  • Title: The relationship of coping strategies, social support, and attachment style with posttraumatic growth in cancer survivors.
    Author: Schmidt SD, Blank TO, Bellizzi KM, Park CL.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2012 Oct; 17(7):1033-40. PubMed ID: 22253327.
    Abstract:
    This cross-sectional study investigated attachment style, coping strategies, social support, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in 54 cancer survivors. Secure attachment was significantly associated with active coping, positive reframing, and religion, and these were all associated with PTG. Insecure types of attachment and social support variables were unrelated to PTG. Regression analysis suggests that positive reframing and religion as coping strategies may mediate the relationship between secure attachment and PTG.
