背景：癌症对韩国女性来说是一种危及生命的疾病。在诊断后，韩国女性癌症患者报告身体功能欠佳和心理困扰。然而，一些患者会经历创伤后成长（PTG），其中包括积极的感受和变化。 目标：本研究的主要目的是研究韩国女性癌症患者PTG及其相关因素之间的关系，以了解女性癌症患者在诊断和治疗过程中如何实现PTG。本研究旨在提高许多韩国女性癌症患者的生活质量。 方法：本研究调查了CBD、应对策略和恢复力对女性癌症患者PTG的路径结构模型。最终样本中包括164名被诊断为癌症的中年女性。 结果：首先，确定提出的结构模型实质，并具有较高的拟合指数。其次，通过CBD途径，问题解决与积极相关。第三，在预期中，问题解决将有助于恢复力，而恢复力将有助于PTG。这些发现对于开发未来的韩国女性癌症患者干预措施至关重要，并可作为改善其PTG的重要变量。

ABSTRACTBackground: Cancer is a life-threatening disease in Korean women. Female cancer patients in Korea have reported poor physical functioning and psychological distress after diagnosis. However, some patients experience post-traumatic growth (PTG), which includes positive feelings and changes.Objective: The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between PTG and its associated factors in Korean female cancer patients to understand how female cancer patients achieve PTG while experiencing cancer diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to improve the quality of life of many Korean female patients with cancer.Methods: This study investigated the structural model of the paths from the disruption of core beliefs (CBD), coping strategies, and resilience to PTG in a sample of female cancer patients. In total, 164 middle-aged women diagnosed with cancer were included in the final sample.Results: First, it was determined that the proposed structural model was substantial and had high fit indices. Second, problem-solving was positively associated by the CBD routes. Third, it was also favorably expected that problem-solving would lead to resilience and resilience would lead to PTG. These findings are important for developing future interventions for Korean female cancer patients and can be considered as an important variable to improve their PTG.
