Resilienz bei langzeitüberlebenden Krebspatienten
摘要
The construct of resilience as a protective factor is increasingly discussed in connection with the long-term consequences of cancer.
ObjectivesIn a register-based cohort study, resilience was analysed in a large sample (N = 972) of long-term cancer survivors.
ResultsThere was a positive correlation between resilience and education, income, employment, social support, quality of life and physical activity. Low resilience was associated with higher psychological distress and more limitations due to comorbid diseases.
ConclusionStrengthening resilience is useful in all stages of the disease, including the years after treatment. Resilience-promoting measures and long-term involvement in cancer survivorship care plans are particularly important for people with social risk factors such as loneliness, unemployment or low socioeconomic status.
