“…Additionally, as a secondary objective, we investigated potential moderators that may influence the strength of the association, including sample size, age, time since diagnosis, publication type, continent, FCR and PTG measurement tools, trauma roles, and gender. These factors were selected on the basis of previous studies, and the vast majority of them are thought to modulate the relationship between PTG or FCR and associates ( Marziliano et al, 2020 ; Ning et al, 2023 ; Wan et al, 2023 ). In addition to potentially helping to explain the inconsistency of the findings, these factors have the promise of providing a basis for the proper view of FCR to promote cancer-associated PTG in the future.…”

BackgroundTheoretically, stress is positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (PTG). However, evidence for a correlation between fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), a cancer-specific stressor, and PTG is mixed. The present study aimed to systematically investigate the overall effect size between the two and to explore moderators that may influence this relationship.MethodsFrom the earliest available date to October 2023, a comprehensive search was conducted in seven databases. Correlation coefficients (r) were calculated using Stata software. Publication type, continent, trauma role, gender, FCR measurements, PTG measurements, sample size, age, and time since diagnosis were used to examine moderating effects. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) assessment tool was used to evaluate study quality.ResultsA total of 14 studies, involving 17 samples and 3,701 participants, were included. The studies found a small association between FCR and PTG (r = 0.161, 95% CI: 0.070–0.249, p < 0.01) and large heterogeneity (I2 = 85.5%). The strength of the association varied according to the publication type and FCR measurement.ConclusionThe current review suggests a small but significant positive correlation between FCR and PTG. Future studies would benefit from exploring additional moderators and the use of standardized, validated FCR measurement tools.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO, identifier CRD42023460407.

“…In their meta-analysis, Wan et al (2022a) examined the relationship between PTG and resilience in breast cancer patients (17 studies, including 4,156 breast cancer patients) and found a high positive correlation between PTG and resilience, while Adamkovic et al (2022) examined the relationship between life satisfaction, PTG, ways of coping and resilience in cancer patients and found that increasing life satisfaction was strongly associated with resilience, moderately associated with ways of coping, and weakly associated with PTG. In a study conducted by Schmidt et al (2012) involving 54 cancer patients, it was discovered that having a secure attachment style was closely linked to positive reframing, active coping, and religion.…”

IntroductionThis study aims to address the positive changes due to traumatic experiences, such as being diagnosed with cancer and experiencing this disease for a certain period. Within this purpose, socio-demographic and disease-related variables, coping ways and illness perceptions that affect posttraumatic growth in cancer patients were examined. Secondly, the findings of this study, which is one of the first studies on posttraumatic growth in cancer patients in Turkey, were compared with the findings of current studies on the subject.MethodDatums were collected by an interview form and three scales (Posttraumatic Growth Scale, Ways of Coping Inventory and Illness Perception Scale-R) to 78 cancer outpatients in Istanbul University Oncology Institute in 2007.ResultsResults showed that cancer patients have higher posttraumatic growth levels than the mean. According to analysis, posttraumatic growth total score between confrontive coping (t = −2.344, p < 0.05), self-controlling (t = −3.704, p < 0.001), accepting responsibility (t = −3.032, p < 0.01), escape-avoidance (t = −2.285, p < 0.05), planful problem solving (t = −2.502, p < 0.05), positive reappraisal (t = −5.241, p < 0.001), and seeking social support (t = −3.527, p < 0.01) has relationship. Also, there is a relation between posttraumatic growth subscales and the Revised form of Illness Perception Questionnaire; Change in relationships with others subscale (t = 2.887, p < 0.01) and Change in self-perception subscale (t = 2.660, p < 0.01) between timeline (acute/chronic), Change in self-perception subscale between timeline (cyclical) (t = −2.788, p < 0.01) and uncontrollable body factors (t = −1.916, p < 0.05) Change in philosophy of life subscale between external attributions (t = −2.057, p < 0.05) and Change in relationships with others subscale (t = −2.920, p < 0.01) between chance factors. It was found that positive reappraisal (F = 78.290, p < 0.001), self-controlling (F = 39.814, p < 0.001), and distancing (F = 46.311, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of posttraumatic growth total score. Results showed that ways of coping and illness perceptions were essential variables in posttraumatic growth.DiscussionStudies on posttraumatic growth in Turkey and the world have significantly increased in recent years. This study aimed to examine the findings obtained from cancer patients in 2007 in discussion with the findings in the current literature. In this context, it is seen that the relevant variables affecting posttraumatic growth in cancer patients in different cultures do not change.

Aim To quantitatively synthesize the correlation between posttraumatic growth and resilience among breast cancer patients and explore the potential moderators affecting the relation. Design A meta‐analysis of cross‐sectional studies. Methods This meta‐analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses 2020 guidelines. This meta‐analysis was carried out by searching Chinese and English databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WANFANG DATA, Chongqing VIP Information Co., Ltd., PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and PsycINFO from inception to February 25, 2022. Pooled Pearson's correlation coefficients between posttraumatic growth and resilience was calculated by the Stata software (version 17.0) using the random effects model. Results Seventeen studies including 4156 breast cancer patients were identified. A high positive correlation was found between posttraumatic growth and resilience (r = 0.448, 95% CI: 0.370–0.519, p < 0.001), and region and publication type significantly moderated the relation.
