Abstract

Objective: Previous studies have shown that childhood adversity and posttraumatic growth are interrelated. However, little is known about this association and how it is influenced by social support and coping style in lung cancer patients. To explore the relationship between childhood adversity and the posttraumatic growth of lung cancer patients and the possible mediating roles of social support and coping style in this relationship.

Method: In the cross-sectional study, 328 lung cancer patients anonymously completed questionnaires about childhood adversity, social support, coping style, and posttraumatic growth. Pearson's correlation was used to test the links between variables and to verify the indirect effects between variables by constructing a structural equation model.

Results: Childhood adversity was negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r = -0.16, p < .01), social support (r = -0.32, p < .001), and confrontational coping (r = -0.36, p < .001). Social support (r = 0.33, p < .001)and confrontational coping style (r = 0.48, p < .001) were positively correlated with posttraumatic growth. In addition, social support and confrontational coping mediated the relationship between childhood adversity and posttraumatic growth.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that childhood adversity in lung cancer patients is significantly associated with low levels of posttraumatic growth and that social support and confrontational coping play crucial roles in this relationship.

不良童年经历与创伤后成长：社会支持和应对方式在肺癌患者中的中介作用。

目的：以往的研究表明，童年逆境与创伤后成长是相互关联的。然而，人们对这种关联知之甚少，也不知道社会支持和肺癌患者应对方式如何影响这种关联。探讨童年逆境与肺癌患者创伤后成长的关系，以及社会支持和应对方式在这一关系中的可能中介作用。方法：采用横断面研究方法，对328例肺癌患者匿名填写童年逆境、社会支持、应对方式和创伤后成长问卷。Pearson’s correlation用于检验变量之间的联系，并通过构建结构方程模型验证变量之间的间接影响。结果：童年逆境与创伤后成长（r = -0.16, p < 0.01）、社会支持（r = -0.32, p < 0.001）、对抗性应对（r = -0.36, p < 0.001）呈负相关。社会支持（r = 0.33, p < .001）和对抗性应对方式（r = 0.48, p < .001）与创伤后成长呈正相关。此外，社会支持和对抗应对在童年逆境与创伤后成长的关系中起中介作用。结论：肺癌患者的童年逆境与创伤后生长水平低有显著相关，社会支持和对抗性应对在这一关系中起着重要作用。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
