Summary/Abstract: Breast cancer is a serious threat to people’s health. In addition to negative psychological disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms, positive changes such as post-traumatic growth (PTG) can be experienced. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the variables related to PTG in people with breast cancer. As a result of reviewing five databases with key words, it was seen that there were various findings linked to the relationship between the variables relating to demographics and the illness and PTG. Furthermore, the stress level of breast cancer, various personality characteristics such as spirituality, cognitive processing including ruminative thinking, adaptive coping strategies such as positive reframing and acceptance, and social support were remarked as the variables related to PTG in people with breast cancer. This review pointed out the significant variables for interventions that can be applied to increase positive changes in people with breast cancer.
