Objective: To study the relationship and impact of post traumatic growth and psychological distress on qualityof life among renal failure patients seeking dialysis, and to see differences in these variables among different age group patients. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Government Hospital Mardan Pakistan, fromJan to Jun 2019. Methodology: A sample of 300 renal failure Patients 18 years or older who had a diagnosis of end-stage renal disease receiving treatment within different dialysis units were approached through purposive sampling technique. Post traumatic growth inventory Quality of life scale and the Psychological distress scale were used to measure the study variables. Results: Results reveal that psychological distress has a negative correlation with post traumatic growth (r=-0.77**, p<0.01) and Quality of Life (r= -0.73**, p<.01). Whereas, Post Traumatic Growth has a strong positive correlation with Quality of Life (r=0.68*, p<0.01). Similarly, Psychological distress (β= -0.89, p<.000) and post traumatic growth (β=0.25, p<.000) significantly predict quality of life and explained 57% variance (F (2,297) = 198.4, p<0.000, R2=0.57) among the sample. Moreover, the results also show significant differences in the study variables between the two age groups (i.e., 16 to 32 years and 33 to 48 years) and it further suggest that middle age patients had higher levels of PTG as compared to younger and older patients. Conclusion: This study reveals a significant negative relationship of post traumatic growth with psychologicaldistress and a significant effect of post traumatic growth and psychological distress on the quality of life in thesample. This study also concludes that middle-age group patients had higher levels of post traumatic growth ascompared to young and old patients.

Abstract Objective Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is known to benefit individuals in recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI) as they process and reframe personal losses. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of PTG with different domains of quality of life (QOL) in individuals following TBI. Method Fifteen adults (8 M, 7 F; mean age 31; 4 yrs post moderate/severe TBI) composed a personal statement for 3 minutes. Raters identified references to TBI and PTG in patients’ writing samples. Patients completed the Neurobehavioral Functioning Inventory (NFI) to assess physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral functioning, as well as the QOL Inventory to assess importance of, and satisfaction with, various domains of personal functioning. Results of independent samples t-tests (p &lt; 0.05 and/or Cohen’s d &gt; 0.80) are reported. Results Patients scored in the average range on the NFI. Seven of the 15 patients opted to address PTG, and the same seven individuals also wrote about their TBI. Those who addressed these topics reported higher educational level and longer loss of consciousness following TBI. Demonstrating large effect sizes, results revealed individuals endorsing PTG had higher QOL in domains involving productivity and agency (work, helping, play, creativity), whereas those not endorsing PTG had higher QOL in social domains (children, neighbors, community). Total QOL and other domains (e.g., health, money, love) did not differ between groups. Conclusions Results suggest that benefits of accepting and growing as a result of one’s brain injury include active self-development and contributions to society. Neurorehabilitation should encourage productivity as a means of enhancing PTG.

Main Effects

The study investigated psychological impact of tsunami of men and women with disabilities two years after the tsunami disaster. A total of 248 tsunami affected people with disabilities aged between 16 to 85 years were included in the final sample. And the sample consisted of 132 males with the men age 37.9 years, and 116 females with the men age 40.6 years. SRQ (psychological distress), IES (post-traumatic stress), WHO- DAS (psychosocial disability functioning) and QOL (quality of life) were administered. In addition to scale administration to 248 people, formal discussions were held with 27 mentally retarded people and their guardians/parents, thus making the total sample of 275. Main effects of gender were found significant on IES i.e. post-traumatic stress and main effects of type of disability was found significant on physical QOL, psychological QOL, and post-traumatic stress. Main effects of severity of disability was found significant on all variables. t-tests have been found out to study the inter group differences. All findings have been discussed in the light of supporting studies and theories. Long-term psychosocial and psychiatric interventions are suggested to be provided till the reconstruction and rebuilding phase continues, however, the challenge still remains for the strategy of mainstreaming disabled specific designed interventions within the community based psychosocial care services framework.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the factors influencing post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients during 3 years after diagnosis. Materials and methods Our longitudinal study involved 71 medium and high-risk breast cancer patients, who received special attention and either hypnosis or music psychological intervention while receiving the same chemotherapy protocol. The influences of the interventions, as well as the demographic (age, marital status, and educational level) and psychosocial factors (coping, post-traumatic stress, and well-being), on post-traumatic growth were explored. Results The results showed that over 97% of our patients experienced post-traumatic growth. It was positively associated with Quality of Life domains 3 years after diagnosis, and with Psychological Immune Competence cumulative scores after treatment and 3 years after diagnosis. Psychological Immune Competence, emotional severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms, and the social support scale of Quality of Life explained 33.9% of the variance of post-traumatic growth. Conclusion The results confirm that positive coping strategies, emotional severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms, and social support contribute to post-traumatic growth, and that post-traumatic growth has a weak to moderate association with quality of life.
