The literature concerning the impact of having cancer during adolescence and emerging adulthood has been widely discussed in relation to the unique nature of psychosocial challenges. The current study presents these findings within the context of developmental literature to further our understanding on how their developmental transitioning can be affected by having cancer. Specifically, two developmental milestones considered to be the pre-requisites for acquiring an adult status were focused on: forming identity and establishing independence. Several traditions of developmental literature were incorporated, including the psychosocial, sociological and psychoanalytical perspectives. The study discusses challenges to these developmental processes and suggests measures to foster young people's normative development.
关于青少年和刚成年时患癌症所产生的影响的文献，已围绕心理社会挑战的独特性质展开了广泛讨论。本研究在发展心理学文献的背景下呈现这些发现，以进一步加深我们对患癌症如何影响他们发展过渡的理解。具体而言，重点关注了被视为获得成人身份先决条件的两个发展里程碑：形成身份认同和确立独立性。本研究纳入了发展心理学文献的几种传统观点，包括心理社会、社会学和精神分析视角。该研究讨论了这些发展过程中面临的挑战，并提出了促进年轻人正常发展的措施。
