Post-traumatic growth: a qualitative analysis of experiences regarding positive psychological changes among Iranian women with breast cancer.
Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Cancer diagnosis is an extremely stressful experience that has a profound impact on a patient's life. Cancer related perceived stress and complications may lead to the experience of positive psychological changes and post-traumatic growth (PTG). Since there is lack of qualitative research assessing the experience of PTG in Iranian women with breast cancer, this study aims to investigate experiences relating to PTG of Iranian women.
