Resilience and Posttraumatic Growth of Breast Cancer Survivors

Beschreibung

Although there is an abundance of information in the literature pertaining to breast cancer resiliency and posttraumatic growth, research on the impact of early-life experiences that either promote or detract from psychological growth in survivorship is lacking. This study investigated whether resiliency and posttraumatic growth determined from some types of abusive experiences during childhood mediate further growth when confronted with subsequent traumatic experiences in adulthood, specifically breast cancer treatment/survival. Data were collected through participant self-report of information using a retrospective questionnaire on perceived childhood discipline and abuse, resiliency, and posttraumatic growth. Specifically, the Emotional and Physical Abuse Questionnaire (EPAB) served as the abuse measure. The Predictive 6-Factor Resilience Scale (PR6) was used to measure resilience, while the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) measured posttraumatic growth. Results revealed that mild and severe physical abuse as well as greater degrees of emotional abuse were significantly positively associated with posttraumatic growth. Emotional abuse was associated with resilience specifically when survivors experience a sense of physical and emotional wellbeing, while physical abuse was not associated with resilience even when considering wellbeing factors.
