Patterns and predictors of cognitive function and post-traumatic growth in cancer patients: a latent profile analysis

Dongyan Lu
BackgroundCancer patients often face concurrent challenges of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and opportunities for post-traumatic growth (PTG), but existing research primarily adopts a variable-centered approach, failing to capture the heterogeneous co-occurrence patterns of CRCI and PTG or identify key predictors of these patterns. This study aimed to explore latent profiles of psychological adaptation and their predictive factors among cancer patients, thereby responding to the pra
