The mediating role of spirituality in the relationships between posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic growth among patients with cancer: A cross-sectional study
Objective: This study explores the impact of posttraumatic stress (PTS) on posttraumatic growth (PTG) and verifies the mediating effect of spirituality among patients with cancer. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional correlational design. This study surveyed 141 hospitalized patients over 20 y...

| description | Objective: This study explores the impact of posttraumatic stress (PTS) on posttraumatic growth (PTG) and verifies the mediating effect of spirituality among patients with cancer. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional correlational design. This study surveyed 141 hospitalized patients over 20 years of age diagnosed with cancer. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling from a regional hospital in Taiwan. Data were collected from January to April 2021. Measurements included sociodemographic and disease-related information and data from the following self-report questionnaires: Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index-Short Form, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and Spiritual Health Scale-Short Form. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping were used to analyze the mediating effect of spiritual health on PTS and PTG. Results: PTS and spirituality were negatively correlated, spirituality, and PTG were positively correlated, and PTS had no correlation with PTG. Spirituality fully presented a mediating role between PTS and PTG. Conclusions: Patients' spirituality should be regarded as an important variable that can impact stress appraisal and improve the patient's PTG when a diagnosis of cancer is received. Assessing spiritual health at regular intervals and integrating spiritual care with clinical care could decrease PTS and improve PTG for patients with cancer. |
