Mediating effect of rumination between post-traumatic growth and perceived social support in patients with accidental trauma
Objective To analyze the mediating effect of rumination between post-traumatic growth(PTG)and perceived social support in patients with accidental trauma.Methods The general information questionnaire,the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory(PTGI),the Event Related Rumination Inventory(ERRI)and the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS)were used to investigate 208 hospitalized patients with accidental trauma in the orthopedics department of three tertiary general hospitals in Xi'an.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between PTG and rumination and perceived social support.Results The total score and each dimension scores of PTGI in patients with accidental trauma were positively correlated with the total score and each dimension scores of PSSS(P<0.01);the total score and each dimension scores of PTGI were positively correlated with the total score of ERRI and the score of purposeful rumination(P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the score of intrusive rumination(P<0.05).Rumination played a partial mediating role between perceived social support and PTG in patients with accidental trauma,and the mediating effect accounts for 89.55%.Conclusion Rumination plays a partial mediating role between perceived social support and PTG in patients with accidental trauma.Medical staff should pay attention to and guide the smooth transition of patients'rumination,so as to promote the growth of patients after injury.
