：Objective To investigate the post traumatic growth of patients with surgical treatment for oral cancer, and to analyze its influencing factors. Methods 〓Totally 110 patients were selected as the research subjects at the first return visit after surgical treatment for oral cancer. A questionnaire-based investigation was conducted by using Simplified Chinese Version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory(C-PTGI), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire( MCMQ), Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS). Results 〓There were significant differences in total score of C-PTGI between patients having children or not, with different employment status, complicating disease or not, with different stages of tumor, with different surgical types and postoperative duration(P0.05). The total score of C-PTGI was(50.02±9.79)and the averaged score of divided items was(2.94±0.58), which was at the medium level. The score of C-PTGI was positively correlated with total score of MCMQ(r=0.828,P0.01), the score of facing dimension(r=0.832,P0.01), the score of avoiding dimension(r=0.947,P0.01), and was negatively correlated with score of yielding dimension(r=-0.935,P0.01). The score of C-PTGI was positively correlated with total score of PSSS(r=0.814,P0.01). The multiple linear regression showed that the post traumatic growth of patients were influence by surgical type one(tumor resection and cervical lymph node dissection), surgical type 2(reconstruction), avoiding, family supports, other supports, yielding and influence of friends(F=164.108,P0.01). Conclusion 〓Findings showed a medium post traumatic growth level of patients. Patients taking coping-avoiding behavior and receiving supports of family members, friends, colleague and medical workers have a higher level of post traumatic growth. Patients with complicated surgical type and taking coping-yielding behavior have a lower level of post traumatic growth. Corresponding interventions and supports are required to guide patients to take active coping styles, which in turn improves the post traumatic growth of patients.
