“…In fact, the examination of core beliefs and deliberate rumination are recognized as elements crucial to the manifestation of PTG, as confirmed by a previous item-level analysis of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) items (Taku and Oshio, 2015). Deliberate rumination has been shown to be positively correlated with PTG, a finding supported by other empirical studies (Stockton et al, 2011; Dong et al, 2015; Su and Chen, 2015), in addition to being more strongly associated with PTG than intrusive rumination (Morris and Shakespeare-Finch, 2011; Lindstrom et al, 2013; Zhou et al, 2015).…”

“…According to the theoretical model of PTG (Tedeschi and Calhoun, 1996, 2004), it is to be expected that, after the disruption of one’s core beliefs when confronting breast cancer, women will begin to engage in constructive, positive, and deliberate thinking in an attempt to attribute meaning to this traumatic experience. Previous studies have demonstrated that deliberate rumination is positively associated with the development of PTG and that is a strong predictor of PTG (Morris and Shakespeare-Finch, 2011; Triplett et al, 2012; Lindstrom et al, 2013; Dong et al, 2015; Zhou et al, 2015). In fact, deliberate rumination, and not intrusive rumination, is the variable that directly causes PTG (Stockton et al, 2011).…”

“…However, the results found in the literature showed some disparities regarding the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG. In some studies, intrusive rumination was not significantly associated with PTG (Triplett et al, 2012; Dong et al, 2015), while another study found the existence of a negative relationship between them (Zhang et al, 2013).…”

Background: Previous studies have found that rumination and challenge to core beliefs may have a predictive effect on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) among different samples. In addition, there is some evidence that these variables have different effects on PTSD and PTG, although the latter construct has been the target of a larger body of research and theoretical models. The main objective of the current study is to examine the effect of challenge to core beliefs, intrusive rumination, and deliberate rumination on PTSD and PTG, through an item-level analyses.Methods: The sample was composed of 205 Portuguese women who had been given a breast cancer diagnosis (M = 54.32, SD = 10.05), and who completed the following self-administered questionnaires: the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-C); the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI); the Core Beliefs Inventory; and the Event Related Rumination Inventory. Two multivariate multiple regression analyses, using each item of the PCL-C and the PTGI as dependent variables, were conducted.Results: The results demonstrated that challenges to core beliefs predict 17 of the 21 PTGI items and 12 of the 17 PCL-C items. All but one item of the PCL-C are predicted by intrusive rumination, while the variance of only 4 items of the PTGI are explained by deliberate rumination.Conclusion: These findings indicate that women with breast cancer who tend to display higher levels of intrusive rumination are more likely to report PTSD symptoms, and that an examination of one’s core beliefs is predictor of both positive and negative outcomes. In spite of the proven effect of challenge to core beliefs on both variables, this study suggests that this effect has only a minor influence on PTSD, in addition to confirming its major impact on PTG.

“…Este estudio, al reconocer las probables vías que siguen los distintos procesos de rumiación y que potencialmente conducen a spt o cpt, además de observar el rol mediador de las rumiaciones deliberada e intrusiva para estos dos tipos de con-secuencia, permitirá desarrollar estrategias que ayuden a la elaboración cognitiva de las intrusiones luego del primer momento tras el trauma o que fomenten formas de pensamiento más deliberadas, estrategias que requieren ser evaluadas a través de diseños experimentales. Así mismo, este estudio contribuye a la comprensión de la consecuencia que genera la transición desde formas intrusivas de pensamiento hacia formas más controladas y constructivas, aun cuando este estudio no entrega una respuesta respecto a qué variables contribuyen a que se produzca esa transición, pudiendo ser la oportunidad de conectarse con redes sociales de apoyo, como señalan Tedeschi y Calhoun (2004), u otros procesos que requieren ser incorporados a modelos más complejos, como la autorregulación emocional (Curci, Soleti, Lanciano, Doria & Rimé, 2015), la autorrevelación (Dong, Gong, Jiang, Deng & Liu, 2015) o los niveles de religiosidad-espiritualidad (Bray, 2013), entre otros.…”

El presente estudio analizó la influencia de distintos tipos de rumiación (negativa, reflexiva, intrusiva y deliberada) y de la severidad subjetiva del evento sobre el crecimiento postraumático (CPT) y la sintomatología postraumática (STP) en personas que experimentaron un evento altamente estresante. Participaron 629 personas, mayores de 18 años (51% hombres), habitantes de la provincia de Concepción, Chile. A través de un Análisis de Sendero se evaluó un modelo hipotético que mostraba que la rumiación reflexiva y deliberada influían sobre el CPT, que la rumiación negativa e intrusiva influían sobre la SPT, que la rumiación deliberada mediaba entre las otras formas de rumiación y la severidad subjetiva con el CPT y que la rumiación intrusiva mediaba la relación entre la severidad subjetiva y la rumiación negativa con la SPT. Los índices de ajuste del modelo fueron satisfactorios. Un análisis multigrupo mostró que no había diferencias en el modelo entre hombres y mujeres. Se discute la relevancia de estos hallazgos para la predicción de consecuencias tras un evento altamente estresante, así como su relación con la prevención e intervención psicológica en personas expuestas.

“…Cognitive processing, and more specifically rumination, is a crucial process of the posttrauma individual adaptation . Rumination encompasses 2 broad types of repetitive thinking: (1) intrusive rumination is not perceived by the trauma survivor as being under control, and is more likely to be related to posttraumatic distress; (2) deliberate rumination represents an attempt to understand the implications of a traumatic event and to restore or revise the set of core beliefs in the aftermath of trauma, which can result in PTG .…”

Objective: This longitudinal study tested the effectiveness of a group intervention designed to facilitate posttraumatic growth (PTG).Methods: Sample consisted of 205 women diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer who were either assigned to an intervention group (n = 58) or to a control group (n = 147). PTG, challenge to core beliefs, and rumination (intrusive and deliberate) were assessed at baseline (T1), at 6 months (T2), and at 12 months after baseline (T3). Results:Results from the Latent Growth Modeling suggested that participants from the intervention group have higher levels of PTG. The challenge to core beliefs and the intrusive rumination have a moderator role on PTG, since group intervention is also linked to the enhancement of both variables.Conclusions: Participation in the intervention group increase PTG. Challenge to core beliefs and intrusive rumination are improved by group intervention, which to a certain extent facilitate PTG. KEYWORDSbreast cancer, cancer, challenge to core beliefs, group intervention, oncology, posttraumatic growth, rumination 1 | BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, 1 and it is recognized as a stressful life event as it is considered a threat to one 0 s life and well-being. Several negative psychological reactions such as anxiety, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 2 may arise during the disease process.Despite the fact that these features have been well documented in the literature, a growing body of evidence suggests that adverse life circumstances such as cancer can also encourage positive outcomes. 3 The perceived positive changes resulting from personal coping efforts with traumatic events are described as PTG. 4,5 Research confirmed that women with a diagnosis of breast cancer reported personal growth in the aftermath of a life-threatening cancer experience. In addition, PTG has been consistently documented within 5 years of a breast cancer diagnosis. 3,6,7 In fact, it is the seismic nature and perceived stressfulness of the event that threat the individual 0 s core belief system, which in turn sets in motion the restructuring of one 0 s life. 8 Core beliefs are the "general set of beliefs a person has about the universe, how it works, and the individual 0 s place in it" 9(p16) . In the aftermath of a stressful event, core beliefs might be challenged, and the previous foundations of a person 0 s assumptive world become unstable, uncontrollable, and unpredictable. 9 In order to manage distress (also created by challenge to core beliefs) and reappraise the pretrauma cognitive schemas, the survivor initiates various cognitive mechanisms such as using coping strategies, seeking social support, and engaging in cognitive processing (intrusive and deliberate thinking), in an attempt to give meaning to the stressful experience. 10,11 Cognitive processing, and more specifically rumination, is a crucial process of the posttrauma individual adaptation. 12 Rumination encompasses 2 ...
