Path analysis of the influence of social support and ruminant meditation on post-traumatic growth of pulmonary tuberculosis patients / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the path and relationship between social support and ruminant meditation of tuberculosis patients on their post-traumatic growth (PTG).Methods:A total of 156 patients treated from January 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects. The social support rating scale, event-related ruminant meditation questionnaire, and post-traumatic growth rating scale were used for investigation and analysis, and 150 valid questionnaires were obtained. The path analysis method was used to analyze the mutual influence between people.Results:The patient ′s post-traumatic growth, social support and ruminant meditation scores were (62.71±12.28), (38.19±9.79) and (27.28±11.18) points, respectively; social support and purposeful ruminant meditation directly affected tuberculosis patient's PTG (effect value was 0.57); social support indirectly positively affected the patient's PTG through purposeful ruminant meditation (indirect value was 0.77), and purposeful ruminant meditation was the mediating variable. Conclusion:The PTG, ruminant contemplation level and social support of pulmonary tuberculosis patients need to be improved. Social support can directly and indirectly affect the PTG level of pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
