BACKGROUND
Cancer is one of the major health problems across the world that poses a great threat to human health and active life in all age groups, causing numerous personal, familial, and social damages in physical, mental and spiritual dimensions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of positive psychotherapy on happiness, character strengths, pleasure, commitment, and semantic measures in the lives of people with cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Within the framework of a quasi-experimental design, 58 patients suffering from cancer meeting the inclusion criteria (disease history and married) were selected via purposeful sampling method. However, only 30 of the patients met the required criteria to participate in all psychotherapy sessions. The participants were then randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups (15 participants per group). The intervention group received eight 120-min sessions of positive psychotherapy on a weekly basis while the control group was put on the waiting list. Data collection tools included the Oxford Happiness-Depression Questionnaire and Values in Action-Inventory of Strengths. The participants completed the questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted by analysis of covariance.
RESULTS
The results of covariance analysis suggested that the use of positive psychotherapy has been effective on increasing happiness ( = 0.129, = 0.005), increasing character strength ( = 27.55, = 0.001), increasing the semantic measures ( = 15.23, = 0.002), increasing pleasure ( = 8.51, = 0.005), and commitment ( = 64.19, = 0.001) among patients with cancer.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of the present study indicated that positive psychotherapy has been effective on happiness, strengths, pleasure, commitment, and semantic measures of the life among people with cancer. Positive psychotherapy can be used to minimize the effects of cancer on patients.
背景
癌症是全球主要的健康问题之一，对各年龄组人群的健康和积极生活构成巨大威胁，在身体、心理和精神层面造成诸多个人、家庭和社会损害。本研究旨在探讨积极心理治疗对癌症患者生活中的幸福感、性格优势、愉悦感、投入度和语义测量的影响。
材料与方法
在准实验设计框架内，通过立意抽样法选取58名符合纳入标准（有疾病史且已婚）的癌症患者。然而，只有30名患者符合参加所有心理治疗课程的要求标准。然后将参与者随机分为两个干预组和对照组（每组15名参与者）。干预组每周接受8次每次120分钟的积极心理治疗，而对照组则被列入等待名单。数据收集工具包括牛津幸福 - 抑郁问卷和《行动价值观 - 优势量表》。参与者在干预前后完成问卷。采用协方差分析进行数据分析。
结果
协方差分析结果表明，积极心理治疗在提高癌症患者的幸福感（F = 0.129，P = 0.005）、增强性格优势（F = 27.55，P = 0.001）、提高语义测量（F = 15.23，P = 0.002）、增加愉悦感（F = 8.51，P = 0.005）和投入度（F = 64.19，P = 0.001）方面具有显著效果。
结论
本研究结果表明，积极心理治疗对癌症患者生活中的幸福感、优势、愉悦感、投入度和语义测量具有显著效果。积极心理治疗可用于将癌症对患者的影响降至最低。
