dc.description.abstractAim: Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is described as the positive psychological changes after struggling with highly challenging life circumstances. This study aimed to evaluate PTG in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who were characterised with posture and joint motion disorders. The clinical and social factors that play a role in the development of PTG were also investigated. Materials and methods: Eighty AS patients aged 18 to 65 years were included in the study. Disease activity was evaluated by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), functional status by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and spinal mobility by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI). For the evaluation of the positive psychological changes posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) was used, as multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) and ways of coping inventory were respectively used to assess social support and coping strategies. Results: The population consists of 58 male and 22 female subjects. The mean total scores of PTG, total social support and coping inventory were 67.90 ± 18.96, 66.42 ± 14.52 and 96.97 ± 10.43, respectively. The total PTG scores were significantly higher in women than in men (p=0.016). BASDAI and BASFI were negatively correlated with PTG, whereas ways of coping and social support were positively correlated with PTG (p=0.001, r=0.352; p=0.044, r=0.226). Conclusion: Social support and ways of coping have a positive effect, whereas disease severity and poor functional index have a negative effection the development of PTG.en_US
