Objective
The aim of this study was to study the memorial symptoms, rumination and post-traumatic growth in women with various types of cancer referred to public hospitals in Tehran.
Method
The research method is descriptive and correlation. For this purpose, 189 women with various types of cancer who referred to public hospitals of Tehran City were selected by convenient sampling and voluntarily. They completed the short form of Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and Event Related Rumination Inventory. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression analysis.
Results
The results showed that the intensity and frequency of physical symptoms of cancer and intentional rumination have a positive and significant correlation with post-traumatic growth. Also, the physical symptoms of cancer and intentional rumination can equally predict post-traumatic growth in patients.
Conclusion
Paying attention to the course of cancer in patients, and the psychological processes that result from the mental involvement of the patient on the outcomes of the disease can be effective in reducing the bad physical and mental symptoms of cancer and will make the treatment of illness easier for the patient.
