Cancer, now what? A cross-sectional study examining physical symptoms, subjective well-being, and psychological flexibility
Overview
This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between cancer diagnosis, physical symptoms, and subjective well-being among 316 survivors using measures of psychological flexibility. The authors report that participants experienced lower well-being and higher loneliness compared to norms, with relapse associated with the lowest life satisfaction scores. The research suggests that specific components of psychological flexibility may help explain variability in thriving beyond disease characteristics.
