AbstractObjective To investigate the post-traumatic growth status of tumor patients receiving radiotherapy and analyze its influencing factors, aiming to provide theoretical basis for clinical doctors and nurses to formulate targeted intervention strategies. Methods A cross-sectional survey of 170 tumor patients receiving radiotherapy admitted to Department of Radiotherapy of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital was conducted by convenience sampling method, general information questionnaire and a post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI). Results The average PTGI score of 170 patients was 83.11±16.74, and 141 cases of them had significant post-traumatic growth, accounting for 82.9%(score ≥71). Logistic regression analysis showed that personality type, work status, and the times of hospitalization were the influencing factors of post-traumatic growth (all P<0.05). Conclusions Tumor patients undergoing radiotherapy obtain a high level of post-traumatic growth. Medical staff should make full use of the patients’ potential for post-traumatic growth and implement interventions as soon as possible to promote the physical and mental health of tumor patients undergoing radiotherapy.
