BACKGROUND
People who have undergone traumatic life experiences such as cancer often report a new meaning and greater appreciation of life. These subjectively experienced positive changes are referred to as posttraumatic growth (PTG). The present study investigated correlates of PTG in cancer patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
128 cancer patients at a rehabilitation clinic in Germany completed self-report questionnaires.
RESULTS
Cognitive reappraisal of emotion, gratitude finding, and openness to experience correlated with PTG. Patients also reported different priorities in life after cancer, reflecting more present-oriented and intrinsic concerns.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings suggest that reappraising emotions and adjusting life priorities may help cancer patients to experience PTG by facilitating emotion-focused coping and reframing an apparently adverse situation as a positive experience.
背景
经历过癌症等创伤性生活事件的人常常报告称对生活有了新的意义和更深的感激之情。这些主观体验到的积极变化被称为创伤后成长（PTG）。本研究调查了癌症患者创伤后成长的相关因素。
患者与方法
德国一家康复诊所的128名癌症患者完成了自我报告问卷。
结果
情绪的认知重评、感恩发现和对体验的开放性与创伤后成长相关。患者还报告了癌症后生活中不同的优先事项，反映出更多以当下为导向和内在的关注点。
结论
我们的研究结果表明，重新评估情绪和调整生活优先事项可能有助于癌症患者通过促进以情绪为中心的应对方式，并将明显不利的情况重新构建为积极体验来经历创伤后成长。
