The influence of locus of control, coping strategies and time perspective on post-traumatic growth in survivors with primary breast cancer
PTG may be increased in BCSs by acting on its modifiable factors. This includes adopting healthy behaviours, such as increasing physical activity and stopping/reducing alcohol consumption, and developing locus of control elements, such as powerful others, and coping strategies, such as positive thinking and seeking social support, through targeted interventions. Further studies, especially longitudinal studies, are needed to confirm the observed associations between health behaviours, health locus of control, time perspective, and PTG scores. Other measures, such as post-traumatic stress, should be considered because of possible inferences with PTG.
