This study investigated the correlation between PTG and PTSS and their differential correlates in patients with breast cancer.Patients and methods: Overall, 145 patients with breast cancer were recruited. PTG and PTSS were assessed using the PTG inventory and the Chinese version of startle, physiological arousal, anger, and numbness, respectively. We investigated the effects of demographics, chemotherapy, depression, family support, alexithymia, and anxiety symptoms on PTG and PTSS. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to select the independent correlates of PTSS and PTG.Result: An association was observed between PTG and PTSS (r = 0.21). Based on multiple regression models, the common correlate of PTG (β = 0.271) and PTSS (β = 0.212) was anxiety symptoms. Differential independent correlates were years of education (β = 0.272), receiving chemotherapy (β = 0.248), and family support (β = 0.259) for PTG, and chronic pain (β = 0.316) and poor cognition (β = −0.350) for PTSS.Conclusion: Differential correlates were observed for PTG and PTSS in patients with breast cancer. Possible mechanisms and relationships between PTG and PTSS were discussed.Keywords: post-traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, breast cancer, chemotherapy, family supportChen HMChen VCHHsiao HPWeng YPHsu YTWeng JCSu JAChen YLDove Medical Pressarticlepost-traumatic stress symptomspost-traumatic growthbreast cancerchemotherapyfamily supportNeurosciences.
