The relationship between social support and post-traumatic growth of medical staff in the context of public health emergencies:the mediating role of purposeful rumination
Objective To explore the correlation between rumination,social support and post-traumatic growth of medical staff in the context of major public health emergencies,and the mediating effect of purpose-ful rumination between social support and post-traumatic growth.Methods From March to July 2023,a total of 423 medical staff from two tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method.The event-related rumination scale,post-traumatic growth scale and multi-di-mensional perceived social support scale were used to investigate and analyze the data.Results The invasive rumination score of the event-related rumination scale was 8.00(1.00,10.00)scores,and the purposeful rumi-nation score was 10.00(6.00,12.00)scores.The score of Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale was 72.00(60.00,74.00)scores.The post-traumatic growth scale score was 60.00(51.00,73.00)scores.Social support and purposeful rumination were positively correlated with post-traumatic growth(r=0.393,0.253,P<0.05).Purposeful rumination played a partial mediating role in the process of social support affecting the post-traumatic growth of medical staff,accounting for 11.01%of the total effect.Conclusion Social support and purposeful rumination can promote post-traumatic growth and purposeful rumination has a partial media-ting effect between social support and post-traumatic growth.It can provide reference for promoting the psy-chological growth of medical staff in the context of major public health emergencies.
