Spiritual coping, perceived growth, and the moderating role of spiritual mindfulness in cancer survivors
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: This study examined the moderating role of spiritual mindfulness on the association between spiritual coping and perceived growth in individuals with and without current treatment for cancer. DESIGN/SAMPLE: Adults with a cancer history (N = 534) from the Midlife in the United States study completed a telephone interview and self-administered questionnaires. METHODS/FINDINGS: Moderated regression analyses, controlled for age and educational attainment, showed that mindfulness moderated the effect of spiritual coping on personal growth and on positive reinterpretation. High mindfulness amplified the effect of spiritual coping on both personal growth and positive reinterpretation. Further, this moderating effect was significantly different for adults with versus without current treatment for cancer for positive reinterpretation but not for personal growth. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: These findings highlight the potential amplifying effect of spiritual mindfulness on the effect of spiritual coping on perceived growth in cancer survivors.

Trait mindfulness and spiritual wellbeing may act synergistically to facilitate posttraumatic growth after a cancer diagnosis.
“For example, trait mindfulness and spiritual wellbeing may act synergistically to facilitate posttraumatic growth following a cancer diagnosis (Rudaz et al., 2018).”

The Abstract’s Methods/Findings and the Discussion report that spiritual mindfulness amplified the association between spiritual coping and perceived personal growth in cancer survivors. But the Method’s measures show that the study assessed spiritual coping and spirituality-related mindfulness, not spiritual well-being and general trait mindfulness; it also measured perceived personal growth rather than posttraumatic growth specifically.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
