“…The studies available have indicated an ambiguous relationship between the mentioned variables. The predictive role of deliberate rumination in positive posttraumatic changes has been demonstrated among oncological patients [25] as well as parents caring for children with cancer [26]. Studies involving paramedics [27] have revealed that intrusive ruminations were predictors of PTSD.…”

Purpose: The study aimed was to establish in what extend in soldiers participating in military missions occur the negative and positive effects of trauma exposition and what is the role of rumination. Methods: The results of 60 soldiers who experienced traumatic events during the mission were analyzed. The age of the participants ranged from 26 to 46 years (M = 33.17, SD = 4.84). The following Polish versions of standardized tools were used: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire-K-PTSD, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-PTG and the Event Related Rumination Inventory-ERRI, measuring two types of ruminations: intrusive and deliberate. Results: Ten percent of respondents revealed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the remaining 90%-symptoms of its syndrome. The level of posttraumatic growth (PTG) is low. Both types of ruminations, ie. intrusive and deliberate proved to be positively associated with PTSD, wherein the predictive role play largely intrusive ruminations. Deliberate ruminations correlate with posttraumatic growth. They also proved to be predictors of the three areas of PTG, i.e. changes in self-perception, relations with others and appreciating of life. Conclusions: Ruminations favor the occurrence both negative and positive consequences of experienced traumatic events.

“…Among the determinants of negative and positive consequences of trauma, cognitive activity including rumination, is particularly important [21][22]. There are international studies addressing the problem of post-traumatic development among cancer survivors that have shown a positive influence of reflexing rumination of a constructive nature [22][23][24][25][26]. This relationship has also bben shown in Polish studies among parents struggling with cancer of a child [27].…”

Introduction. Gynecologic cancers are associated with numerous ailments affecting the cognitive, emotional and behavioral outcomes for the ill women. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of selected sociodemographic and medical variables on stress levels and to describe the predictors of stress intensity among women with diagnosed gynecologic cancer. Material and methods. The study was conducted from January 2015 to April 2016 in a group of 102 women hospitalized in gynecologic oncology wards in hospitals located in Olsztyn district. The own-designed questionnaire, the Scale of Perceived Stress-PSS-10 and the Multidimensional Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress-Mini-COPE were used to carry out the study. Results. In 65.7% of investigated women with gynecologic cancer the intensity of the experienced stress was defined as high, in 23.5% as average, and in one in ten women showed low scores (10.8%), indicating the low severity of the stress experienced. The largest share of predictors (16%) of stress intensity in women patients is provided by a cessation strategy that is related to helplessness and abandonment of effort. Conclusions. Women with gynecological cancers were experiencing high levels of stress. Most of them feel helpless and abandoned in their illness. They have a potential to apply emotional strategies, including problem-focused strategies to deal with this condition. This study strongly supports a need for psychological counselling and care in gynecologic cancer patients.

background Personality and cognitive engagement, including eventrelated rumination, play essential roles in the negative and positive outcomes of experienced trauma. The aim of the study was to establish the role of personality traits and rumination in the occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and posttraumatic growth (PTG). participants and procedureSixty persons, aged 18-78 years (M = 50.40, SD = 17.74), who had experienced malignant tumours in the craniofacial area, i.e. the lips, palate, parotid gland, eye, nasopharynx, nasal cavity, middle ear and paranasal sinuses, were examined. The majority of respondents (68.30%) were women. The subjects were surveyed with the Impact of Event Scale-R (IES-R), the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the NEO-Five Factor Personality (NEO-FFI), and the Event Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI). resultsBoth PTSD symptoms and PTG were observed in the examined group. Almost 77.00% of participants demonstrated at least a medium degree of PTSD. Twenty three percent of subjects revealed a high level of PTG. Both intrusive and deliberate ruminations were related to the presence of PTSD symptoms and PTG. No direct relationship was found between personality dimensions and the negative and positive outcomes of trauma. Neuroticism, which is related to intrusive rumination, affects PTSD symptoms. Conscientiousness, which is related to deliberate ruminations, affects posttraumatic growth. conclusionsPersonality has an indirect impact on the negative and positive consequences of trauma via rumination over the experienced event.key words personality; cancer; rumination; posttraumatic growth; posttraumatic stress disordersThe negative and positive effects of trauma resulting from cancer -the role of personality and rumination corresponding author -Prof. Nina
