As demonstrated in Figure 2 and Table 2, the random-effects model indicated a highly positive link of 0.425 (95% CI [0.342, 0.501]) between PTG and social support. The association between PTG and social support was steady, as demonstrated by the Z value of 9.166 and

Although this study has some limitations, all available evidence suggests a highly positive connection between PTG and social support among people with breast cancer. The summary Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.425. This means that people with breast cancer with high degrees of social support were more likely to have a high level of PTG. Economic level, region, and social support measurement tools adjusted the positive connection between social support and PTG, while publication type, year of publication, and participants' age did not play a role in regulating either. Whether variables such as time since diagnosis, disease stage, and disease treatment moderate the connection between PTG and social support among people with breast cancer can be further investigated in the future.
