Abstract
Objective To explore the impact of self-care efficacy and psychological resilience on post-traumatic stress disorders(PTSD) in breast cancer patients. Methods 303 patients with breast cancer were investigated with PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version(PCL-C), Chinese version of strategies used by people to promote health (C-SUPPH) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC). Results The total score of PCL-C was (38.02±8.35) and the incidence of PTSD in breast cancer inpatients was 20.13% with 61 cases. Correlation analysis showed that PTSD was negatively correlated with the score of self-care efficacy(r=-0.387) and psychological resilience(r=-0.341)(P<0.01, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that self-care efficacy(β=-0.274), psychological resilience(β=-0.149) and neoplasm staging(β=0.136) were influencing factors of PTSD. Conclusion Intervention measures should be taken according to self-care efficacy and psychological resilience of breast cancer patients so as to reduce the PTST incidence and improve mental health of patients. Key words: Breast cancer; Stress disorders, Post-traumatic; Self-care efficacy; Psychological resilience
