Heterogeneity in benefit finding among breast cancer patients: a latent profile analysis and influencing factors

Key Points

Benefit finding increases psychological resilience among breast cancer patients, helping them cope better with their diagnosis.
The study highlights the effectiveness of the xgboost classifier in accurately identifying patients with low benefit finding rates.
Observational analysis applied social cognitive theory, assessing multiple factors influencing benefit finding in patients' lives.
These findings imply that tailored interventions may significantly enhance psychological outcomes in breast cancer care.

Abstract

This study applied social cognitive theory to examine factors affecting benefit finding in breast cancer patients, focusing on environmental, individual, and behavioral domains. Results showed strong performance by the XGBoost classifier. The developed nomogram aids healthcare providers in swiftly identifying patients with low benefit finding, enabling personalized interventions to mitigate adverse psychological effects and improve long-term outcomes.
