Predictors of posttraumatic growth following bone marrow transplantation for cancer

Article Abstract:

The study sought to identify predictors of posttraumatic growth among cancer patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. The findings reported raise the possibility that greater experience of posttraumatic growth is related to perceptions of change that are attributable to derogation of past psychological status rather than actual change in psychological status.
