摘　　要："创伤后成长"是积极心理学的一个新概念,指个体在与创伤性事件或情境进行抗争后体验到的心理上的正性变化。研究发现癌症患者在经历苦难的同时,也会产生创伤后成长,表现在对新的可能性、与他人关系、生活感恩、个人优势等方面的新感知和精神领域的改变。创伤后成长与患者年龄及心理痛苦水平负相关,与受教育水平、家庭收入、积极应对方式、情绪表达和社会支持正相关。这些结果给临床护理的提示是,重视患者的内在潜能,鼓励患者以积极的应对方式、外化的情绪表达来缓解心理痛苦,通过提供充分的社会支持促进其成长,提高患者抗癌的内在力量。Posttraumatic growth is a new construct in positive psychology .It describes the potential for an individual to develop beyond their pre-trauma level of psychological functioning and experience substantial beneficial changes in cognitions and emotions as a result of negotiating their traumatic experience .Some researches verified the posttraumatic growth of cancer patients covering new possibilities ,relationship with others ,appreciation of life ,personal strength and spiritual change .Posttraumatic growth was related negatively to a patient＆#39;s age ,distress level ,and positively to a patient＆#39;s education level ,family income ,positive coping style ,emotion expression ,and social support .Those findings suggested that medical care should pay more attention to the potential of patients ,encourage them to cope with the stress in a positive style ,to express out their emotional distress ,and give them more social supports .
