“…Assessment of APTG was achieved with a modified version of the PTGI (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996), and small changes in scales could have affected validity. As was reported by Tallman, Shaw, Schultz, and Altmaier (2010) in a study of longterm survivors of HSCT, growth that had been assessed by the PTGI differed from growth that had been reported with open-ended assessments. Also, some participants may have already experienced PTG (e.g., ceiling effect).…”

Posttraumatic growth has been demonstrated to occur following the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Still unknown is whether patients expect such growth, how growth is perceived at early points in time that follow the cancer experience, and whether patient reports of growth are corroborated by others. Participants were 87 patients and 55 collaterals who reported their anticipation of growth pretreatment and their perceived growth at a 9-month follow-up. Patients' expectations for their own growth were significantly higher than collaterals' expectations for theirs. When anticipated growth was compared to later reported growth, patients overanticipated growth across all domains and collaterals underanticipated growth.

“…This was, inter alia, confirmed in the case of women with breast cancer (Bussel & Naus, 2010;Lechner & Antoni, 2004;Lelorain, Tessier, Florin & Bonnaud-Antignac, 2012;Weiss, 2004), men with prostate cancer (Thornton & Perez, 2006), and individuals after bone marrow transplantation (Tallman, Shaw, Schultz & Altmaier, 2010), as well as in patients with other malignancies (Nenova et al, 2013 However, the role of support in the process of de veloping positive posttraumatic changes seems complex, and its effect is determined by many factors, including the type of support and its sources. Based on the available data, one cannot unambiguously identify the types of support that play a more important role during posttraumatic growth in cancer patients.…”

The experience of cancer, in addition to a number of adverse effects that manifest themselves in different spheres of functioning, may also serve human development. This was confirmed by recent studies on posttraumatic growth. This phenomenon requires the presence of positive changes in self-perception, interpersonal relationships, and philosophy of life, which appear as a result of attempts to cope with the aftermath of traumatic events. Studies indicate that the incidence of positive changes as a result of the experience of cancer is quite high and occurs in 30-90% of patients. They relate mainly to the relationships with other people and an appreciation of life and are characteristic especially for the early stages of diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Among the factors determining posttraumatic growth, a key role is attributed to social support. This paper presents the role of social support in the process of developing positive changes after the trauma associated with the experience of cancer, including the types and sources of support. key words posttraumatic growth; cancer; social support

“…Wiele badań wskazuje na pozytywną rolę optymizmu w procesie wzrostu po traumie, także u chorych onkologicznie. Dodatni związek optymizmu z występowaniem pozytywnych zmian potraumatycznych stwierdzono u kobiet zmagają-cych się z rakiem piersi [8,[17][18][19], u osób po przeszczepie szpiku kostnego [20], u chorych na raka jamy ustnej [21], raka wątroby [22] czy zmagają-cych się z chorobą nowotworową będących w stanie terminalnym [23]. Należy jednak podkreślić, że dostępne są wyniki badań, w których nie stwierdzono związku między optymizmem a rozwojem po traumie.…”

StreszczenieBadania prowadzone w ostatnich latach wskazują, że efektem traumy wynikają-cej z doświadczenia choroby nowotworowej mogą być nie tylko negatywne, lecz także pozytywne zmiany ujawniane w postaci potraumatycznego wzrostu. Ich wystąpienie zależy od wielu czynników, w tym od zasobów osobistych jednostki. W artykule przedstawiono rolę zasobów osobistych istotnych w procesie pojawiania się pozytywnych zmian potraumatycznych wynikających z doświadczenia choroby nowotworowej, obejmujących cechy osobowości jednostki, jak również jej przekonania i oczekiwania, takie jak optymizm życiowy, poczucie własnej wartości i skuteczności, nadzieja, duchowość. Uwzględniono także zasoby związane z funkcjonowaniem poznawczym jednostki, w tym posiadane schematy poznawcze, ich podatność na zmiany oraz ruminacje. Przedstawiono ponadto możliwości stymulowania potraumatycznego wzrostu u chorych onkologicznie. AbstractThe studies carried out recent years indicate that the effects of the trauma resulting from the experience of cancer may not only be negative as well as positive changes, revealed in posttraumatic growth. Their occurrence depends of several factors, among them personal resources. The article presents the role of personal resources important in a process of emergence of positive changes resulting from the experience of cancer, including personality traits of the individual, attitudes and expectations such as optimism, self-esteem, self-efficacy, hope, spirituality. The resources related to cognitive functioning, such as cognitive schemata, their vulnerability to change and ruminations were also taken into account. Possibility to promote posttraumatic growth in cancer patients was also presented.Słowa kluczowe: wzrost po traumie, zasoby osobiste, choroba nowotworowa.
