N2 - Our research sought to explore post-traumatic growth experience among Chinese women with breast cancer. Constructivist grounded theory methodology was utilised to understand Chinese women’s post-traumatic growth experience. 24 women with breast cancer were recruited from China. Data was collected through semi-structured, interviews. Three categories were developed from the data: renewing self-perception, encountering changes in relationships, and altering philosophical values and beliefs. The unique manifestations of post-traumatic growth highlight the need for development and adaption of the post-traumatic growth inventory to reduce cultural biases within the assessment tool and incorporate new culturally appropriate items.
