Factors influencing posttraumatic growth in ovarian cancer survivors.

Ovarian cancer survivors showed a moderate level of genetics knowledge while having a high risk for posttraumatic stress. Overall, this study showed that cancer coping was a powerful factor that influenced PTG in ovarian cancer survivors. Religion was found to positively affect PTG, and posttraumatic stress had a small negative effect. Spiritual nursing interventions and improving cancer coping while reducing posttraumatic stress are necessary to increase the PTG of ovarian cancer survivors.
