Correlated factors of posttraumatic growth in patients with colorectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify and synthesize the factors correlated with posttraumatic growth (PTG) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) and SinoMed were searched for studies that reported data on the correlated factors associated with PTG in patients with CRC from inception to September 3, 2024. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed via the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) methodology checklist and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) was utilized to indicate effect size. Meta-analysis was conducted in R Studio. Thirty-one eligible studies encompassing 6,400 participants were included in this review. Correlated factors were identified to be significantly associated with PTG in patients with CRC including demographic factors: residential area ( r = 0.13), marital status ( r = 0.10), employment status ( r = 0.18), education level ( r = 0.19), income level ( r = 0.16); disease-related factors: time since surgery ( r = 0.17), stoma-related complications ( r = 0.14), health-promoting behavior ( r = 0.46), and sexual function ( r = 0.17); psychosocial factors: confrontation coping ( r = 0.68), avoidance coping ( r = −0.65), deliberate rumination ( r = 0.56), social support ( r = 0.47), family function ( r = 0.50), resilience ( r = 0.53), self-efficacy ( r = 0.91), self-compassion ( r = −0.32), psychosocial adjustment ( r = 0.39), gratitude ( r = 0.45), stigma ( r = −0.65), self-perceived burden ( r = −0.31), fear of cancer recurrence ( r = −0.45); and quality of life ( r = 0.32). This meta-analysis identified 23 factors associated with PTG in CRC patients. Medical workers can combine those relevant factors from the perspective of positive psychology, further explore the occurrence and development mechanism of PTG, and establish targeted interventions to promote PTG.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
