Abstract EN

The current study aimed to identify the level of post traumatic growth (PTG) among Kidney Failure Patients, as well as to identify the relationship between (PTG), hope and psychological hardnes.

Furthermore, it sought to identify the differences between the research sample in (PTG), hope and psychological hardness according to the different sex variable (males, females) and age (from 30 to 40 years and from 40 to 60 years and older than 60 years) and marital status (married, unmarried, widowed) besides the interaction between them.

The study sample consisted of (220) patients of kidney failure patients who suffer from chronic kidney failure and who are undergoing dialysis treatment in hospitals that treat such cases.

Of them (117 males) and (103 females), of whom (43) are from 30 to 40 years old, (109) are from 40 to 60 years old, (68) are over 60 years old, and of them (109) are married, (52) unmarried, and (59) A widower, and the (PTG) scale was used by Tedeschi and Calhoun, 1996 translated by the researcher, the Hope scale by the researcher, and the Psychological Hardness Scale prepared by Isik, 2016 and translated by the researcher.

The results of the study found a moderate level of (PTG) in patients with kidney failure.

It was also found that there is a positive correlation between (PTG), hope and psychological hardness, and there were no differences in the (PTG) scale according to the variable of sex and age, and there was no significant effect of the interaction between sex and age on the (PTG) scale among the sample members of the patients with kidney failure.

While there were significant differences in (PTG) according to the marital status in favor of the married people compared to the unmarried people, and between unmarried and widowed women in favor of widows, while there were no significant differences between married men and widows.

There was no significant effect of the interaction between sex and marital status on the (PTG).

The results also suggest PTG can be predicted through hope and psychological hardness.
