Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effects of perceived family stress, supportive resources, intentional rumination, and coping behaviors on posttraumatic growth of cancer survivors based on the Double ABCX Family Stress Model. Data were collected from 200 cancer survivors currently living with their spouses and analyzed by path analysis using AMOS program. The results of this study were as follows. First, perceived family stress of cancer survivors had direct effects on supportive resources, intentional rumination, and coping behaviors, and had indirect effects on posttraumatic growth mediated by supportive resources, intentional rumination, and coping behaviors. Second, supportive resources, intentional rumination, and coping behaviors had direct effects on posttraumatic growth. Third, supportive resources and intentional rumination had direct effects on coping behaviors and had an indirect effect on posttraumatic growth mediated by coping behaviors. The current study supported the applicability of the Double ABCX Family Stress Model to the posttraumatic growth process of cancer survivors.

본 연구는 Double ABCX 가족스트레스 모델을 기반으로 암 생존자가 지각한 가족스트레스, 지지자원, 의도적 반추, 대처행동이 외상 후 성장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 배우자와 함께 살고 있는 암 생존자 200명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 응답한 자료는 AMOS 프로그램을 이용하여 경로분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 암 생존자가 지각한 가족스트레스는 지지자원, 의도적 반추, 대처행동에 직접적인 영향을 미치고, 지지자원, 의도적 반추, 대처행동을 통해 외상 후 성장에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지지자원, 의도적 반추, 대처행동은 외상 후 성장에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지지자원과 의도적 반추는 대처행동에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라 대처행동을 통해 외상 후 성장에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 암 생존자의 외상 후 성장을 예측하는데 Double ABCX 가족스트레스 모델이 적용될 수 있음을 입증해 주었다.
