Impact of Stigma, Social Support, and Resilience on Post-traumatic Growth among Patients with Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study
Ga-Eul Park, Heekyung Chang
Korean J Adult Nurs 2025;37(1):13-24.   Published online February 28, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2025.37.1.13
Purpose
The aim of this study was to identify the effects of stigma, social support, and resilience on post-traumatic growth in patients with stroke and to provide foundational data for developing nursing interventions that can effectively promote post-traumatic growth in this population.
Methods
This cross-sectional study employed a questionnaire-based survey. The participants were 150 patients who attended the neurology outpatient clinic three months after a stroke diagnosis. Data were collected between February and April 2024 using a structured self-report questionnaire. Analyses included descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, inferential statistics(independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffé's test), and hierarchical multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 27.0.
Results
The mean post-traumatic growth score was 2.52±1.05 out of 5. Significant factors affecting post-traumatic growth were age, education, religion, the presence of a housemate, income, time since stroke onset, stroke type, and stroke recurrence. Post-traumatic growth was positively correlated with social support (r=.44, p<.001) and resilience (r=.53, p<.001), but not significantly correlated with stigma. Regression analysis identified resilience (β=.37, p<.001), religion (β=.29, p<.001), and stroke type (β=.23, p=.033) as significant predictors, explaining 44.2% of the variance in post-traumatic growth (F=9.45, p<.001).
Conclusion
Developing and implementing nursing interventions to increase resilience may be crucial for promoting post-traumatic growth in patients with stroke. Further research is needed to design and evaluate these interventions.

Purpose
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the turnover rate of nurses working at regional trauma centers is 27.6%, which is almost double the turnover rate of 13.8% of all nurses in 2018. The turnover of nurses lowers the morale of the remaining nurses and increases their workload, negatively affecting hospital operation. This study aimed to investigate the mediation effect of grit on the relationship between the working environment and intention to stay at work among regional trauma center nurses, to reduce the turnover rate and improve their intention to stay at work.
Methods
The participants were 185 nurses with more than six months of clinical experience working at 16 regional trauma centers in South Korea. The data were collected using structured questionnaires from July 1, 2022 to July 31, 2022, and analysis was conducted using SPSS/WIN 25.0 programs.
Results
The intention to stay at work among regional trauma center nurses was different depending on age (F=6.32, p=.002), marital status (F=-3.66, p<.001), education level (F=5.29, p=.006), and total clinical experience (F=4.22, p=.007). Grit was found to have a complete mediating effect on the relationship between work environment and intention to stay at work (Z=4.49, p<.001).
Conclusion
To lower the turnover rate of trauma nurses and increase their intention to stay at work, it is necessary to subdivide the intervention program for various ages and clinical career, and to develop a mediation program that can improve nurses' grit by improving the working environment.

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the relationship among post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resilience, and retention intention in nurses who had experienced a traumatic event during hospital work. Methods A structured questionnaire, was administered online from September 10 to September 22, 2021 to 198 nurses who had experienced a traumatic event during work at a university hospital in G metropolitan city. Data were analyzed using three-step mediated regression analysis. Results Of the total participants, 70.7% had a high risk of PTSD. PTSD (β=-.20, p=.002) and resilience (β=.47, p<.001) had a direct effect on retention intention, and the explanatory power was 27.0%. However, the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between PTSD and retention intention was not supported, which indicates that the relationship between post-traumatic stress and resilience was not significant (β=-.09, p=.232). Conclusion Although there was no mediating effect of resilience, PTSD and resilience are considered to be important in order to improve nurses’ retention intention. It is needed to develop strategies to prevent the occurrence of traumatic events and to formulate policies and conduct programs for stress symptom management, aimed at increasing nurses’ resilience.

Structural Equation Model for Psychosocial Adjustment of Breast Cancer Survivors Based on Family Resilience Model
Jiyoung Seo, Myungsun Yi
Korean J Adult Nurs 2022;34(2):178-195.   Published online April 30, 2022
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2022.34.2.178
Purpose
This study aimed to construct and test a hypothetical model which explains the psychosocial adjustment of breast cancer survivors using the family resilience model suggested by McCubbin and McCubbin.
Methods
The study participants were 242 breast cancer survivors who had finished active treatments within the past five years. Data were collected from September to October 2017 from an offline breast cancer self-help group survey and an online breast cancer support group. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 and AMOS version 23.0.
Results
The model fit indices for the modified hypothetical model were suitable for the recommended level: x2 =223.80 (df=88, p<.001), x2 /df=2.54, RMR=.04, GFI=.90, IFI=.93, CFI=.93, and RMSEA=.08. Symptoms and posttraumatic growth directly affected psychosocial adjustment. Symptoms were found to be the most influential factors in the psychosocial adjustment. All three family resilience factors-family hardiness, problem-solving communication, and problem-solving coping-directly affected posttraumatic growth and indirectly affected psychosocial adjustment through posttraumatic growth. These variables explained 81.2% of breast cancer survivors’ psychosocial adjustment.
Conclusion
Health care professionals need to continue to provide interventions for symptom relief and support to improve the psychosocial adjustment of breast cancer survivors. Additionally, practical nursing interventions should be prepared for individuals and families of breast cancer survivors to promote recovery and reinforce family resilience. This will ultimately improve the quality of life for breast cancer survivors and their families.

Risk Factors for Delirium in Trauma Intensive Care Unit Patients
Jongran Kim, Jeong-Ah Ahn
Korean J Adult Nurs 2020;32(6):623-631.   Published online December 31, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2020.32.6.623
Purpose
This descriptive study aimed to present the incidence of delirium and identify risk factors for delirium in Trauma Intensive Care Unit (TICU) patients. Methods: The participants were 184 patients who were hospitalized in the TICU at a Regional Trauma Center in Gyeonggi-do. Data were collected between April and November 2019. For delirium measurement, the author used the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). Diverse dependent variables were collected through electronic medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, x 2 -test, and binomial logistic regression. Results: Incidence of delirium in TICU patients was 34.8%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for delirium in TICU patients were hemoglobin (Odds Ratio [OR]=0.62, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=0.43~0.88), injury severity score (OR=1.10, 95% CI=1.01~1.20), length of TICU stay (OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.03~1.29), administered sedatives (OR=6.04, 95% CI=2.47~14.76), and use of restraints (OR=5.75, 95% CI=2.29~14.42). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, healthcare providers, especially TICU nurses, should try to detect the signs and symptoms of delirium as early as possible, taking into account the specified risk factors of the patient. Preventive and practical intervention programs considering the risk factors must also be developed to prevent and alleviate delirium in TICU patients in the future.

PURPOSE
Critical care nurses are often exposed to many stressors, which may predispose them to develop work-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Hence, this study's purpose was to identify factors associated with PTSD among nurses in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), who had experienced trauma events.
METHODS
For this descriptive study, 169 subjects were recruited at the C University Hospital, where data were collected through the intranet from February 1 to March 16, 2018. Based on the stress, appraisal-coping model, well-structured questionnaires were used to measure PTSD as the dependent variable; and Type D personality, resilience, communication ability, problem solving ability, stress coping style, stress inducing events, and social support as independent variables. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze PTSD related factors.
RESULTS
The mean of PTSD symptoms was 15.52±12.94; with 20.7% and 45.6% of participants falling in the PTSD high risk and Type D personality groups, respectively. Moreover, resilience was found to be 107.41±12.79, traumatic events to be 28.25±7.07, and social support to be 80.22±12.20, while the following parameters were associated with PTSD: D type personality (Odds Ratio [OR]=4.27, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.62~11.21), experience of traumatic events (OR=1.08, 95% CI=1.02~1.15), resilience (OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.92~0.99), and social support (OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.92~0.99).
CONCLUSION
While examining risk factors associated with PTSD, Type D personality and the occurrence of trauma events should be considered when nurses are assigned to ICUs, along with the improvements required in hospital culture for enhancing resilience and social support.

Post-traumatic Growth among Stroke Patients: Impact of Hope, Meaning in Life, and Social Support
Young Ju Jeong, Hee Sun Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2019;31(6):605-617.   Published online December 31, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2019.31.6.605
PURPOSE
This study explored the level of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment and identified the effects of hope, meaning in life, and social support on PTG.
METHODS
A sample of 165 participants was surveyed in a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from January 17, 2018 to April 9, 2018 using self-report structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program.
RESULTS
The mean score for PTG in stroke patients was 2.82±1.14 (range 0~5). Living with family (t=−2.37, p=.019), having a religion (t=2.91 p=.004), higher income (F=8.94, p<.001), shorter period in stroke diagnosis (≤6 month) (F=3.88, p=.010), having no speech defect (t=−2.24, p=.026), and good functional status (F=3.99, p=.020) were associated with higher PTG. The higher levels of hope (r=.73, p<.001), higher meaning in life (r=.64, p<.001), and higher social support (r=.49, p<.001) were related to higher PTG. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that hope (β=.43, p<.001), meaning in life (β=.25, p=.001), and social support (β=.12, p=.044) were effective factors of PTG in stroke patients. These variables accounted for 42%p of the variance in PTG (F=20.52, p<.001).
CONCLUSION
The study provides insights into how hope, meaning in life, and social support promote PTG in stroke patients. To increase PTG in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment, health care providers should consider developing intervention programs to help increase hope, meaning in life, and social support.

Review Article

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to review articles that used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale to measure sleep quality among adults with trauma experiences.
METHODS
Databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane, Medline, Google Scholar, Riss, NDSL, and reference data were searched systematically for relevant studies from July 5 to 6, 2018. A quality assessment was conducted using the COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) risk of bias checklist, including content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, hypotheses testing, cross-cultural validity, criterion validity, and responsiveness.
RESULTS
Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. All selected studies confirmed the overall quality of sleep by total score, but only 28.6% of the papers presented subscales. The quality of the methodology used varied within and between studies. Internal consistency of 21.5%, cross-cultural validity of 7.1%, and criterion validity of 14.2% were all evaluated as sufficient (+). Reliability and measurement errors were not presented in selected studies.
CONCLUSION
Our findings revealed that overall quality of sleep was measured by analyzing the characteristics and measurement attributes of the PSQI. However, as a result of the varying purposes of each study, the full potential of the tool could not be optimized. Future research should assess the attributes of the PSQI based on the content specified in the COSMIN evaluation standard, using it carefully to consider the target population's socio-cultural characteristics.

Influence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorders on Quality of Life among Patients with Ostomy: Focused on the Mediating Effect of Resilience
Jee Hye Shin, Hyang Sook So, Eun A Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(6):657-666.   Published online December 31, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.6.657
PURPOSE
This study was performed to identify the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and quality of life (QoL) among patients with ostomy.
METHODS
A crosssectional survey design was used. A convenience sample of 150 patients with ostomy was recruited from three hospitals located in Gwangju and Chonnam province in Korea. Data were collected by self-report questionnaires and included demographics as well as measures of PTSD, resilience, and QoL. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and linear regression using the SPSS 24.0 program.
RESULTS
There were significant negative relationships between PTSD and QoL (r=−.30, p < .001) and between PTSD and resilience (r=−.57, p < .001). Resilience showed a partial mediating effect (β=.39, p < .001) between PTSD and QoL (Z=−3.12, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
This study findings suggest the importance of reducing PTSD scores and improving resilience among persons with ostomy which will possibly increase their QoL. Nursing interventions including counseling or education to improve psychological resilience might help better manage PTSD among patients with ostomy.

Posttraumatic Growth Measures in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review
Sung Hae Kim, JuHee Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(4):343-362.   Published online August 31, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.4.343
PURPOSE
The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate the measures used for assessment of posttraumatic growth (PTG) for women survivors with breast cancer and to evaluate the psychometric properties of each instrument.
METHODS
A systematic review was conducted to identify measurement instruments used for assessment of PTG using electronic databases such as KoreaMed, DBpia, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. Studied published both in Korean and/or English were included for the analysis. Studies were examined by two independent reviewers and eighty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. The selection of the eighty-nine studies was evaluated on methodological and psychometric properties including validity and reliability of the instruments.
RESULTS
Three instruments were identified in the review of the eighty-nine studies. The three instruments were identified as 1) Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), 2) Benefit Finding Scale, and 3) Positive Meaning Scale. The PTGI was the most frequently reported instrument used in the review. The majority of the reported studies were used translation and back-translation, but some of the studies did not report translation methods. Most studies (71.9%) reported reliability, but only 29.2% studies reported validity of the instruments used in the study.
CONCLUSION
This study was conducted to provide an evidence for selection and development of measurement instruments of PTG for breast cancer survivors.

Factors Related to Posttraumatic Growth in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
Hyeon Ju Lee, Seong Sook Jun
Korean J Adult Nurs 2016;28(3):247-255.   Published online June 30, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2016.28.3.247
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors on Posttraumatic Growth(PTG) in patients with colorectal cancer.
METHODS
Eighty patients who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer at least twelve months ago were recruited from the oncology outpatient clinic of university hospital in Y city. Participants completed four survey questionnaires: Korean versions of PTG Index, Korean versions of Cancer Coping Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and a Resilience Scale. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson-correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
RESULTS
The mean score of PTG in these patients was 51.16 indicating relatively high growth. Posttraumatic Growth had significant correlations with coping, social support, and resiliency. In addition to the variables of age and education that are found to be associated with the PTG, the PTG was significantly influenced by resilience, coping, and importance of religion. Forty-nine percent of the variations in the PTG were explained by these three variables.
CONCLUSION
The identified factors influencing colorectal cancer related to PTG could be considered in developing nursing interventions to promote positive psychological changes in response to adversity which colorectal cancer survivors might experience.
