Survey Data on Post-Traumatic Stress in 172 Breast Cancer Survivors

172 post-operative breast cancer patients completed measures for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), resilience, perceived social support, self-efficacy, fear of progression, body image disturbance, and shared decision-making. The data was collected by Yifan Gong in a cross-sectional study and last updated on 2026-04 13. The prevalence of PTSS in the sample was 89.5%.

Use Cases

• Identify sufficient combinations of psychological factors for high post-traumatic stress based on fsQCA results.
• Analyze the mediating role of fear of progression between body image disturbance and post-traumatic stress.
• Investigate the relationship between shared decision-making and psychological resource depletion.
• Model the 'loss spiral' concept from Conservation of Resources theory using survey variables.

Strengths

• Data from 172 participants provides a basis for configurational analysis.
• Includes seven specific psychological constructs measured with validated instruments.
• Clear findings on core conditions (high body image disturbance and high fear of progression) are reported.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 16.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
