dc.description.abstractThis study evaluated the sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral correlates of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, and the degree of PTG compared to other patient groups. Using a prospective design, 1497 CAD outpatients completed a survey assessing potential PTG correlates. 1268 responded to a 9-month follow-up survey assessing PTG. Significant correlates of greater PTG were being non-white, having lower income, functional status, and depressive symptoms, greater social support, and positive illness perceptions. The degree of PTG was equivalent to that of cardiac patients in other countries, but was lower than that of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis patients.en_US
