Cancer, a life-threatening chronic disease, is the leading cause of death in Korea, accounting for 27% of all deaths in 2020. Due to advancements in medical technology and early detection of cancer in Korea, the 5-year relative survival rate reached 70.7% (2015-2019), highlighting remarkable progress over the past decades. Although cancer has been seen as a traumatic event, cancer survivors also go through a subjective process of self-maturation, which is called post-traumatic growth (PTG). Because research on PTG among Korean cancer survivors has not been systematically synthesised, a scoping review on this topic will provide a better understanding of the positive psychological changes that occur as a patient moves through the illness trajectory of cancer from a Korean cultural perspective. The purpose of this study was to describe the protocol of a scoping review regarding PTG in Korean cancer survivors.
The scoping review framework suggested by Arksey and O'Malley and the manual refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute for scoping reviews will be used with the six framework guidelines developed by Levac . Searched databases will include Ovid-MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and PsycInfo, as well as Korean databases, examining all articles published between 2012 and 2023 in Korean or English on PTG in Korean cancer survivors. Extracted data will be collated, charted and summarised.
Because the scoping review methodology undertakes a secondary analysis of collected data from previous research studies, this study does not require ethical approval. The results of this scoping review will be disseminated through presentations at conferences and publication in a scientific journal.
癌症是一种危及生命的慢性疾病，是韩国的主要死亡原因，占 2020 年所有死亡人数的 27%。由于韩国在医学技术方面的进步和癌症的早期发现，5 年相对生存率达到了 70.7%（2015-2019 年），这表明在过去几十年中取得了显著进展。尽管癌症被视为一种创伤性事件，但癌症幸存者也经历了一个主观的自我成熟过程，这被称为创伤后成长（PTG）。由于韩国癌症幸存者的 PTG 研究尚未得到系统综合，因此从韩国文化角度对这一主题进行综述将更好地了解患者在癌症疾病轨迹中从创伤中恢复的积极心理变化。本研究的目的是描述一项关于韩国癌症幸存者 PTG 的综述方案。
将使用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 提出的综述框架以及 Joanna Briggs 研究所为综述制定的手册，并结合 Levac 制定的 6 项框架指南 ，对数据库进行检索，包括 Ovid-MEDLINE、PubMed、Embase、CINAHL、Cochrane Library 和 PsycInfo，以及韩国数据库，检索 2012 年至 2023 年期间以韩语或英语发表的关于韩国癌症幸存者 PTG 的所有文章。提取的数据将进行整理、图表和总结。
由于综述方法对以前研究收集的数据进行二次分析，因此本研究无需伦理批准。本综述的结果将通过会议演示和在科学期刊上发表来传播。
