Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the convergence factors to posttraumatic growth(PTG) in survivors with female urogenital neoplasm survivors. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 141 female urogenital neoplasm survivors via e-mail from September to October, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of PTG inventory, illness intrusiveness rating scale, cancer coping, family cohesion evaluation scale, and medical outcomes study social support survey. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson-correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Total score of PTG was 84.13points and statistically significant according to age, religion, marital status and positively associated with coping, family cohesion and social support. Results of the regression analysis showed religion(${\beta}=.127$), marital status(${\beta}=.081$), coping(${\beta}=.232$) and family cohesion(${\beta}=.415$), it were explained 44.7%. This study indicates that it is important to understand general characteristics of personal. And a convergent approach is needed to promote PTG by hospital and community.

본 연구는 여성생식기 암 생존자들의 외상 후 성장과 관련한 영향요인을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 여성생식기 암 환자들 가운데 치료가 성공적으로 종결되고 인터넷 카페 활동을 하는 암 환자 자조모임의 141명을 대상으로 하였으며, 2016년 9월부터 10월까지 외상 후 성장, 질병으로 인한 영향, 대처, 가족응집력 그리고 사회적 지지를 이메일을 이용하여 측정한 후 일원변량분석, 피어슨 상관관계 그리고 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 외상 후 성장은 평균 84.13점 이었으며, 나이, 종교, 결혼상태에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였고, 대처, 가족응집력, 사회적 지지와는 정적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 외상 후 성장에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수는 종교(${\beta}=.127$), 결혼상태(${\beta}=.081$), 대처(${\beta}=.232$) 그리고 가족응집력(${\beta}=.415$)으로 설명력은 44.7%였다. 본 연구는 여성생식기 암 생존자의 외상 후 성장을 위하여 개인의 일반적인 특성에 대한 이해와 사회심리적 요인을 파악할 필요가 있음을 제시하고 있다. 나아가 여성 생식기 암 대상자의 외상 후 성장을 촉진할 수 있는 의료 및 지역사회 기관의 융합적인 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.
