“…These findings are consistent with the model of psychological health in cancer survivors put forth by Andrykowski, Lykins, and Floyd (2008) in which the psychological response to cancer is a result of the ability to balance two components: (1) stress and burden and (2) resources. According to this model, to have an adaptive response-one that sustains psychological health-the survivor's stress and burden needs to be equalized by actualizing the intrapersonal, interpersonal, tangible, and informational resources in his life (e.g., inner strength, social support, etc.).…”

“…Cancer survivors can experience physical and psychosocial problems, which are most prevalent during the first year after cancer treatment completion, but may endure for many subsequent years (Andrykowski, Lykins, & Floyd, 2008; Duijts et al., 2014; Hodgkinson, Butow, Fuchs, et al., 2007; Hodgkinson, Butow, Hunt, et al., 2007; Mehnert & Koch, 2008). Many cancer survivors also report having unmet information and support needs in dealing with these issues (Geller, Vacek, Flynn, Lord, & Cranmer, 2014; Hodgkinson, Butow, Fuchs, et al., 2007; Hodgkinson, Butow, Hunt, et al., 2007; Willems et al., 2016a).…”

“…Curiosamente los datos apuntan a que el malestar emocional y el crecimiento personal no son mutuamente excluyentes y que en gran parte de los supervivientes, elementos positivos (crecimiento, desarrollo personal, bienestar) y negativos (malestar emocional) conviven después de la experiencia de enfermedad (25) . En la literatura sobre salud mental de los supervivientes se ha destacado el potencial para la depresión y la ansiedad.…”

“…En la literatura sobre salud mental de los supervivientes se ha destacado el potencial para la depresión y la ansiedad. La prevalencia para la depresión en personas con cáncer se estima que va desde el 0 al 58% y la de ansiedad desde el 6 al 23% (25) . El rango tan amplio de estas cifras refleja las dificultades de identificación de estos trastornos, así como las diferentes metodologías empleadas en los estudios.…”
