Abstract:

Objective: To explore the potential categories of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms (PTSS) in patients with gynecologic malignant tumor, and to analyze the influencing factors of different categories of PTSS. Methods: A total of 231 patients with gynecologic malignant tumors were selected from three hospitals in Lanzhou City, from April 2022 to September 2022. The questionnaires of general information, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5, Hardiness Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale and Perceived Social Support Scale were used in this study. The results of various models of PTSS patient were comprehensively judged by the latent profile analysis. The best model was determined through the "best interpretation model". The effects of various factors on the different PTSS categories were evaluated by the unordered multi-classification logistic regression. Results: PTSS in 231 patients with gynecologic malignant tumor was divided into three categories: 97 cases (42.0%) with moderate symptoms and high arousal; 98 cases (42.4%) were low symptom type; 36 cases (15.6%) with high symptoms and high avoidance. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the number of children, tenacity personality, anxiety and social support affected the potential classification of PTSS in patients with gynecological malignancies (P<0.05). Conclusions: The PTSS of patients with gynecological malignant tumor has the significant classification characteristics. Medical staff can implement psychological intervention for the different types of patients according to the influencing factors of different types of PTSS, so as to alleviate the symptoms of patients.
