Abstract

Background: This meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate post-traumatic growth (PTG) in cancer patients. Methods: We systematically searched for studies that reported PTG in cancer patients. Then, irrelevant studies were removed after the abstracts of articles were studied, and articles completely related to the research purpose were selected by examining the full texts of the articles. Finally, the articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis based on the criteria of critical evaluation. Results: Of 21 articles, nine studies were performed on women, one study on men, and 11 studies on both sexes, and all of them used post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI). The studies showed that the mean PTGI score was 60.72 and heterogeneity was not statistically significant (I2 = 0.0, heterogeneity = 0.998). The subgroups classified according to continents showed that the mean PTGI scores in Asia, Europe, and the United States were 61.40, 59.12, and 60.42, respectively. Conclusion: Recognition of the psychological responses in cancer patients requires much more attention from health care professionals, and they should consider programs to enhance PTG in cancer survivors.

癌症患者创伤后生长:一项荟萃分析研究

背景:本荟萃分析研究旨在评估癌症患者的创伤后生长(PTG)。方法:我们系统地检索了报道PTG在癌症患者中的研究。然后，在研究文章摘要后，去除不相关的研究，通过检查文章全文，选择与研究目的完全相关的文章。最后，根据批判性评价的标准，选择符合纳入标准的文章进行分析。结果:21篇文章中，9篇研究针对女性，1篇研究针对男性，11篇研究针对两性，均采用创伤后生长量表(PTGI)。研究表明，PTGI平均得分为60.72，异质性无统计学意义(I2 = 0.0，异质性= 0.998)。按大陆分类的亚群显示，亚洲、欧洲和美国的平均PTGI得分分别为61.40、59.12和60.42。结论:认识癌症患者的心理反应需要卫生保健专业人员更多的关注，他们应该考虑提高癌症幸存者的PTG的方案。
