- Abstract
Purpose: This study explored the level of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment and identified the effects of hope, meaning in life, and social support on PTG. Methods: A sample of 165 participants was surveyed in a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from January 17, 2018 to April 9, 2018 using self-report structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results: The mean score for PTG in stroke patients was 2.82±1.14 (range 0-5). Living with family (t=-2.37, p=.019), having a religion (t=2.91 p=.004), higher income (F=8.94, p<.001), shorter period in stroke diagnosis (≤6 month) (F=3.88, p=.010), having no speech defect (t=-2.24, p=.026), and good functional status (F=3.99, p=.020) were associated with higher PTG. The higher levels of hope (r=.73, p<.001), higher meaning in life (r=.64, p<.001), and higher social support (r=.49, p<.001) were related to higher PTG. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that hope (β=.43, p<.001), meaning in life (β=.25, p=.001), and social support (β=.12, p=.044) were effective factors of PTG in stroke patients. These variables accounted for 42%p of the variance in PTG (F=20.52, p<.001). Conclusion: The study provides insights into how hope, meaning in life, and social support promote PTG in stroke patients. To increase PTG in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment, health care providers should consider developing intervention programs to help increase hope, meaning in life, and social support.
