌症分期。
配偶的创伤后成长存在显著异质性。未来的研究可以根据配偶不同的心理特征，采用精准的心理干预来改善创伤后成长，从而提高配偶群体的心理健康水平。
