To examine colorectal cancer survivors' positive psychology and symptom characteristics, and to assess for potential impact of prior trauma on these relationships during acute cancer survivorship.
SAMPLE & SETTING: A cross-sectional study of 117 colorectal cancer survivors was conducted at a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.
METHODS & VARIABLES: Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, and the Carver Benefit Finding Scale and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory assessed positive psychology. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
49 symptoms were reported and varied based on prior trauma. Significance was found between positive psychology and symptom frequency (p < 0.001); symptoms reported almost daily and daily were inversely related to positive psychology.
Nurses should prioritize symptoms; less frequent symptoms improve positive psychology. Early identification of positive changes may promote survivors' self-awareness and management skills to mitigate adverse symptoms.
探讨结直肠癌幸存者的积极心理和症状特征,并评估既往创伤对癌症急性幸存者期间这些关系的潜在影响。
在一家美国国立癌症研究所指定的癌症中心进行了一项 117 例结直肠癌幸存者的横断面研究。
参与者完成了一份人口统计学问卷,以及 Carver 益处发现量表和创伤后成长量表评估了积极心理学。进行了描述性统计和多元线性回归分析。
报告了 49 种症状,且根据既往创伤而有所不同。积极心理学与症状频率之间存在显著相关性(p<0.001);几乎每天和每天报告的症状与积极心理学呈负相关。
护士应优先考虑症状;较少出现的症状会改善积极心理。早期识别积极变化可能会促进幸存者的自我意识和管理技能,以减轻不良症状。
