A study on the correlation between post-traumatic growth and rumination, perceived social support in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Objective To explore the relationship between post-traumatic growth, rumination, and perceived social support in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, to inform targeted interventions for promoting post-traumatic growth. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 386 patients with inflammatory bowel disease using a general information questionnaire, the Simplified Chinese Version of the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (C-PTGI), the Simplified Chinese Version of the Event-Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI), and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Results The total score of post-traumatic growth for patients with inflammatory bowel disease was (58. 32±16. 63) points, indicating a moderate level. The total score for rumination was (27. 68±12. 82) points, and the total score for perceived social support was (58. 78±12. 51) points. Post-traumatic growth in patients with inflammatory bowel disease was positively correlated with rumination and perceived social support (P<0. 01). Post-traumatic growth was positively correlated with purposeful rumination and perceived social support (P<0. 001). Post-traumatic growth was also positively correlated with perceived social support, family support, friend support, and support from other personnel (P<0. 001). In the multiple linear regression analysis, all variables that entered the model were statistically significant, accounting for approximately 23% of the variance in post-traumatic growth. Conclusion There is a correlation between post-traumatic growth in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and each dimension of rumination and perceived social support. Rumination and perceived social support positively may contribute to enhancing post-traumatic growth in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, thereby promoting their mental health and overall development. (目的 探讨炎症性肠病患者创伤后成长与反刍性沉思、领悟社会支持之间的关系, 为制定针对性干预措施提供依据。方法 对386例炎症性肠病患者采用一般情况调查表、简体中文版创伤后成长评定量表(C-PTGI)、简体中文版事件相关反刍性沉思问卷(C-ERRI)、领悟社会支持量表(PSSS)进行问卷调查。结果 炎症性肠病患者创伤后成长总分为(58. 32±16. 63)分, 处于中等水平; 反刍性沉思总分为(27. 68±12. 82)分, 领悟社会支持总分为(58. 78±12. 51)分。炎症性肠病患者创伤后成长与反刍性沉思、领悟社会支持呈正相关(P＜0. 01)。创伤后成长与目的性反刍性沉思、领悟社会支持呈正相关(P＜0. 001)。创伤后成长与领悟社会支持及其各维度呈正相关(P＜0. 001)。多元线性回归分析中, 进入模型的变量均有统计学意义, 解释约23%的创伤后成长变异。结论 炎症性肠病患者创伤后成长与反刍性沉思、领悟社会支持各维度存在相关性。反刍性沉思与领悟社会支持对提升炎症性肠病的患者创伤后成长有积极作用, 从而促进其心理健康和身心发展。)
