Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how factors like illness perception, social support, and posttraumatic growth influence the fear of progression (FoP) in cancer patients, highlighting that high levels of FoP can negatively affect quality of life and social functioning.
- - Conducted on 243 adults with digestive system cancer in China, researchers utilized various questionnaires to measure FoP, illness perception, social support, and posttraumatic growth, analyzing the data with advanced statistical methods.
- - Findings indicate that both low and high congruence between illness perception and social support leads to higher FoP, while a mismatch where patients have low illness perception and high social support is beneficial; posttraumatic growth enhances this positive effect on FoP.
