“…Cordova, Cunningham, Carlson and Andrykowski (11) began studying predictors in populations of women with breast cancer evaluating their well-being, social support, life threat perception, active verbalization about cancer and time after diagnosis. Later, other studies pursued the establishment of variables that were correlated to a greater PTG score and that explained this model (9,(12)(13)(14) . Different authors concluded that rumination, social support, the use of adaptive coping strategies and the perception of the experienced situation as actually stressing have proven to be major predictors of a greater PTG (11,14,15) .…”

Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent oncologic diagnosis given to women all around the world, and can cause diverse psychiatric symptomatologies and damage to the life of its carrier. The concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG) focuses on the perception of a positive change from the experience of a stressing situation. This study's objective was to evaluate PTG and different predictor variables for women (n=84) with breast cancer in Brazil. Method: On this exploratory study, self-report scales referring to the diagnosis period and oncologic treatment were applied individually. Results: Having a husband/partner, adaptive coping strategies and a religion of identification were found to be predictor variables in different established regressive models. Rumination did not show any correlation to PTG scores, refuting the results of previous studies. The results found in this study confirm previous research as for PTG predictors, except for rumination. Conclusions: Positive changes resulting from experiencing breast cancer are present in Brazilian women and different interventions can be thought of based on the study of predictors.[es] Crecimiento postraumático y variables predictoras en mujeres brasileñas con cáncer de mama Resumen: Objetivo: El cáncer de mama es el diagnóstico oncológico más frecuente que se da a las mujeres en todo el mundo, y puede causar diversas sintomatologías psiquiátricas y daños a la vida de su portador.

“…A recent term for the positive psychological changes individuals experience following stressful events, coined by Tedeschi and Calhoun, is posttraumatic growth (PTG). Posttraumatic growth is defined as “the experience of positive change that occurs as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life crises.” Evidence suggests that PTG is relatively common among women with breast cancer and exhibits an increasing tendency among early‐stage breast cancer survivors over a 6‐month period . Posttraumatic growth has many related factors, such as age, education, economic status, treatment, social support, and support from significant others …”

“…In addition, it was still positively correlated with optimism (24) . Women who reported having a religion had higher scores than those who did not report (25,28) . Samples that reported worse health presented lower PTG scores compared to women with fewer side effects (26) .…”

“…On the study of Kroemeke et al (29) , social support showed no correlation with PTG, and was therefore not included on the model tested for predictor analysis. On the other hand, on the study of Tomita et al (28) the variable only affected the factor relating to others, being important especially when coming from one's spouse.…”

Objective: Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) is a perceived positive change after a stressful situation. Studies describe different predictors of PTG. The purpose of this study was to (1) review the evidence that rumination and social support are predictors of PTG; (2) analyze the results of the screened studies. Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching for articles with quantitative or mixed methods that evaluated PTG using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, rumination and/or social support in women with breast cancer. Results: Were identified twelve articles that corresponded to the inclusion criteria. All of them reported some degree of PTG in their samples. Rumination was evaluated in three studies, social support was evaluated in ten, and both were considered to have a positive correlation with PTG. Conclusions: This review concludes that rumination and social support are predictors of PTG in women with breast cancer. These results contribute to the development of new interventions in mental health.[es] Ruminación y apoyo social como predictores del crecimiento postraumático en mujeres con cáncer de mama: una revisión sistemática Resumen: Objetivo: el crecimiento postraumático (CPT) es un cambio positivo percibido después de una situación estresante.

El propósito de este estudio fue (1) revisar la evidencia de que la rumiación y el apoyo social son predictores del CPT;(2) analizar los resultados de los estudios seleccionados. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática mediante la búsqueda de artículos con métodos cuantitativos o mixtos que evaluaron CPT por médio del Inventario de Crecimiento Postraumático, rumiación y/o apoyo social en mujeres con cáncer de mama. Reesultados: Se identificaron doce artículos concernientes a los criterios de inclusión. Todos informaron algún grado de CPT en sus muestras. La rumiación se evaluó en tres estudios, el apoyo 1 Carolina Villanova Quiroga -Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul.
