Relevant information of the study participants was obtained using online questionnaires, covering five aspects\u2014general information, physical state, emotional state, PTSD, and PTG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In Wuhan, 37.3% of COVID-19-diagnosed hospitalized patients exhibited hyper-arousal symptoms of PTSD. This percentage is significantly higher than the 13.1% observed in the healthy population. Furthermore, the prevalence of PTG among the same group of hospitalized patients stood at 77.5%, surpassing the 66.1% rate found within the healthy population. It was determined that inconsistent sleep patterns during the hospitalization phase could be indicative of heightened vulnerability to hyperarousal symptoms of PTSD in COVID-19-diagnosed hospitalized patients. The study determined that inconsistent sleep patterns during hospitalization may be a predisposition factor that makes hospitalized patients diagnosed with covid-19 more susceptible to high arousal symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Conversely, COVID-19-diagnosed hospitalized patients who maintained a tranquil demeanor and exhibited positive emotional perceptions during their hospitalization displayed reduced susceptibility to these PTSD symptoms. Factors such as possession of a bachelor\u2019s degree, history of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) infection, and poor sleep patterns were identified as predictors elevating the risk of PTG. Whereas, a sentiment of happiness and consistent positive emotional perception during hospitalization were predictors of PTG. Intriguingly, a direct correlation was established between hyper-arousal symptoms of PTSD and PTG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although the outbreak of COVID-19 has badly affected the physical and psychological well-being of patients, it has greatly enhanced their PTG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2024.1343264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]],"date-time":"2024-05-16T16:36:05Z","timestamp":1715877365000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A study on post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth among patients infected with COVID-19 in Wuhan"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jing-jing","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-xiao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2235","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.3286","article-title":"Post-traumatic growth among an ethnically diverse sample of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors","volume":"22","author":"Arpawong","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychooncology"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1053","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291706007501","article-title":"Cognitive reserve in neuropsychiatry","volume":"36","author":"Barnett","year":"2006","journal-title":"Psychol.
