dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to determine the relationship between post-traumatic growth and psychosocial adaptation and mental well-being in oncological gastrointestinal surgery patients. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted between April 2025 and July 2025 at the general surgery department of Turgut & Ouml;zal Medical Center with 60 oncological gastrointestinal surgery patients determined by power analysis. The data collection tools included the Demographic Characteristics Form, Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, Psychosocial Adjustment Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis. The mean total score of the Post-Traumatic Growth Scale was low (31.60 +/- 9.70), the mean total score of the Psychosocial Adjustment Scale was at a poor level (54.32 +/- 18.62), and the mean total score of the Mental Well-Being Scale indicated possible depression (19.11 +/- 5.16). A strong positive correlation was found between post-traumatic growth and psychosocial adjustment (r=0.887). A strong positive correlation was also observed between psychosocial adjustment and mental well-being (r=0.889). Furthermore, a strong positive correlation was identified between post-traumatic growth and mental well-being (r=0.986) (p<0.05). The results of the study suggest that post-traumatic growth increases psychosocial adjustment in oncological gastrointestinal surgery patients, which in turn indicates an improvement in spiritual well-being.
