Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of resilience, family support, and spiritual well-being on posttraumatic growth(PTG) in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: The study collected data from January 20 to July 6, 2023 on 124 lung cancer patients who were admitted to hospital of C university in Seoul and received chemotherapy treatment. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, disease characteristics, resilience, family support, spiritual well-being and PTG. Data were analyzed using t-tests, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score for PTG in lung cancer patients was 55.17, resilience was 72.46, family support was 49.00, and spiritual well-being was 53.50. Significant positive correlations were found for PTG with resilience (r=.62, p<.001), family support (r=.40, p<.001) and spiritual well-being (r=.47, p<.001). Factors contributing to PTG of lung cancer patients were resilience (β=.50, p<.001), spiritual well-being (β=.20, p=.008), and gender (β =.14, p=.043). Conclusion: This study aims to provide basic data for the PTG intervention program by identifying factors affecting the PTG of lung cancer patients. It is necessary to develop new nursing intervention programs to improve PTG for patients with lung cancer based on strategies to enhance resilience and spiritual well-being.
