| Abstract | ObjectiveThis study explores the impact of posttraumatic stress (PTS) on posttraumatic growth (PTG) and verifies the mediating effect of spirituality among patients with cancer.MethodsThis 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.ResultsPTS 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.ConclusionsPatients' 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. |
