  • Abstract
    Introduction: In this study, the role of resilience, locus of control, and social health in predicting post-traumatic growth in cancer patients was investigated.   Materials and Methods: In this correlation-regression study in Mashhad-Iran, 212 patients (143 women and 69 men) with diagnosed cancer were selected using the convenient sampling method. Post-traumatic growth, resilience, locus of control, and social health questionnaires were used online. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression methods in SPSS version 26 software.   Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between resilience, locus of control, and social health with post-traumatic growth (P lt; 0.05). Also the results showed that resilience and social health are predictors of post-traumatic growth (P lt; 0.05). However, the locus of control cannot predict post-traumatic growth in cancer patients (P gt; 0.05).   Conclusion: Based on the findings, if resilience and social health are more, it can predict post-traumatic growth in cancer patients.
