Description
Summary:•There are three potential categories of post-traumatic growth in young and middle-aged acute myocardial infarction patients: Malgrowth group, Good growth group, Excellent growth group.•The elderly and the spouseless are high-risk groups for post-traumatic growth failure, and we should pay special attention to them.•Health care providers may consider providing targeted interventions based on different types of patients to improve patient outcomes. AMI incidence in young and middle-aged patients is increasing year by year, and such patients are prone to negative emotions after illness, which affects health outcomes. However, post-traumatic growth can bring about positive changes in the patient, which is beneficial to their recovery. This study aimed to understand the different types of post-traumatic growth characteristics and their related factors in young and middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction to help find precise intervention measures. This was a cross-sectional study. Self-reported questionnaires were used to assess general demographic characteristics, post-traumatic growth, and rumination. The mean of the five dimensions of the Post-traumatic Growth Scale was used to perform a Latent profile analysis. A total of 312 participants, including 285 male and 27 female patients, with the mean age was 51.95±5.75. Latent profile analysis results showed that three-profile model was the most suitable. Three different profiles were named: the “Malgrowth group” (45.51%), the “Good growth group” (18.91%), and the “Excellent growth group” (35.58%). The related factors included rumination, age, monthly income, whether to return to work, marital status, residential address, classification of disease, and whether to perform PCI treatment (P
