Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between cancer coping, family support and degree of post-traumatic growth in female genital cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and provide evidence for nursing intervention to enhance post-traumatic growth. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 114 participants. The cancer coping, family support and post-traumatic growth were measured using a self-reported questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation using the SPSS/win 28.0 statistical programs. Results: The mean score of cancer coping was 62.65 ± 13.53, that of intrapersonal coping 38.32 ± 8.34, and that of interpersonal coping was 24.32 ± 6.56. The mean score of family support was 49.06 ± 7.32 and post-traumatic growth was 59.66 ± 17.92. Post-traumatic growth showed a statistically significant positive correlation among intrapersonal coping (r = 0.80), interpersonal coping (r = 0.61), and family support (r = 0.42, p < 0.001). Conclusion: To increase post-traumatic growth, it is necessary to develop coping interventions so that cancer patients can effectively and positively cope with various difficulties and problems in the process of chemotherapy.
