(1) Background: Although the research on benefit finding (BF) in China has increased in recent years, it remains in its infancy. Few previous studies have focused on early-stage cancer patients. Therefore, this research study aimed to explore BF and its influencing factors for early-stage cancer patients in China. (2) Methods: From April to August 2019, 319 patients with early-stage cancer in the treatment period were selected by the convenience sampling method and evaluated using the Benefit Finding of Cancer Patients Scale-Chinese (BFS-C), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). (3) Results: The mean BF score was 47.57 (SD = 12.26). The results of the correlation analysis show that benefit finding was positively correlated with social support, but negatively correlated with acceptance-resignation. In addition, social support was negatively correlated with avoidance and acceptance-resignation. The results of the multiple linear regression indicate that the variables of self-assessment of disease severity, exercise time, coping mode (acceptance-resignation), and social support, affect BF. Finally, social support was shown to exert an intermediary effect on acceptance-resignation and BF. (4) Conclusions: In this study, the score of BF of patients with early-stage cancer was low. Medical staff should be more aware of the health behavior of patients with early-stage cancer, guide them to actively face the disease, and fully mobilize the social support of patients' friends and family, so as to help patients increase their disease BF.
（1）背景：尽管近年来中国对获益发现（BF）的研究有所增加，但仍处于起步阶段。以前的研究很少关注早期癌症患者。因此，本研究旨在探讨中国早期癌症患者的 BF 及其影响因素。（2）方法：2019 年 4 月至 8 月，采用便利抽样法选取 319 例处于治疗期的早期癌症患者，采用癌症患者获益发现量表-中文版（BFS-C）、领悟社会支持量表（PSSS）和医学应对方式问卷（MCMQ）进行评估。（3）结果：BF 的平均得分为 47.57（SD=12.26）。相关分析结果表明，获益发现与社会支持呈正相关，与接受-顺其自然呈负相关。此外，社会支持与回避和接受-顺其自然呈负相关。多元线性回归结果表明，疾病严重程度自评、锻炼时间、应对方式（接受-顺其自然）和社会支持等变量影响 BF。最后，社会支持对接受-顺其自然和 BF 具有中介作用。（4）结论：本研究中早期癌症患者的 BF 得分较低。医务人员应更加关注早期癌症患者的健康行为，引导他们积极面对疾病，充分调动患者朋友和家人的社会支持，帮助患者增加疾病 BF。
