Abstract：Objective:To probe into the relationship among ruminant meditation,social support and posttraumatic growth in patients with breast cancer.Method: A total of 295 patients with breast cancer were investigated with a cross-sectional study by using general situation questionnaire,the attention bias scale,the resilience scale and the posttraumatic growth scale.Results:The total score of posttraumatic growth in breast cancer patients was (65.50±12.28), total social support score was (58.47±7.23),rumination score was (30.40±8.25).Social support was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r=0.491,P<0.01).The purpose of rumination meditation was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r=0.375,P<0.01).Structural equation modeling showed that social support had a direct predictive effect on posttraumatic growth in breast cancer patients (P<0.01).Social support had a direct predictive effect for purpose of meditation (P<0.01).The mediating effect of the thought meditation affected the post-traumatic growth,and the mediating efficacy accounted for 19.1% of the total efficacy.Conclusions:Rumination meditation could play a mediation role between posttraumatic growth and social support of patients with breast cancer.Medical care could improve the level of ruminant meditation patients,cause patients to gain more posttraumatic growth.
