dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on the dualism of the trauma surrounding a breast cancer diagnosis. The researchers explore the possibility that beyond psychological distress, survivors of breast cancer achieve growth in the five domains of change as described by Tedeschi and Calhoun; changes in relationships with others, increased personal strength, the realization of new possibilities, appreciation of life, and spiritual changes, (2004). By employing the posttraumatic growth inventory, the researchers were able to assess whether growth was achieved across each of the domains. Interviews and discussions offered personal statements that describe the changes, which as theorized by Tedeschi and Calhoun are “deeply personal” (2004). The findings from breast cancer survivors in Nairobi collaborate the theories and findings of many researchers as indicated in the literature review, that trauma can result in personal growth and development. Further, the researchers conclude and post recommendations on the findings that posttraumatic growth can be fostered by the psychosocial factors of optimism, social support, and redefining self.
